Hi! I'm Ronald Yu, and I'm new here.
And since I'm new, forgive me if I ask questions
already discussed before. I've searched these already
in HP sites but none seem to tackle them (or maybe I
didn't search well). Well, I'm sure somebody somewhere
have asked himself some of these before. And I'm sure
there are other newbies here as well.
How did Myrtle die if she wears glasses (Colin was
petrified using the camera)?
How did ghosts take their clothes and glasses with
them when they died?
In book 3, Quidditch Final, Lee comments on the beater
work of George Weasley. How could he have known it was
HIM (not Fred)? I mean, flying at top speed and
everything, he recognized George.
What's the use of the first two tasks if the champion
who reaches the Triwizard Cup first wins?
Why not use Veritaserum or the Pensieve as evidences
for Harry's account at the end of book 4? And to clear
Sirius as well.
Why do the Hogwarts electives have such impossible
schedules? I mean, if you have the option of taking as
much classes as you can, they should make the schedule
possible to follow without time-turners.
And since you have options of electives they should
not be scheduled by house (Care of Magical Creatures
with the Slytherins).
With Arithmancy and Divination taking place
simultaneously, is Hermione the only Gryffindor (in
her year) in Arithmancy? Everyone else is in
Divination.
Why not Snape go for DADA? What's stopping him?
Why do wizards still use owls for messages? Frankly,
phones are faster; they should at least try to adapt
to muggle ways.
Quirrell could have just said 'Accio, Philosopher's
Stone!' when he wanted it out of Harry's pocket.
Why are there 4-5 quidditch players in Fred and
George's batch (them, Alicia, and Angelina, and likely
but not positively, Katie)? Is their year really that
good?
What's the big fuss in not being able to apparate or
disapparate within Hogwarts? One could make a portkey
anytime and portkey himself in or out of the grounds.
No one ever seems to mind or at least notice (even
Harry) that Oct. 31 is not only Nick's deathday but
also James's and Lily's.
Where are the dead bodies of James and Lily?
If house elves don't want pay the Weasleys could get
one anytime. Why don't they? Molly wants one.
If you live in Hogsmeade it would make perfect sense
NOT to take the Hogwarts Express to Hogwarts. Do all
students need to ride it to school?
If Voldie couldn't kill Harry with his wand he could
have done so anytime with a gun or something.
Do Quaffles move on their own? There's at least one
instance when it fell, but in the World Cup it
rocketed upwards when it was released.
Why could they talk to paintings and not to photos? It
is more likely to be the other way around, since
photos are based on real people.
