_Kids' Letters to Harry Potter from Around the World_

This is the title of the book I'm currently reading.  The letters are
fun if at times a bit repetitive.  However, I've already (I'm about
1/3 of the way through) read two major bits of insight from the
kiddies:

-- When they're trying to restrain Wormtail in the Shrieking
    Shack, why didn't Hermione (or someone) put the Full Body-Bind
    on him?  Then he couldn't have escaped, even after Lupin
    transformed!

-- Why didn't someone do a Priori Incantatum on Sirius' wand to
    find out whether he murdered those people or not?  (I think
    the answer to this is that Crouch, Sr. wanted to create the
    impression that DE's were being aprehended... Justice was an
    optional extra.)
