Koticzka:

Does it need any further comments comparing to What We Know About HP5? ;)Who will die? Hmmm... Perhaps you have just answered the big question!

As for the rest: You are right on almost every point from my point of view.  However, I have one explanation for lots of the mistakes - nobody is perfect. JKR writes in a hurry.  It is hard to deal with every detail even with beta-readers...

Third: How do they create something out of nothing?  What do they need shops for if one could just use a wand? Bathrooms? Kitchens? Money? I know one could explain some of the details, but we can find more and more scenes like this (where something was created out of nothing). I do not mean the details but a general idea of using charms.  Even Ron could have transformed his robe for the Yule Ball.  Why didn't Mrs. Weasley has do it for him???  She could have gotten his books the same way! If cleaning the classrooms is so easy - and so on, and so on... What is the limit for spells and charms?  Cannot stop wondering >:|  Perhaps it needs some concentration and strength? Has anyone already solved the problem?

  How can you hurt a man who has nothing? 
  Give him something broken.
