Sorry if I bring back this long-forgotten message.

Are you implying that Crouch Jr.'s sentence might have been faked?

That the Dementors really never sucked his soul?

It was just a joke?

Can someone, even LV, fake a Dementor, chill and darkness and all included?

He can certainly dress like one, but what about the "accessories"?

I'm a very late HP fan (only read the books after having been taken somewhat
against my consent to see the second film) and I'm also a rare one-time only
reader, but I had the impression that once the Dementors are there there is
little you can do unless you have a Patronus at hand.

And I suppose Barty didn't, or did he?
