Eustace_Scrubb:
The chocolate frog cards are an interesting possibility.  But would
they work the same for other living wizards and witches portrayed? 
Can the members of the Weird Sisters keep tabs on Harry that way, too?
What if Harry keeps his Chocolate Frog cards in a shoebox under his
bed?  Does he have to carry his Dumbledore card around with him for it
to work?

(a small nitpick:  I think the only time a chocolate frog jumps out
the window is in the ...hem, hem...adaptation in a medium not to be
discussed on the main list...hem, hem...end nitpick)

Eustace_Scrubb:
Again, an interesting idea...there certainly seems to be something
important about the fact that Harry wears glasses.  And DD seems to be
worried that Voldemort might be able to see using Harry's eyes in OoP.
Does this mean that LV and DD can both be seeing what Harry's
up to through different magical means?

Cheers,
