Bren now: I agree, he was very young when he was imprisoned in
Azkaban, even before legal drinking age in the States! (I believe he
was around 19 then, according to Padfoot in GoF). And this was about
a year after Voldemort's downfall, so Barty Jr was atmost 18 when he
became a DE. That's like what, right after Hogwarts?!?
Please correct me if I'm wrong (and I think I am on this one) -- but
when a DE is casting a Dark Mark onto sky, don't they point their
wands in their DM scar and say the incantation? I have no canon to
prove this, I might be getting this mixed up with the Protean Charm
(Voldemort summoning his servants by means of burning the Dark MArk).
Do you guys know how DEs cast DM onto sky?
And where was Barty Jr during the 13 years of non-Voldemort period?
So he was sent to Azkaban in age of 19, presumed dead around 20 or 21
(which we all know was the switch). And Crouch Sr brings him home,
has him Imperio!, Winky takes care of him, persuades Crouch Sr to let
him out for Quidditch World Cup -- what am I missing? Does this mean
that Barty Jr was being imprisoned at home, hiding under Invisibility
Cloak, Imperio-ed, for over 10 years?!?! And all those times Barty
learned to fight it off, and... that's it? I ask again, WHAT AM I
MISSING?
