Honestly, hearing you talk about the car makes me wish it'd come back in Deathly Hallows, just running down Death Eaters during the battle of Hogwarts.

If Myrtle was crying in the bathroom her glasses could have been off

Love the thestral car theory. It doesn't have to "be" a thestral. Mr Weasley put the flying and invisibility charms on the car. It may have required thestral hair to be essentially wired into it, giving the car another similarity to the Elder Wand.

I honestly feel that the intelligence of the Ford Anglia shows that Arthur Weasley is low-key one of the greatest artificers in the Wizarding World. It's just that no one (especially himself) ever realized it.

Here is the thing about Myrtle. She was not at Hogwarts for several decades after she died. Her whole reason for coming back as a ghost was to haunt Olive Hornby. She was driving her old bully up the wall, and even did something disastrous at Olive's brother's wedding. It wasn't until Olive made a complaint to the Spirit Division at the Ministry that she came back to Hogwarts and started to haunt the girl's restrooms. Chances are Dumbledore never realized the bathroom ghost was the Myrtle who Voldemort murdered.

‘I will only be gone till none here are loyal to me’ it’s bittersweet as Harry remembers and states that line to Rufus scrimgeor at Dumbledore’s funeral 😢

If seeing the reflection of the basilisc’s stare prevents instant death, it would be logical that being blind prevents all the basilisc’s stare effects.

I would say this chapter has one of the most chilling lines in the series. " But I cannot deny them fresh meat, when it wanders so willingly into our midst, goodbye, friend of hagrid."

The single most chilling line happens in the fifth book said by Dumbledore but we'll get there when we get there

I never thought of Aragog as being blind, all along, I just figured in his advanced age, he became blind.

“I believe you but I’m not taking your advice” is basically Dumbledore’s response to Harry’s complaints about Snape LOL

@tiinakarmala633 2 years ago

Every time you mention that the spiders don't talk about the creature, I think about "we don't talk about Bruno". And now I'm certain that the basilisk's name is Bruno :)

@mikebrown1881 2 years ago

I think Aragog wasn’t blind when Hagrid raised him, that’s why he also was afraid by the basilisc. Aragog went blind because he is very old. He got old age cataract.

Thanks guys. Every Sunday morning. I get excited cause i know a new episode of Through the Griffin Door is coming out.

Calling Malfoy a "little turd" was one of the funniest things I've heard in awhile

@Acromion11 2 years ago

That fact about two werewolves mating while in wolf form is widely overlooked phenomenon

@kuna3627 2 years ago

Myrtle was not in the Hogwarts after her death, she was haunting Olive Hornby, and only after Olive's complaint to the Ministry, she came back to Hogwarts - we don't know, how many years have passed after her death. Most of the people might not even know, that she was there and she was the victim from the past.

@andrewguardado2373 2 years ago

My assumption has always been that the writing on the wall made everyone assume a human being was behind the attacks, not Slytherin’s monster. Which is why the signs of a basilisk were ignored.

@mistv901 2 years ago (edited)

I love how Hermione is missing strengthens Ron's resolve to face the spiders. Such a great little moment. He holds it together throughout the entire ordeal. Then when their safe, he's like h-hold on a mo- vomit. "Follow the bloody butterflies!" Kinda sad they skipped over those last lines.
