Hermione tore the page out and wrote "pipes" on it in case she got petrified. She went to the library because Harry had literally just heard the voice, so she knew it was active at that moment. She also told Penelope to use a mirror. She totally knew she might get attacked and wanted to make sure the information got to somebody if she was

Ron actually didn't tell his mom about his broken wand because he presumed she would refuse to get him a new one. It was just Ron thinking like a 12-year-old that his parents would be vindictive over him misbehaving.

It’s the second time Harry uses Expelliarmus. The first is on Valentine’s day against Malfoy, who had taken the diary.

*Magical historian discovers the resurrection stone and brings back Slytherin.

"Why did you build the Chamber of Secrets?"

"The Chamber of what? You mean my vivarium? Oh dear, I hope Godric remembered to feed Princess Slithers. She gets rather cranky when she's hungry."

Ron hates divination, but he's so perceptive he sort of seems like he has a talent for it.

Myrtle didn't start her ghost hood at the school. She was brought to the school years after her death because she was harassing old schoolmates in their houses. So I think by the time she got to the school, her death was old news and nobody cared enough to ask.

@kable_t.v. 2 years ago

I think the reason Riddle uses the death of Myrtle to make a horcruxe is because it is his first kill as the Heir of Slytherin. It was an important moment to him. It was proof to the world the there was an Heir and they are capable of killing. He was proud of doing "Slytherin's work"

Every book except the first and third has a title chapter.

Favorite moment of this chapter is when McGonagall sends a burn Lockhart's way: "Your skills after all are legendary".

Because last week was the Aragog chapter I thought about why spiders are so afraid of the basilisk. My theory: they can't close their eyes and they don't have enough legs to cover their eyes and still run away 🤣

@j9096-g8k 2 years ago

I mean to be fair a ghost escorting the kids would probably be better, the staff wouldn’t be much good with the basilisk either, at least if the students see the basilisk through professor binns then they wouldn’t die instantly😂

@zimonzieclown1633 2 years ago (edited)

All the books, except for 1 & 3 have chapters that coincide with the title. To wit:
1. PS: N/A
2. CoS: chapter 16
3. PoA: N/A
4. GoF: chapter 16
5. OotP: chapter 5
6. HBP: chapter 9
7. DH: chapter 22 (Note: "Xenophilius Lovegood" is chapter 20)

Funny, I thought I was the only one to notice Snape reaction to Ginny gone missing. Glad someone else picked up on that as well.

I think Harry actually uses Expelliarmus against Draco in the corridor to get Riddle’s diary back

@MrChairBro98 2 years ago

About Ron's broken wand, even though wands choose the wizard, you can use wands that haven't chose you. (Ron's wand is a hand me down after all) After the slug incident there should have been a line about Ron using some basic temp wand until the end of the year, with his damaged one kept in his dorm. Then, when they go to confront Lockart, Ron accidentally grabs his busted wand. Seems like that would make more sense narrative wise while still allowing the Lockhart to Obliviate himself later.

@ArtsySinger 2 years ago

Ben seems to be relating "obliviate" to the word "obliterate;" rather, it's supposed to remind us of the word "oblivious." I think the fact that Lockhart yelled it is largely irrelevant. He was good at the spell, for sure, but that doesn't make yelling it more effective; and obliviators aren't "destroying" stuff, but rather making people "oblivious," as it were. That's why people's memories can technically come back, as in the case of Bertha Jorkins.

@politenonparticipant4859 2 years ago

My fan theory is that Lockhart is not good at memory charms; he just has no subtlety with it. Where professional obliviators are slightly modifying memories to only remove an event and leave them foggy about the time surrounding it, Lockhart seems to be just aiming to reset his targets to default factory settings. An appropriate analogy might be that where rival marksmen are trying to get a bullseye with a rifle, he has brought a punt gun to the firing range.

Here in Britain we use "miles" to mean "far". It's not literal.

E.g. if your friend misses a shot in pool you might say "that was miles away."

I usually sleep in a little on Sundays, then wake up and do so chores and cleaning around my apartment, and having a fresh Through the Griffen Door waiting for me to listen while I work is really fantastic! Thanks guys!

Riddle didn't think that he was the only one to ever "enter" the Room of Requirements. He thought he was the only one who "unlocked it secret": that it's always there consistently and not just use it and forget about it.
The twins "found it" and they didn't think much of it untill Harry showed it to them.
