Do you know of any Plot-Holes in Harry Potter?
♥ ədɐuS ɟo ɹəʇɹoddnS ♥ (SOS) asked:
I found one whilst reading it last night [it migt not be one, i may just be stupid] but Hermione says that if a Muggle were to find Hogwarts, they would find a castle in ruins.. but surely they’d see the people outside on the grounds? Wouldn’t it be more than a little suspicious? o_O
Do you know of any other Plot-Holes?

Does anyone know how to play the game “Adventures Through Hogwarts?”?
Lea C asked:
I got it for my niece the other day, and we accidentally threw the instructions out, and know we have a huge 3-D castle and a bunch of pieces with no clue what to do with them. Anything - a link to the instructions would be peachy.

Harry Potter question about something JKR said in an interview?
♥HP_Fanatic♥ asked:
JKR, when talking about the hufflepuff common room, said it was close to the portrait. And then she said the following quote:
“Sorry - I should say ‘painting’ rather than portrait, because it is a still-life. ”
But my confusion is that, wasn’t the fat lady a painting?? If so, she wasn’t still-life?? or was that just my imagination that she was a painting?. I read on wikipedia:
The Fat Lady is the subject of a painting on the seventh floor of Hogwarts Castle. Her portrait guards the entrance to Gryffindor Tower. Students must tell her the password that she has created to enter the Gryffindor common room.
There it calls it both a painting and a portrait.
So i’m really confused. Is this just another mistake JKR said, or am I not getting something?

Do you think it’s possible to create a real school like Hogwarts from the Harry Potter books?
Ben B asked:
it’s kind of my dream. it would be perfect for it to be done by Sept 1, 2017 because there is a facebook group with over 4,000 members who are meeting at Kings Cross Station on Sept 1, 2017, http://www.facebook.com/group.php?gid=4596534181. The school obviously wouldn’t be for witches or wizards, but it could still have some aspects from the books (Hogwarts Express, Forbidden Forest, Hogwarts Castle, Herbology class, Potions Class (Chemistry)) I was just wondering if there was any way i could make this happen. also any name ideas? Hogwarts School of ___________?
by the way i’m only 13. thanks for any help!!

What do you think of JK Rowling suing over this? Article attatched?
Whatev’ Yo’ asked:
KOLKATA, India (AFP) - Harry Potter author J.K. Rowling is suing organisers of a religious event for constructing a replica of her imaginary Hogwarts Castle in an eastern India city, officials said Thursday.
Rowling and her publishers Bloomsbury are seeking two million rupees (50,000 dollars) from the organisers constructing an elaborate castle from canvas and papier mache in Kolkata for the upcoming Durga Puja festival, court officials said.
The Delhi High Court has summoned the builders on Friday to present their case, they said.
The suit, which runs into 394 pages, argues the organisers of the Hindu festival can stage the upcoming event in the gigantic marquee only after paying two million rupees to the British author.
Rowling’s fictitious world depicts the castle as an ancient school of witchcraft where her eponymous hero Harry Potter learns wizardry.
The marquee in Kolkata’s Salt Lake district replicates the imaginary castle’s outer contours and includes an imitation marble staircase and flagged stone floor in the entrance hall, lit with flaming torches, witnesses said.
The festival organising secretary, Santunu Biswas, said his team would go ahead with the preparations for the four-day festivities, eastern India’s most celebrated annual religious carnival.
“What we are building is not a violation of copyright act anywhere in the world because it’s a religious festival and has nothing to do with money-making,” Biswas told AFP.
Another organiser, Robin Mukherjee, said he was stunned.
“The summons came at a time when the marquee is almost ready and we don’t know what to do now as we cannot afford to pay the fine,” the visibly angry official added.
“It’s just a theme …We have also modelled the Titanic and no-one sued us,” he said.
