Cost of a second-hand cauldron, hardly used, bronze.....10 Galleons.
If that cost more than a wand (which it does) than the economy in the HP universe is pretty fucked up.

I agree when you say that a replacement wand isn't as good as your first one. This just goes to show that the whole concept of the ownership of wands is retarded.

As people don't replace their wand every time it gets disarmed, I can safely assume JK only invented this concept when she wrote the 7th book. Once again she did not pay attention to the contradictions she was making, and the plot holes it caused.

 

Actually, JK said there are about 3000 wizards in the UK, so that'd make it 300,000 in the world--possibly less, since I don't see African and Asian wizards reproducing as fast as their muggle counterparts.

 

So that means that, what, 1/3 of all Wizards in the entire fucking world were at the World Cup?

 

Well when you think of it, it is the most popular sport in the world if not the only sport pretty much. Transpost is a lot easier for them. Portkeys international and apperation over shorter distances. Wouldn't be that hard to believe upwards of 5% of them being there.

 

Placing the confundus charm on magical contracts like in book 4.

The fake Moody (forgot his name) was able to deceive the Goblet of Fire and force Harry to compete, why can't Harry do the same to Voldemort and screw him via unbreakable binding contract. Correct me if I'm wrong but don't you get squibbed if you happen to break such a contract?

Meh, just thought about that point after reading. http://www.fanfiction.net/s/3941656/1/Magical_Contracts

Been a hell of a long time since I read canon though....

 

3000 x 1000 = 3,000,000

 

I don't know whether it's actually a plot hole, or just one of JKR's "I am woman hear me roar!" fantasies, but have any of you actually considered Mrs.Crouch? Bartemus Crouch's wife knew she was dying, and she wanted to use her death to aid her only child. Reasonable, so far.
She went to Azkaban, and switched places with her son. Then while dying and being driven mad by Dementors, she managed to drink that polyjuice WITHOUT FAIL every single hour until she actually died.
That lady had a spine of pressed titanium.

 

That's only because The Doctor messed up the math. 60 million multiplied by 1000 is 60 billion, not 6 billion. The correct multiplier would be 100.

 

IIRC it says that dementors can not see, they felt one healthy and one sick enter the prison and one healthy and one sick leave. so there would be no need to keep drinking the potion.

 

I ... presumed ... that the body would have to be examined and identified by the Ministry morgue attendants before burial. It's law where I come from.

 

Actually in GOF, it is said that she was buried by the Dementors in an unmarked grave. You keep on presuming that though. Seeing as the Ministry couldn't even give Sirius a trial, I don't think it's a stretch to say that they couldn't be bothered with the identification of bodies.

 

Didnt it mention that the dementor's buried her on the island?


[/QUOTE]It's law where I come from.[/QUOTE]

Fantasy novel versus real life. I mean where I live they don't let the prisoners become emanciated (sp) to point of being able to slip between the bars. Which I guess could be a plot hole in it self, why wouldn't they put wards on the door?

 

* shudders *
I NEVER want to be part of the British Wizarding World.

 

Your thinking too hard man. Why wouldn't the guards put wards in the door? Because obviously JK only thought about wards in the 7th book, and didn't pay attention to the plot holes she was causing. She already had massive ones by the start of DH. You would think she would have learned by then no? The magical world in the HP universe could have been so much better, if she would have just stopped for a couple of hours, and actually thought her idea through before writing down the plot.

 

Hagrid's dad having sex with a giant anyone?

 

A plot-hole that bothered me to no end was the order of the Elder Wand's owner. If Gregoravitch (sp?) was the master of the wand, how the hell did Grindelwald (sp?) become the master of it, since he stole it. If I recall you have to kill or disarm an opponent to become the Elder Wand's master. So how come Grindelwald and in turn Dumbledore, got to become master's of the wand when Grindelwald stole it from Gregoravitch, without ever harming him?

In this scenario it should stand to reason that the wand wouldn't have worked for Grindelwald, Dumbledore, or Voldemort, and after Voldemort killed Gregoravitch, the power of the wand should have ended.

 

I think Grindelwald never was the master of the Elder wand. This would make sense as he still lost in the duel with Dumbledore, even though the wand was described as unbeatable.

I have no idea how Dumbledore managed to become the master of the Elder Wand. Possibly he met Gregorovitch and disarmed him sometime during his life.

Maybe he just had a strange sexual fetish? Though the question begs exactly how they went through with it. Personally I would rather not know, ignorance is bliss after all.

 

Whoops.
You're right. My...no...The Doctors fault.

Yes, I wondered about that too.
He must have had a diving suit.
Either way, it's not a pretty picture.

 

That put so many wrong pictures in my head.
"Reyhkt shrivels himself up in a ball, and crawls to his bed, where he proceeds to whimper until he falls asleep. Unfortunately he is plagued by nightmares of a man and a giant going at it, until the man's penis falls off and is lost in the gaping hole that belongs to the woman."

Search and rescue anyone?

 

Look at it this way: The G Point is easier to find when it is the size of your head.
