I think Sirius said it himself that Barty Crouch Sr. sent him to Azkaban without a trial.

 

If the Minister is basically a dictator, then why the hell was Voldemort trying to overthrow a regime instead of trying to be elected (do we know exactly just how Minister is chosen) ?

Would it be incorrect to say that Voldemort certainly achieved more in almost one year of being a puppeteer of a puppet Ministry than in more than (5/10 ?) years of violent terrorism ?

And thanks for previous answers.

 

I found something:

 

Was Sirius the only one sent to Azkaban without a trial? Besides Hagrid.

I mean, most of the Death Eaters that were in Azkaban seem to have gotten trials, or at least Bellatrix did. What made Crouch toss Sirius into Azkaban without one?

 

It was, I think, the same day Voldemort died. Now, you would think that would be a positive thing, and make throwing him in azkaban immediately without a trial less urgent. However, VOldemort was brought down with absolutely no interaction from the ministry that has failed to bring him down for years. A child did what supposedly well trained aurors repeatedly failed to do. So while the magical world rejoices, the ministry looks incopetent. Throwing a murderer death eater in prison who appears vaguely related to the incident is a fast way to both boost public opinion, and appear relevant.

 

Stan Shunpike.

 

What is the way to end a fidelius charm? Not breaking it or finding away around it, but "we're done with this now and we don't need it anymore".

 

There's probably a spell to cancel the effect; a Finito Incantatem analogue or something.

 

I figured that, but I was wondering if it was ever mentioned in the books, or possibly on Pottermore.

 

Perhaps there isn't. Would explain why it's not so widespread.

 

It's not widespread because it's obscure as fuck. Pretty sure either Dumbledore or Lily found it and dusted it off to hide the Potters.

 

Obscurity is not a cause it's a side effect. So it can be rephrased: Perhaps the spell was never used and fell into obscurity because there is no way to dispel it.

 

Whats up with the multiple different colored bans, does one type of ban differ from another?

 

The Fidelus Charm isn't a spell everyone and their grandmother were throwing up during the war. Beyond being basically unknown, it was also extremely difficult to cast. Fanon has inflated the perception of it being a go to charm for protection. The inability to dispel it is speculation, so it's authors choice as to where you stand on it.

Besides, I find it extremely unlikely that what magic has done, it cannot undo, the sole exception being damage to the human body.

 

If you're referring to here on the forums (which would make this not exactly the right place to ask it, but whatever), it usually differs based on who banned the person: red is Midknight, cyan is Vash, pink is Sree, etc. Black typically signifies temporary bans.

 

Thanks, yea I wasn't to sure if this was the right place,but I did not want to make a thread for such a minor question. Thanks for the answer.

 

In book 4 at the World Cup the Ministry has a muggle collecting money for them. Was there an explanation for this, or was this just poor planning on their part? Why not have a wizard collect money who understood what was going on?
Should this be in the HP plot hole section of DLP?
