Unresolved Mysteries from the HP series!

yeah that was a bit weird. surely the teachers should have told them about grades

[Emma'I'm a real witch']

Fred and George are really worth a second (and third and..) thought. They really seem extraordinarily powerful, as does Ginny, I think.

I thought there was more to Fred and George after OotP especially when Professor Flitwick leaves a bit of the swamp saying it was a 'really good bit of magic'. For the charms teacher to think it was good then it had to be.
Also Hermione is impressed when they make the hats that make your head become invisible too. These are two people who seem difficult to impress, being impressed by the magic of Fred and George.

Cool mysteries! I didn't even notice half of them!
It's weird about your mystery 8 it should have been so obvious to me but it didn't strike me at all as odd. Now that you mention it though, hmm... how could Fred+George possibly know unless they were just incredibly lucky?

Good Topic, becuase JKR realy leaves herself so many open ends to bring up later in the series. I will give my answer for each, another long post.

1. I was wondering that myself, maybe wands have some sort of like "tracking system" you know like if you lose it? Possible Malfoy had it and hid it somewhere, he does seem to have a lot of Voldemorts things (diary). Or wormtail collected it from the ruins of Lily and James house, he was a rat so he could get in undetected. The latter seems most likly, but really any of them is possible.

2. Isn't Florence the owner of the ice cream shop in Diagon Alley? Florence was referred to as a he "he knew quite a bit about witch burnings." Maybe the person kissing Florance was a girl and he (Florance) hexed Bertha. Maybe the girl being kissed was Lily???

3. Yes, common knowledge says James, then Lily, then an atempt to kill Harry. But thats just word of mouth. Maybe thats the story people are expected to believe, wouldn't be the first time JK had thrown a twist in the story. Maybe its a print error and all of these theories are null, but it does give us a lot to write about.

4. Ahh, good point. That genius, I didn't even notice that. Maybe another evil person is growing powerful too. It could also be a good person. Really that is a good question......

Or

Harry caught Dumbledore off gaurd and Dumbledore's thoughts were else where, such as on what was to happen to the world in years to come becuase Voldemort is growing stronger.

5. Maybe he wasn't important enough to be called into his inner circul. The people called might have been only his most loyal followers. If you notice he didn't mention rockwood ether. There have to be more then maybe 25 death eaters around. I think we have only begun to see that amount of followers Voldemort has.


6. Thats a very good question. It could be Malfoy, in all likwly hood it is, but maybe its Dumbledore. It is Tom Riddle's fathers house, maybe there is some significantes to it, we shall find out.

7. I think that they knew about it becuase Portkeys are set up to go back and worth, it could also be an over sight, but all likelyhood says that they are two way portals.

8. I think there is more to Fred and George then meets the eye. They are very powerful wizards. A lot of those tricks they are selling are very advanced magic, ie. the hat which extends the spell out over the wearers head, the Skivying Snake Boxs, the Uber-Fireworks, and the Portable Swamp.

I am an idiot, Florance wasn't the owner of the ice cream shop, it is Florenes,




Sorry for that and the double post *smaking head....ow"

Ok, I didn't quite get the whole prophecy thing between the Potter's and the Longbottom's. Something, at least to me, has been left unexplained.

It could have been either Harry or Neville, Right? Both born the end of July, both Parents having defied old Voldy three times.

So just why did he choose the Potters over the Longbottoms? What made him think it was more likely Harry than Neville? Was it just luck of the draw? Did he try the Longbottoms first, and when it wasn't working out with them, for whatever reason, he went to the Potters?

It suggest that he chose Harry because he was a half-blood, like himself. But what about him being a half blood would make Voldy choose Harry?Certainly there were other half-bloods around. Granted probably none that had defied him three-times. "He saw himself in you." Dumbledore says. But there certainly has to be more to it than just that they were both half-bloods. And why would Voldy hate half-bloods so much if he is a half-blood himself? Could it have something to do with Voldy's mother's death? Why did he kill his father, and grandparents? And what does all this have to do with Harry Potter?

I think Tom's hatred for muggles came from his father leaving when he found out anbout Tom's mother being a witch. Also, Tom's hatred for half-bloods when he himself is half-blood is a purposeful contradiction in the main enemy character.

I'm not keen on the Hitler, WW2 theory, but using Hitler as an example - he believed that blond hair, blue eyes were the master race when he himself had dark hair. He was also Austrian, not German. He had contradictions in his creed too.

These contradictions can cause the normal angry person into the maniac they become as they hate what they are and strive to be something "better", and go to extreme lengths to forget about their so-called problems.

i totally agree, i think that this anger makes people do extraordinary things! just look at harry, angry little chap he is
