Re: Question about the start of the books
But weren't those Muggle authorities? Aurors or MoM officials must recognise an AKed body when they see one...

Re: Little Questions Answered v10
I've only skim-read the last few pages, so forgive me if anyone's brought up this before.

Re: Little Questions Answered v10
I'm not quite sure this is the the right place, but I couldn't find a better place. We all know that some witches and wizards are born to Muggle parents hence making them Muggle-born. But is it, for lack of a better word, a genetic thing. For example Colin Creevy we learn is the son of a milk man, yet Dennis Creevy is also a wizard. Yet Lily Evans was a Muggle-born witch and Jo has confirmed that Petunia Evans is a Muggle. Is there a likelyhood one way or the other? Another example I may have missed?

Re: Little Questions Answered v10
I think Sirius was a definite secret-keeper for the Potters because no where does it say he wasnt NOT the secret keeper (nouble negative). I dont think this subject would be as important for JK rowling to elaborate on in book 7, she has to spend time on the plot ok the book. she might brush by the subject, this is all in my opinion take or leave it.

Re: Little Questions Answered v10
When Sirius, Lupin and the kids were in the shrieking shack he said he talked the Potters into using Pettigrew instead. Sirius definitely was not the secret keeper for the Potters.

Re: Little Questions Answered v10
In the scene in the shreaking shack where Remus & Sirius turn the rat Wormtail back into Peter the Man . Does it ever say what the spell was that they used to do it ? I can't find any mention of it in my books (Canadian version) does it say anything about it in the British or US or other Foreign Language Books ?

Re: Little Questions Answered v10
I like the sarcastic version better - it sounds more realistic, but I suspect it was changed so as not to confuse people. I wonder how long after DH it will be "safe" to buy a complete boxed set with all the corrections in place?

Anyway, I have another two fold question. I asked one the other day, but no one responded. 1.How was Tom's name put down to attend Hogwart's since birth. Who registered him or is a magical student automatically entered? 2.And lastly, since Tom was performing underage magic, how come the MoM never sent him any owls or some type of warning? I realize that Harry's accidental magic (before he was accepted to Hogwarts) he didn't receive any messages, but no doubt this magic had to be noticed by them..they tend to be johnny on the spot, but you would think that MoM would have been aware that Tom's magic was way over the top and dangerous. ![]()

Re: Little Questions Answered v10
McGonagall has a magic book that writes down all the names of witches and wizards that are born. Each year she checks the book and sends owls to those turning 11 before September 1st.
Sounds a bit on the "Happy Ever After" side of things for me, but that's what Jo said. I assume that, as Tom was under 11, and thus wasn't explicitly told he was a wizard, he was let off. It's the same theory for Harry and his levitating onto the roof or his hair growing back.

Re: Little Questions Answered v10
I always wonder about Irish witches and wizards- do you think they all go to Hogwarts, or is there a school in Ireland? Seamus Finnegan is Irish, and Luna seems to be, but no other Irish students are mentioned. Also in one scene we see Seamus buying his school supplies in Diagon Alley, I would imagine there has to be a place in Ireland where witches and wizards can buy stuff.
