One Harry Potter question I’ve always had is: In Philosopher’s Stone when Vernon and Petunia took Dudley to the hospital to get his tail removed, how on earth did they explain it to the doctors?

[@rosemali3022]

Birth defect. Or a REALLY overgrown wart. Or they just paid them off. Yeah. Definitely the last one.

[@alexandermarvin9536]

It was a private hospital, instead of one of the public ones.

[@futureivygirl]

Actually my theory is that the government only the government knew abt wizards and their secrets so they took him to a private hospital where muggles go when they get cursed or in this case a piggy tail. Idk but I just can’t up with it bc this can’t be the only time muggles got cursed or something by a wizard.

[@michellewilt4479]

@@philipmalaby8172 eh, he's arguably got a good paying job. He managed to make a high enough wage to house, feed, and clothe a family of 9, and still have some money to put into personal interests of his family, and allow his wife to be a stay at home mother. Sure, the clothes were second hand and the interests were lower cost stuff, but even in the wizarding world, a large family costs a lot of money. If they had had one or two kids, they likely would have been relatively well off. Not Malfoy level, definitely, but still middle class. Plus he works in a job he absolutely loves, so I'm not sure he would ever use the dirt he's got on his co-workers to ever get a position away from doing it.

[@Levacque]

@@philipmalaby8172 it's because of two things: he loves the work he does, so he swallows his pride regarding the pay, and the other thing is that the Ministry establishment is clearly biased against progressive attitudes like being pro-muggle. He's stuck in that position until Fudge gets canned, remember.

[@tjkim1999]

The whole Ludo thing is a stretch. Bagman is characterized as being bad with his money. His gift is supposed to set up that character traits. His brother's lawnmower probably was the smallest thing and Arthur took care of it. Ludo then went and gave a ridiculous gift in return. This properly highlights his financial irresponsibility and makes total sense from a literary perspective.

[@ybeanie8720]

Yes! I also disagreed with the bagman one, I'm glad I found this comment :)

I always thought it was funny that Malfoy(in the movie) makes fun of them for having high up seats, but in its quidditch. You’d want to be high up.

[@survivordave]

He didn't make fun of them for being high up seats. Those were the exact seats the Malfoys also sat in. He made fun of him for being poor and that their house is so worthless there's no way he'd get enough money to afford top box seats by selling it.

[@kevind6723]

@@survivordave I respectfully disagree. Firstly, I’m referring to Malfoy senior. Whom says after Ron asks “dad how high up are we?” Malfoy senior says “well put it this way, if it rains you’ll be the first to know”. I don’t think there’s any other way to take that comment other than Malfoy is insulting them for having bad seats and being poor. It’s pretty commonly known in the real word that seats way up high are the cheap seats, but in quidditch one would think it would be the opposite. The higher up you are the better you can see.

[@survivordave]

@@kevind6723 That dialogue from Lucius Malfoy must have been exclusive to the movie because it certainly wasn't in the books. I was referring to the dialogue from the book. I've only watched each movie once but have read through each of the books a dozen or more times, so I'm quite certain I'm describing the book scene accurately. In the books the Weasleys, Harry, etc are up in the Top Box with the Malfoys, the British and Bulgarian Ministers of Magic, and Ludo who was doing the commentating. The movies must have changed it to be more realistic to the Weasley's poverty (although in the book the tickets to the top box were a gift from Ludo to repay a favor Mr Weasley did for him, not that Mr Weasley had to pay for them)

[@kevind6723]

@@survivordave you are 100% correct. It’s the movies where that dialogue takes place. It makes sense in the book. Looks like it was just a miscommunication between the two of us. I was referring to the movies and you were talking about the books. No biggie. I’ve read the books a bunch. And they make a lot more sense than the movies do. The movies have a lot of weird inconsistencies, from little stuff like I was just referring to, and to kind of big stuff like Dumbledore hunting for horcruxes before he even knew that Voldemort had created them. In the book he wants to know how many he created, but in the movie he doesn’t even know that he created them yet he’s been hunting for them for over a year. It doesn’t sense.

Theory: is there a dark story behind professor binns teaching history after his death? They portray it in the books as if he’s just really dedicated or something, but to my knowledge he’s the only ghost who is doing labor for the sake of people in the living realm. Also I think that there are a lot of preparations a wizard needs to make to become a ghost, and it seems odd to make those preparations just to keep working beyond his own death. Is there any chance that binns is continuing to teach because he has been cursed in some way? And if so, who might have done it? Also, trivia fun fact: his first name is cuthbert

[@factsandstuff2832]

I thought they said it was because he didn't notice he was dead and just kept teaching

One of them bet Ireland would win the other twin bet that Krum would catch the Snitch. For them considering Krum to be the best seeker by a wide margin this meant that at worst (Krum catches it 5 seconds in) they would break even. If something happened to Krum (bludger injury for example) then Ireland would still win and they would again break even. This made it a pretty safe bet.

The mirror duck thing made me do a double-take (and rewind). I get it now, he desired to have the duck, but he wanted to use it for something, so the mirror just showed him the duck in the reflection but didn't give it to him.

In the programming world, there’s something called “rubber duck debugging” where you have a big in your code that you are trying to figure out and if you don’t have anyone to talk to you can talk it out to a rubber duck and you might just solve the problem. Or if you go ask someone about the problem and end up solving it without their help you say “thanks for being my rubber duck” en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rubber_duck_debugging

And yet it is well known that "absolute power corrupts absolutely". You could argue that it's the fear of losing said power that causes the corruption. But in that case you will have to accept that said fear would not exist without the power and thus the power is still the source of the corruption.

Borrowing without asking is bending, because it is still technically stealing, but you bring it back. Taking and never returning something is breaking, regardless of the reason, it is outright stealing.

[@adde9506]

@@Mark_Goddin We do have that in the USA. Officers are responsible for interpreting the law in order to apply it. That's why they can give you a warning instead of a ticket when they pull you over, to use the most familiar example. Although, a starving person may actually be done better by a weekend indoors with 3 meals a day, free medical care, and referral to social services, than just by letting them go.

[@heatherturpin5396]

That is an excellent movie! Semi-Spoilers...... Also, I had the Blalock-Taussig Shunt. I was born without several parts of my heart which caused me to be a “blue baby.” They had to do the Blalock-Taussig Shunt to get oxygenated blood to my body before they even attempted to “fix” my heart. That surgery gave me the six months I needed to get to the next surgery, which gave me the 8 months I needed to get to my final surgery. My doctor actually had Dr. Blalock on the phone while doing my surgery. According to my mom, the movie is extremely accurate in how the surgery works and the experience for the parents.
