Hermione states as she pulls the portrait of Phineas Nigellus Black out if the beaded bag that he would know the current state of the Sword of Gryffindor because his portrait is hung near it’s case.

 Hermione has never been to the headmaster's study.

At Harry’s 17th birthday party, Charlie Weasley mentions to Hagrid that Norbert, the Norwegian Ridgeback is a girl. Hermione says, “how can you tell?” Hermione, you’re 17. Your parents should have had that talk with you when you were 10 or so.

   Now, the movies would lead you to believe that is this Albus Dumbledore. This is incorrect. The movies added that bit to save on time.

   The person who has successfully Apparated or Disapparated in Hogswarts (aside from the lessons with Wilkie Twicross) is Montegue.

   This had never dawned on me. But I was reading the speech Draco gives to Dumbeldore on top of the Astronomy tower. And he said that Montegue was in the broken Vanishing Cabinet and Disapparated out and ending up at Hogwarts in a toilet.

   This is supposed to be impossible. Now, it’s half possible in this situation. If he were leaning toward Borgin and Burkes (it states that he floated between the two locations) then I believe he would have been able to Disapparate. Easy.

   Now ending up back at Hogwarts, makes me wonder. Do Vanishing Cabinets creates an area that breaks magical physics? Did he harness the power of the cabinet and it gave him an extra push? Is that why he ended up in a toilet?

   The world may never know.

Happy birthday to Mr. Remus Lupin.

I’ve always had thus theory. The Muggle Prime Minster has a portrait in his office that announces when the Minister of Magic is to appear. I believe this man is somehow related to Dolores Umbridge.

• He is described as ugly, and his US illustration makes him look fairly toadlike. We all know Umbridge is no looker.
• He’s involved with the Ministry and takes his job very seriously. He also works specifically with the current Minister of Magic.
• He—in my mind—has a signature cough. I imagine it’s not a “hem! hem!” but a male variant.

     In Harry’s 5th year, he sits in on the O.W.L. examinations.

     It is stated that students are called in alphabetically: (i.e. “Goyle, Gregory; Greengrass, Daphne; Granger, Hermione” or “Patil, Padma; Patil, Parvati; Parkinson, Pansy; Potter, Harry”)

     However, during one of the practical exams, Draco Malfoy is just a few desks away. That seems plausible, yes? But, later on in the week, Harry is right next to Hannah ABBOTT.

     How is this explainable? The only logical explanation, considering her nerves had gotten the better of her several times in the weeks leading up to exams, is she just took FOR-FREAKING-EVER.

     But that’s okay. You don’t need an O.W.L. in Transfiguration to run the Leaky Cauldron.

   Anyone else notice this? The two most notable squibs in the series have GREAT affinities for cats.

   Argus Filch has Mrs. Norris, who he treats like a soulmate. She also spies for him.

   Mrs. Arabella Figg has her gaggle of cats which she uses as spies.

   Also notice that they have the same initials. Mrs. Figg’s middle name is “Doreen.” Maybe He is Argus D. Filch.

If you made a Horcrux, what would it be and where would you hide it?

   In the third year, most of Harry’s classmates sit in on the Diviniation final exam. Professor Trelawney would only see them one at a time. In the strangest order.

    Brown, Lavender

    Longbottom, Neville

    Patil, Parvati

    Weasley, Ronald

    Potter, Harry

WHAT KIND OF ALPHABET IS THAT, SIBYL?!
