Now, I've only watched the movies myself. Which might explain that I don't have all the backround details as I probably should. Though, I read a lot on-line and frankly; I don't like books. The feel, the look... ugh. Anyway, I'm just asking and I'm in no way trying to poke holes into the story. I just want to know more!
Quidditch - Is this a dumb sport? The way I see it, is if a seek finds the golden snitch, it's all over. One small ball. So really... the other scores don't mean a damn thing. That's like if foot ball had 2 balls. One was really hard to find. Two teams going at it, scoring points, while you had two large guys from the teams looking in the dirt for a small ball. It just doesn't make sense.
Why take a Train - In the beginning of every movie, they always take a train to Hogwarts. ...Am I missing something? Just teleport there. Seriously. At Ron's house, they had a powder and they would walk into a fireplace and say where they wanted to go and poof, they were there. Why is Hogwarts any different?
Fighting - It seems "noble" to fight in the wizard world. Like each person gets a turn at it. What stops a Wizard from throwing a whole bunch of spells at another in order to overwhelm them? I've never seen it happen. It's more or less like two pirates fighting and one swings and then waits for the other to make his/her move.
Spells/potions - It seems so random. There is no spell to grow bones, but there are spells to make them vanish. You can't fix a car with a repair spell, but yet you can fix glasses. You can levitate some things, but you can't levitate others. You can cast a spell to make another person throw up snails, but there is no counter spell or potion to fix it. There is no spell to look like someone else, but there is a potion for it (Not a very good one, might I add. It only lasted for like 15 minutes).
I'm sure there is more, but I can't think of them at the moment. Is there any explaination for these things that aren't in the movie?
