That’s all for this year - thanks for the fun everyone!

Mine is that I want a 8th book. There I said it. I want MORE.

Canonically Colin Creevey is saved from the Basilisk by watching it trough his camera’s rangefinder (Argus C3 Matchmatic), a rangefinder is just a slightly magnified piece of glass (as opposite to viewfinders that use mirrors) but Myrtle was wearing her glasses which are just a slightly magnified piece of glass why did she die but Colin didn’t?

Edit: if she took off her glasses why did the ghost have em?

Edit 2: I also just realised that Dumbledore tries to get the pictures by opening and exposing the film to light lol

I think I got everyone - moving on to the next thread.

Move on over to the Ravenclaw pride post!

Harry is one of the best seekers in recent wizarding history. He’s talented enough to get on the Gryffindor team and repeatedly catch the snitch in his first year, and plays well throughout the series.

He’s obviously a great flier, but the seeker’s job is to find the snitch, which is super small, and I would assume it’s difficult to see. However, Harry’s eyesight is very poor - Hermoine comments on it when she takes the polyjuice potion in DH.

How is it possible for Harry to be such a good seeker with such bad eyesight? Are sports glasses improved in the wizarding world? Does he have innate magical ability that helps him to find it? Or is his natural skill all there is to it? I’d like to hear everyone’s opinions :)
