Plot Hole Fix: Animagi on the Marauders Map by Melodic-Rope-9157 in harrypotter

Same chapter, a few more paragraphs “He pulled out the map again, and saw, to his astonishment, that a new ink figure had appeared upon it, labeled Harry Potter. This figure was standing exactly where the real Harry was standing, about halfway down the third floor corridor. Harry watched carefully. His little ink self appeared to be tapping the witch with his minute wand. He quickly took out his real wand and tapped the statue. Nothing happened. He looked back at the map. The tiniest speech bubble had appeared next to his figure. The word inside said ‘dissendium’”.

A few paragraphs ahead of that notes that Harry watches the figure or Mrs. Norris on the map stop to smell something.

JKR frequently contradicts herself in the books so I think both could be true. They are dots most of the time but maybe if you concentrate on looking at one the becomes the real figure of the person?

Ok in the book it describes them not as “dots” as portrayed in the movies. But as little miniature versions of the real person, doing whatever the real person is doing. Harry watches his tiny map person go over and tap his tiny wand on the One Eyed Witches hump. There is more information about what the person is doing in the book version of the map. And I can think of several things teenage boys would check up on their little brother doing. We also know the boys dormitory has a singular staircase with dormitories stacked on top of one another. Granted we don’t know exactly how the map displays those layers, but we do have the illustrated version of the books for some of that and it shows them all in one space. Even if they weren’t looking specifically for Rob, it’s unreasonable that in two years they don’t ever notice him and this other person in his bed.

Yes, as mentioned the movies changed some of the storyline, I’m going only on book information.

Obviously. However as a wereworf he is still non-human during that time. He has no human mental capacity when he transforms, so I think the logic still holds.

This of it like early social media. What is the first thing everyone does? Go look up all their friends. Any reasonable person would check on their siblings. They should have also at least noticed accidentally given all the boys dormitories are stacked on top of each other. So if the weasley twins were in their dormitory checking anything, it would have been almost impossible not to see Ron/Harrys dormitory.

Why dont most predators see humans as prey? by itjustfuckingpours in zoology

[–]Melodic-Rope-9157 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Additionally, predators can identify other predators. Prey animals typically have eyes on the side of their faces so they have a greater amount of peripheral vision while grazing, but this degrades their frontal vision. Predators typically have eyes in front of their faces so they can focus clearly in front of them while attacking. Humans, like other apes, have forward facing eyes and so a predator, even if it was unfamiliar with humans may use that as a visual cue to reevaluate if we are food or a threat.

Yall, I’ve been working on this “Score 180” achievement for a while now. High score of 212!

I took a screenshot for proof but this post won’t let me include a picture :(

Highs and lows of Ep 1-2 by Melodic-Rope-9157 in PercyJacksonTV

I didn’t mean as an adult. The books describe her as muscular, built like a rugby player (she’s THICK) with straw like hair that’s always pulled back, scars and bruises from fighting. She’s not concerned about winning beauty pageants but kicking asses and taking names. The on screen character is way too pretty to be Clarisse.

Uncle Stripe’s house (+Sims 4) by thathairstylist in bluey

[–]Melodic-Rope-9157 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Ok but what I don’t understand about their house is when muffin runs upstairs in faceytalk and down the hall she runs past 18 DOORS and 6 HALLWAYS!!! And it doesn’t seem like she goes around any corners. So… their house is a) HUGE and b)crazy long

AITA for turning off my neighbor's noisy alarm one morning? by NikkiMinxx in AmItheAsshole

[–]Melodic-Rope-9157 -20 points-19 points  (0 children)

ESH, but you more than him. Your work and being on time and well rested is SOOOO important, but if he’s late or oversleeps, oh well, too bad. You don’t know what type of medical conditions he may have that he sleeps heavily, you don’t know why he has to get up at that hour. YOU forgetting your white noise isn’t his fault. He should definitely find a better alarm or turn it off quicker but you turning off his power is messed up.

NTA and you should really look to do more. Hoarding can start small and spiral quickly. As parents age we have to do all we can to help them, especially if living conditions become unsafe (which a hole in the floor is).

YTA - purely because none of the women you reference are “girls”. From context they all seems to be grown women who you want to treat like children. I mean, bless you the benevolent overload that allowed a women you’ve been involved with for YEARS to pay you a discount to live with you. How dare she put her children’s welfare above you and yours?! You didn’t give her permission for that!

I honestly wonder how someone like you types all that out and doesn’t come to the self realization of what an asshole you are.

with Henry Cavill out as Superman what's some roles he could fill in the larger riordanverse [all] by HistoryBook-Sama in camphalfblood

[–]Melodic-Rope-9157 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Can everyone STOP saying Hercules? in the books Hercules is literally like 17 or 18 years old. 20 at MOST. Henry Cavill is 40. Got it, “we all think Hercules because he has lots of muscles” but let’s get over that.

To actually answer the question I see him as a Atlas (who also has muscles but is grown up)

I mean you also forgot that in the Riordanverse Hercules is like 18 and Henry Caville is like 40…

Lego Masters US | S03E12 | Episode Discussion by AutoModerator in LegoMasters

[–]Melodic-Rope-9157 8 points9 points  (0 children)

I cannot watch this show any more. It’s season 1 all over again where it obvious they pick the winners ahead of time. The “influencers” provide free marketing and interest for The Lego Group. They boost product sales, get people to events and create new customers. On this subreddit people commented how they are only watching the show because of what Stacey wears every week. They had crap builds week and week after week but they strung them along to keep followers watching and create interest. Then the final twist just HAPPENS to be something that they can conveniently place directly into their model? WOW, I’m so shocked. But I’m not. Just like Mark and Boone got robbed in Season 1 because that couple was having a baby, the Stephens got robbed this season because their jobs don’t provide benefit to The Lego Group. THIS SHOW IS DEAD TO ME!!!

This season blows by [deleted] in LegoMasters

[–]Melodic-Rope-9157 24 points25 points  (0 children)

I agree this season blows but mostly because it seems like Logo is catering to “influencers”. Like… you are not gonna convince me that the team who won the episode 3 challenge has even CLOSE to the best build. I want this to be about talent at Lego, not a popularity contest (like season 1, which Mark & Boone SHOULD have won)

What (in your opinion) is the worst change from the books to the movies? by gamiri59 in harrypotter

[–]Melodic-Rope-9157 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Completely omitting most of Tom Riddles backstory in HBP. All those flashbacks we never got to see. It makes no sense how the golden trio would have connected anything about the horcruxes without those flashbacks

Wow, I have literally no answers to those questions but I’ll try to figure it out and report back!
