[QUOTE="Crothian, post: 497016, member: 232"] 1) Why would Harry even think about going back to those horrible people during the summer? >>>They are his legal guardians and that is where he has to go, it's the law. 2) Why did Dobby go WAY out of his way to 'protect' Harry? >>>Probably because Harry is the star of the books. It could also be because Harry fended of Voldemort. The Malfroy's have a connection with Voldemort and Dobby could very well know about it. 3) The afore-mentioned flying car in front of the train scene. >>>Completely ridiculous and should have been left on the cutting room floor. 4) It was jarring to have the Tree they smashed into be such a menace. Why would they allow these things on the schoolgrounds if they would kill the kids that go there? >>>It's safely away from anywhere the kids would need to go. Hogwarts is not a 100% safe place as is shown all the time. 7) The Powers That Be never knew that TomRiddle (their own student) grew up to be Voldemort? >>>Yes, they know Tom Riddle becomes Voldmort. It is not common knowledge, but Dumbledor knows, and probably other teachers as well. 8) They never thought to look at the big piece of paper crumpled up in Hermione's hand?! >>>They were more concerned in her safety. They probably never saw it. 10) Harry and Ron were uncharacteristically aggressive with Lockhart. They actually pushed a grown adult male BACK? Then pushed him down the open well that they didn't know what the bottom was? Further, WHY would Lockhart have been frightened in any way by being 'guarded' by Ron Weasely and his broken wand pointing at him? >>>It was shown from the beginning that neither kid trusted or liked Lockhart. When they learned he was a fraud they lost all respect for him and since he was going to leave the Weasley daughter die. AS for why he was scared of Ron, Lockhart did not know Ron's wand was broken. Further, in the movie it shows the kids have spell knowledge that can disable even a full grown Wizard. 11) The Chamber of Secrets scene: >>>It's a kids book and a kids a movie. Simple solutions are called for. It was at least set up from early on that the Phoenix would help out and be able to heal. 12) This whole concept of Voldemort creating a diary which "contains his 16 year old self" is problematic. >>>Convenient plot device and it is all better explained in the book.
