In book five, Harry can see the horse-looking anamals that pulls the vagon to Hogwarts. why can't he see them all the time? one can see them when they have seen somebody died. and he saw his mother die, then he should be able to them allready at his first year.. why can't he?
Some people say this is because he dosn't actually remember seeing his mother die.
it wouldn't make sence anyother way
That was the only reson I could come up with too.... Just thought some of you had a better idea about how it could be........ ;D
well, jk was asked about it shetold that the death should ' sink in'. i thoughtit meant affect deeply. :)

he was like one. he couldn't of remembered her dying he was too little ;D
he was only a yer old how many people on this site remember anything from when they were that young
yeah really, my first memory is from when i was 3!!
Well the main reason is that they have a different mean of transportation each year. The first year they used boats, the second year they used something else. They don't always use the horse things.
Yeah good point, so maybe they don't see the Horse things because they're getting on the boats, and plus, they're probably all so awed at the grandeur of the school that they don't notice them.
but when harry asked what was pulling the carts hermionie said nothing just like every other year, so they must have taken the carts every year before or she wouln't have said that, Right? :-*
You're forgetting the fact that Hermione is a complete mastermind, so she probably knew this before she even went to the school!!
Very true I mean if theres anyone you would like count on to know something before they even saw it it would be Hermione
This is most definitley true.
I would love to play her I am sooooo emvious of Emma Watson

no in the 1st yr they took boats and i think that him not knoing his mom and not caring about her at that time cause he prolly didnt understand what happend and in the fourth movie credic dies and harry kinda cared for him in a friend kinda way
J K Rowling probably thought it up while she wrote the 5th book. Harry may have actually looked away when Lily died, so that could be another reason. ;D
maybe its just because j.k. didn't feel like explaining all of that or didn't know she was going to put that in the 5th book while she was writing the other ones. just my opinion
now I think of it, i think i remember something about harry not taking the "normal" way to school for some years.. the 2nd year he was with Ron in there car, flying.... cant remember how he got to the school in the 3rd year and most of the other years?.. hm... maybe he hasn't had a chance to see the thestrals before?... just a thought..
wow i didn't even think of that. and people think i am smrte... what r is a vowel right?
no a e i o u are vowels... lol wow you didn't know what the vowels were
no just kiddin, but english is my worst subject.

In his 3rd year, Harry took the train, I forgot his 4th year, and i think he took the train for his 5th and 6th years. ( In his 7th year, he didn't go to school)
yea unanswered questions bother me, i have no idea how it worked out
Either do I, but maybe he saw someone die in the middle of say his 5th year and then could see them his sixth!
well i know he saw cedric die in his fourth year, but i don't know about the fifth
or maybe JKR just thought of it for the one book!!!
very possible... very possible
Yeah because I always think of the perfect thing to say after the time passed... maybe that's what happened to JKR.
i never find the right thing to say until i think about it three days later
HAHA! Is it always three days?
i have no idea i just picked a random number of days!
Oh ok... I normally think of it about an hour later... sometimes only minutes!!
