Title: How can that be?
Post by: Minimy on October 13, 2006, 07:19:27 PM
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.

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!!

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
Title: Re: How can that be?
Post by: bonnie88 on March 7, 2008, 06:12:02 AM
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..

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)

Title: Re: How can that be?
Post by: dobby888 on May 11, 2008, 06:31:42 AM
Either do I, but maybe he saw someone die in the middle of say his 5th year and then could see them his sixth!
Title: Re: How can that be?
Post by: bonnie88 on May 12, 2008, 08:01:39 AM

Post by: dobby888 on June 5, 2008, 01:40:13 AM

Title: Re: How can that be?
Post by: bonnie88 on June 17, 2008, 12:40:07 AM

Title: Re: How can that be?
Post by: dobby888 on June 20, 2008, 05:25:18 AM
Yeah because I always think of the perfect thing to say after the time passed... maybe that's what happened to JKR.
Title: Re: How can that be?
Post by: bonnie88 on June 20, 2008, 05:53:54 AM

Title: Re: How can that be?
Post by: dobby888 on June 26, 2008, 11:33:31 PM

Title: Re: How can that be?
Post by: bonnie88 on July 7, 2008, 06:22:36 AM

Title: Re: How can that be?
Post by: dobby888 on August 5, 2008, 12:34:41 AM
