Hmmm, I'll buy that. Perhaps Harry's requirement being, well, really required was a key.

I still contend that other people might have really really really needed to find something that others have hidden, and that there's no big logical leap needed to go from "what a great place for me to hide things" to "what a great hiding place."


From what I understand, the Room of Requirement does not make a moral judgment. If Harry needed the diadem tiara to destory Voldemort, I don't believe the "Room" fullfills that request with any more preference than if someone needs the tiara because it perfectly matches the gown they're wearing to the Yule Ball. ;)

See ! Didn't I swoon when I first met you ??? That proves it !

..but in DH Harry remembers the Tiara on the bust with the mop for hair- so he clearly saw more than an empty room to hide his items. He had seen the rest of it before.

Because, and I forget the specifics or even which book, he once before needed to see where everything was hidden, rather than just a place for him to hide one thing. I'm sure someone will fill in the details that I can't reall.

And maybe someone will fill in the holes in J.K. Rowling's rather tenuous logic and wizard-rules/world construction, hmmmm.


This is a gaping one .... so bring lots of disbelief suspension wire.

I just looked back in 6. When he has to hide the Potions book, he only says he needs a place to hide his book. When the Room opens, it's full of stuff and he hides it in a cabinet. To mark the place he hid it, he puts the tiara and wig on a bust on top of the cabinet.

Beat me to it ! :p :snap:

So who's the bigger dunderhead? Tom Riddle or J.K. Rowling??

Hmm. One's dead, the other's a kazillionaire. Do the math.
:D

So you thought you knew all the spoilers eh?

Well did you know....
