Deathly Hallows Book Discussion **LoTs Of Spoilers** - Page 22

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.

..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.

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

So you thought you knew all the spoilers eh?

Well did you know....

When Dumbledour looks into the mirror of erised he sees himself reunited with his family

Luna marries the grandson of the great Newt Scamander and not Neville as I had hoped.

Dumbledore uses homenum revelio to "see" Harry under the cloak.

At the battle of Hogwarts, Neville does in fact call the sword of Gryffindor to help him via the sorting hat.

Ron makes it onto a chocolate frog card.

Etc...
