b/c harry didn't watch quirrel die....REMEMBER he woke up in the hospital wing. Dumbledore said SOMETHING LIKE THIS....."I had realized that I was in the wrong place and that where I needed to be was back at Hogwart's." I thought Harry fainted....b/c Dumbledore had taken the rock....... For all we know Quirrell is in Askaban.............. OR Dumbledore has him somewhere.........or Dumbledore finished the fight with Voldemort..........but I think he would be dead b/c he was burning...and stuff............
ALSO I remember somewhere in the books when they are talking about the DADA teachers and it goes something LIKE this.......
well who would want the job....1 dead, 1 in an assain assylum with a memory loss and the other is banned b/c he's a werewolf, and the other is in askaban for portraying Mad Eye Moody all year.
well u only see the thestrals if you see some1 die, so if harry saw quirrell die, then why does he only see them in his fifth year?
he would have seen them before!
and fred or george says the thing airangel sed and the only 1 that could be dead IS quirrell. in the movie harry makes quirel turn to like stone so to me he kills him, ill read the book more deeply to find out if its the same in the book or not
😕
i agree with airangel ✅ u could find her adress on mugglenet. whats does ema watson know? she was out with ron at the time. good thought though. but the movie makes him look dead. i don't know turning to stone then crumbling to little tiny pices and having a huge spirit shoot out of ur head and lookin like a pile of dust looks dead to me. or mabe its just me. 🤨 mabe jkrowling only thought about the thestrals when she was writtin the 5ht book and didn't catch her error. o well, in my opinion he is dead. and u have to undertsand why the person is dead be4 u can see them just like harry didn't see them when he firstcame because he was only1 when he saw his mum die. harry didn't understand why quirril was dead untill dd explained it too him and he was unconsious for lie 2 weeks so its a little late. ill shut up know
hey...also....in the book Harry didn't see him turn COMPLETELY into stone dust...he passed out.....and Quirrell was still struggling...so he wouldn't have seen thestrals.....dumbldore most likely finished him off...b/c when harry woke up...he was in the hospital...and dumbledore said the stone was destroyed......if the stone hadn't been destroyed then Quirrell would have been alive...MAYBE and voldemort would have THEN came into power! 😄
iv read the book , and dumbledore says that he died when voldemort left his body. so in the book he had already fainted and so he shouldnt see the thestrals. But in the movie quirrell is turned to stone (or whatever happens) and then voldemort leaves his body, while harry is ther watchin! and jk wouldnt have let them put it in if it was wrong so im confused!
Grr, you guys are ameteurs.
First of all, a lot, a LOT, in the movies are wrong. Harry has green eyes and JKR totally allowed Dan to have grey eyes in the film.
Have you never thought of this? Harry saw his parents die back when he was a baby, wouldn't he be able to see the Thestrals ever since? And what about Cedric? He saw Cedric die with his own eyes, wouldn't he see the Thestrals on the way home after 4th year?
And here I am with all the answers. JKR said in many interviews, online and on TV, that death has to "sink in" in order to see Thestrals. I guess Harry was a baby and didn't realise what was going on during his parents' deaths so it didn't "sink in". He also didn't see Thestrals during the way home after 4th year becuz it still had never "sunk in". But after the summer, he'd finally acknowledged what had happened to Cedric, he saw them.
Russ mathers, PLEASE read all the HP books.
It's true that Emma hasn't read the 5th book, and I hate that! They're in the movies, making millions, yet they haven't even read em. YOU KNOW WHAT SUCKS!?! Tom Felton hasn't read any. ANY. And he refuses to. He says his lines directly from the strict. What's sad is...he's the best HP character of the lot!
Oh, as for Quirrel, yes he did die. Like someone mentioned before, Fred said "1 dead, one's memory wiped, 1 in Azkaban, and 1 retired/banned."
And no, Harry had never seen Quirrel die so he didn't see the Thestrals in second year.
Sigh. You're all welcome.
