....I'm speechless.
Okay a couple things.
1. Yes the clones adnd Vader know where Hogwarts is. I know very much about the concealing spells. That and the whole anti-tech field Hermione mentions in Book 4 are not in play here. They aren't in play at all in the films anyway IIRC.
2. No magical creatures. I purposefully left things like Dementors and Giants out of this because they're kinda wanky.
3. Appirition must have a limit. Otherwise it's a no limits falllacy. Plus, just for fun, in Book 7 Voldemort has to fly to get to a spot so he's close enough to appirate back to Malfoy Manor.
Finally, being a fan of Harry Potter is just fine. Even if the films do suck balls, the books ar egood.
