to really answer ur question, id have to reread goblet, which is, back home right now, under lock and key and extreme security should any kind of catastrophe ever fall on leyte (heaven forbid kay wala na taw'n ko ulian!).
so, si mad eye moody or alastor, he was an auror, he was eccentric, and a paranoid one at that! si barty crouch nga alagad man to ni voldemort, diba, so basin lagi gtagaan sya'g insider info ni lord voldy-thing para ma capture niya si alastor!
but well...yeah. inconsistencies happen in life man, jiggs oi. let us allow it to occur in fiction pud. haha.
it was only a minor anomaly naman.
avrilrockz: bitaw, kay pansin nako, wala gyud mention bisag asa, bisag kinsa, anywhere in the HP books ang notion of a religious deity. god if you will. but they do celebrate christmas, which we will assume, nga naay religion ang book--christians pa--because they celebrate nativity.
what it hought as lacking was a deeper treatment on the notion of religion in the magical community, kay apart from christmas, wala nay laing mention about religion anywhere in the books.
but since not all books should present a "MORAL LESSON" (god i hate tht phrase..so sanctimoniously stupid), there you are. harry potter is a magical romp abi pa sa mga reviewers, and its plain *****ic to place upon it the burdens of educating and preaching, especially on theology. maybe, rowling (or her editor) is scared of alienating a large audience too, if she specified a certain religion in her books--the muslims og uban pang denominations. but it has been getting along fine without it anyway, since the readers do not expect Harry Potter to expound on theology afterall.
Kasi sikat and very well-read, detractors are looking for GOD in the book. In the first place. it is not intended to be a Bible story thing, no offense to religion whatsoever.
Diba? diba
