- This one had me wondering about the size of the wizarding world again. The Cup was attended by 100.000 people, the Ministry has enough people to spare 500 of them to build a stadium, etc ( ... )

- Though I have to wonder why Harry and Ron don't know about this stuff. Especially considering who Harry is and that he's come across Voldemort already. You'd think he'd be interested.i can actually understand harry not knowing, because he's been raised to not ask questions. i think if some questions did occur to him, he would probably be too lazy to look them up himself (lbr) and then he didn't ask anyone else bc tbh i don't think it was a very pressing concern for him before gof. he didn't have to know everything about voldemort, because as far as he was concerned, voldemort was something that was in his past. if anything, the questions he would ask would probably be about stuff his parents did in the order ( ... )

I agree on a certain level. Harry's upbringing definitely wouldn't make him the kind of person who feels free to ask all sorts of (painful) questions. And he's not the type to go searching through the library unless it's really urgent or necessary. I suppose he would rather focus on his parent's lives, preferably outside the war even. It might just be that he doesn't want to think about it all ( ... )
