only in this case staff and students can leave at any moment... but are they gonna XDD
There is nothing shameful in polishing your own wand! looool i always thought this line came from fandom - how wrong i was
This means that paraseltongue is not default way of handling those creatures. truebthat - i never thought of that loophole
Darn, usually I don't like movie adaptations, but CoS movie did good job with aesthetics in this part of the book. Or at very least better job than Jo. i think that is especially true for book 2 and 3 - because there the movies really have so much more of everything ....
yay for another chapter this soon - have a nice weekend; mine already looks brighter

Oh, it is line from fandom, in my posts bolded text is usually a quote. But then again I seem to recall there being a scene in GOF where Ollivander praises Cedric for keeping his wand polished...
I can't speak much about PoA movie since it has been years since the last time I watched it, but in CoS movie cinematic reflects very well how atmosphere at Hogwarts should look during this book :)
There is so much wrong in the last two chapters that right now I'm struggling with keeping word count of my posts down. A good chunk of it tends to be focused on Tom's plans and Basilisk. A goggles idea is neat, but I would even accept classic mirror-shield or even towel wrapped around the handler's head. But then again, if you can't command Basilisk to, for example, close their eyes, you need some way of both being protected from it's sight and be capable of observing it.
Sure, Harry would do that only if he was desperate or as I suggested possibly to get rid of Snape (after all he hates him more than Voldemort). The thing is, if Rowling wrote her books well, Harry should be desperate hereGinny according to Jo is supposed to be future Mrs. Potter and currently is sister of Harry's best friend. Because Jo passed over perfect occasion to start setting up their future romance, Harry doesn't feel much distress over the situation (other than worrying about being sent back to his muggle family, that is

Hey, now here's a test they could do: divide the student body into as many parts as they can, then set them all up in different undisclosed locations as tutoring groups to finish the year. (They'd have to hire temp staff, of course.) If the Heir of Slytherin can't restrain themselves from attacking students even without their beloved monster, they've at least narrowed down their list of possible culprits. If the Heir of Slytherin is smart enough to keep their head down, at least they have lots of time for the Auror Department and maybe the Gringotts cursebreakers if the goblins will hire them out for a few weeks to search the castle without worrying about students getting hurt. These efforts would probably fail, but someone at least should have suggested it even if only to get shot down.
Also McGonagall is either insane or used to be the most incompetent law enforcer in history of law enforcing.Sleep deprivation, I'm telling you. She hasn't had more than four hours of sleep a night since 1959. That's bound to affect one's mental

The test is either a good way to find the culprit or (considering how incompetent and overworked the staff is) great way to drastically reduce Hogwarts’ student population. Either way it’s still preferable to what Minnie came up with

I wouldn't be surprised if at some point Jo switched villains (just like in PS) because Lockhart seemed to be too obvious choice. It would explain why there is so many shenanigans concerning memory while local memory charms expert isn't involved.
It seems to be very wasteful to use this kind of technology for plumbing. Benches jumping out of the way are short term use of magic so depending on how this magic works could drain the energy source less than continuous usage. Same goes for wizarding tents- most of people use them only occasionally. Though in both examples artefact running out of energy would be disastrous. Now depending on how this magic works, it could be hard to maintain a plumbing infrastructure using it... but perhaps that is the point? What if introduction of magical plumbing infrastructure added additional burden to already encumbered Hogwarts' systems and that is why so many dark creatures/artefacts can pass through wards

And none of the adults noticed it?!
Wouldn't competent adults have checked? Well of course no adult is allowed to be competent.
