| Mar 9, 2017 at 21:46 | comment | added | Daerdemandt | @TBear "What are in-universe explanations <question>" and "What are reasonable in-universe explanations <question>" are notably different questions. Why Gadsby doesn't contain characters with letter 'e' in name, e.g. 'Kevin'? | |

| Mar 7, 2017 at 14:25 | comment | added | anotherdave | @BrockAdams out of all the plot holes there might be, I'm pretty sure 'making something be able to float' probably isn't one of them — give her some credit. | |
| Mar 7, 2017 at 0:15 | comment | added | BlackThorn | Dude, it's fantasy. Obviously you are correct, but that is not the answer OP or anyone else is looking for. Go ahead and post it as an answer and you will quickly come to the same conclusion. | |
| Mar 7, 2017 at 0:11 | comment | added | Brock Adams | No, our job is to answer the question. The correct answer to this question is that the author didn't think of it. You can try to retcon some in-universe excuse later, but Occam's razor and plain common sense (and the author's own track record and admissions) put the lie to such malarkey. | |
| Mar 6, 2017 at 23:46 | comment | added | BlackThorn | @Brock JKR did have a bit of a learning curve, and there are some inconsistencies in HP, but our job here isn't to come crashing through the 4th wall and make comments about the author's weaknesses. Constructive comments make connections within the story as it stands and speculate about unwritten parts as if the story were true. Your comment is not helpful in this context. | |
| Mar 6, 2017 at 23:41 | comment | added | Brock Adams | "We (the audience) had never seen it", because JKR hadn't thought of it. The reason Colin wasn't levitated is because the author didn't think through that detail (and so many others). | |
| Mar 6, 2017 at 21:36 | comment | added | Azor Ahai -him- | This is mostly speculation, but I think it makes the most sense in universe. You don't know what magic hit him, maybe casting another spell on him will cause him to explode or something, like a booby trap. | |
