| May 9, 2018 at 17:34 | comment | added | syntonicC | I upvoted this answer because it makes sense. Just nitpicking but the definition of "skull" is the bone around the brain or the skeleton of an animal head. This implies that it had decayed to a skeleton. It's not clear from the quote if we are hearing Harry's interpretation or the "narrator". In the first case, Harry wasn't there so he could be wrong. In the second case it's written in 3rd person omniscient so it could be correct. But you are right that Ron and Hermione do not describe the state of the basilisk. | |

| May 9, 2018 at 7:09 | comment | added | anon | FWIW, decaying things do look gross. It's not at all unreasonably to take a little poetic license and make it a skeleton instead of a body, like you said. | |
| May 8, 2018 at 19:31 | comment | added | Pryftan | @FezVrasta With that logic there's not a single point for any question here to do with Harry Potter; and as such it's ridiculous to suggest that it's a valid statement at all. Your comment isn't at all a summary of the answer from Miss Bella (well done as usual!); on the contrary she's pointing out how it's not even described in the book but also screen effect as one possible reason. Neither of those have anything to do with 'magic'. | |
