| Jun 26, 2019 at 1:53 | comment | added | Adamant | Nor had Vanishing spells, most likely. Both aren't mentioned until later. But one fits much better and is the official explanation. | |
| Jun 26, 2019 at 1:52 | comment | added | Alex | @Adamant I would think that "they were found months later" would be a more accurate description than "they turned up months later" if that were the case. But, hey, portkeys probably hadn't been invented yet when Philosopher's Stone was written. | |
| Jun 26, 2019 at 1:40 | comment | added | Adamant | Anyway the answers to the other question materially encompass this one, and they're basically the same. I don't think it should have been reopened. | |
| Jun 26, 2019 at 1:39 | comment | added | Adamant | I just checked the book, and it's explicitly mentioned to be a Portkey. I assume it takes months to find them. | |
| Jun 26, 2019 at 1:36 | comment | added | Alex | @Adamant If their brooms were portkeys it wouldn’t take them months to turn up there. | |
| Jun 26, 2019 at 1:35 | comment | added | Adamant | Sorry, but there's no capital V there in the first quote. I don't see any indication that it's the same spell. In fact, they might mention that it's due to turning their brooms into Portkeys in Quidditch Through the Ages. | |
| Jun 25, 2019 at 23:31 | comment | added | user112267 | +1 for that last quote but the rest doesn't really seem in-context for my question... | |
