If nobody knew about their close call just after the wedding - and Hermione was powerful enough to make it so even Voldemort couldn't get information from them - then how else could it be known about? Some were in fact being tracked and word got out (maybe Potterwatch?). Although you do specify later but I think at that point the plot took a sharp turn didn't it? They were also more careful. | |

| May 21, 2014 at 0:16 | comment | added | DVK-on-Ahch-To | I'm with @alexwlchan. There is more likelyhood that Taboo simply wasn't stronger than Hogwarts' wards. And when Harry's heading out of the castle, even if Taboo worked, nobody else cared about catching another Order member - they were all IN Hogwarts! | |

| May 20, 2014 at 22:28 | comment | added | Slytherincess | @alexwlchan -- I'll look through DH, but I thought there was a part where Harry says Voldemort's name outside of the school ... maybe when he's talking to Neville about Nagini, on his way to the Forbidden Forest? I'll check. | |
| May 20, 2014 at 22:25 | comment | added | Slytherincess | @Zoredache -- If you think it wasn't disabled, by all means leave that as an answer. I'm asking the question because I don't know. If the spell was not disabled, I want to know that too. | |
| May 20, 2014 at 20:19 | comment | added | Zoredache | Why do you think it is broken or disabled? Taboo is a locater spell. It doesn't need to be disabled during the Battle of Hogwarts. The death eaters were attacking already, what would they do if when someone said Voldemort? Realize the enemy was in the castle they were attacking? After Harry was captured, what were they going to do when he said the name again? Harry was supposed to be held in relative safety until Voldemort arrived. | |

I’d guess the spell was lifted when he died, and it was the strong protections around Hogwarts that kept it out; not the lifting of the spell. | |
