Any Harry Potter fans out there ???? answer my question plzzzz...?

Question

I have three questions which go as follows...
1. How did Fred and George ever find out how the marauders map worked?? filch didnt know cuz he was a squib. and they wer wizards but snape was a wizard too and even he didnt know how the map worked.

2. In the last book Harry enters the room of reqrnmnts from the hogs head. But in the sixth book, Draco Malfoy leads the death eaters inside the same room from Borgin and Burkes (remember he went to the shop to get the vanishing cabinet fixed). How come???

3.If Dumbledore fought the battle against Grindelwald, how did he win it???? cuz Grindelwald possessed an "unbeatable" wand at the time didnt he???

Answer 1

1. Fred and George were the biggest trouble makers at hogwarts since the Marauders, so i dont think it would have taken them long to figure out how to work the map. besides "i solemnly swear that i am up to no good" is pretty much what fred and george were about. besides, Fred and George were very clever and prodigiously skilled wizards when they really wanted to be, so its not surprising that they figured out how to work the map. As for snape, he didnt think it was anything of magical significance. He just thought it was a piece of parchment bewitched to insult its reader, so he didnt think anything of it.

2. if you remember, the vanishing cabinet in the room of requirement had a sister cabinet, the one in Borgin and Burkes shop. How did draco find out, well remember when Fred and George shoved Montague, the slytherin quidditch captain, in the broken vanishing cabinet in "Order of the Phoneix"? Well its the very same vanishing cabinet that we see in Half Blood prince. Malfoy has it fixed so that it will work properly to transport people between the two cabinets.

3. Werent you paying attention to olivander, the wand is only as good as the wizard. The deathstick, the wand of destiny, the elder wand was thought of as the unbeatable wand, but throughout wizarding history it had to change hands in some way or another, so yes its master could be conquered by a more skilled wizard. yes the elder wand contains tremendous power, but the wand is only as good as the wizard that is master of the wand. if you remember the duel between dumbledore and grindlewald was the greatest duel of all time, but dumbledore must have outwitted him somehow. from what i gathered from the book, dumbledore was much cleverer than grindlewald because he received countless awards and orders of merlins, and he had even been offered the position as minister for magic. while grindlewald was a prodigiously skilled wizard, his schooling was incomplete because he was thrown out of durmstrang. grindlewald was a great wizard, but dumbledore was even greater.

Answer 2

1. How did Fred and George ever find out how the marauders map worked?? filch didnt know cuz he was a squib. and they wer wizards but snape was a wizard too and even he didnt know how the map worked.

- fred and george were troublemakers. chances are, that they eventually said at some point in time "i solemnly swear that i am up to no good". plus, there were pretty smart...



2. In the last book Harry enters the room of reqrnmnts from the hogs head. But in the sixth book, Draco Malfoy leads the death eaters inside the same room from Borgin and Burkes (remember he went to the shop to get the vanishing cabinet fixed). How come???

- i highly doubt that aberforth, the guy who owns hog's head, was going to let a bunch of death eaters use his bar as an entrance point to hogwarts.

- now if you're asking why draco just didn't ask for a tunnel from borgin and burkes to hogwarts, that's simple. knockturn alley, where borgin and burkes is located, is quite a way away from hogwarts. the journey would have taken forever, while the vanishing cabinents only took seconds.



3.If Dumbledore fought the battle against Grindelwald, how did he win it???? cuz Grindelwald possessed an "unbeatable" wand at the time didnt he???

- you gotta remember that while the objects were real, they weren't really invented by death. people put the term "unbeatable" on a wand that was just really powerful. so, grindewald had a really powerful wand, and he had some skill, but he was going up against dumbledore, the greatest wizard of the century! dumbledor won using pure skill.

Answer 3

1. How did Fred and George ever find out how the marauders map worked?? filch didnt know cuz he was a squib. and they wer wizards but snape was a wizard too and even he didnt know how the map worked.



A. Fred and George are clever Wizards, and took the time to experiment. Snape tried three times and then called for Lupin.



2. In the last book Harry enters the room of requirement from the hogs head. But in the sixth book, Draco Malfoy leads the death eaters inside the same room from Borgin and Burkes (remember he went to the shop to get the vanishing cabinet fixed). How come???



A. In HBP, the Vanishing Cabinet was located in the Room of Lost Things (part of the Room of Requirement), so that was where the Death Eaters appeared. In DH, a different version of the Room appeared, to suit the needs of the Resistance. When they needed food the Room produced the tunnel to the Hog's Head



3.If Dumbledore fought the battle against Grindelwald, how did he win it???? cuz Grindelwald possessed an "unbeatable" wand at the time didn't he???



A. You are putting too much stock into the "unbeatable" part of the the Wand. Since it had a long, bloody history, it stands to reason that, reputation aside, the Wand's owners do lose.



The original owner is said to have been murdered while passed out, Draco could disarm a weakened and poisoned Dumbledore,and Draco lost the wand be being physically disarmed by Harry. So, presumably, Dumbledore took advantage of some chance in the battle to disarm Grindelwald, winning the Wand.

Answer 4

1) Fred and George are bad, mischievous kids, but can be smart or clever when they want. They were more likely to figure out how to work a map like than than any sick-to-the-rules, ruler-straight professor. The Marauders (the ones who made it): Padfoot, Moony, Prongs, and Wormtail were bad, mischievous kids too, and made it so that only others of their kind could open/use it.



2) Neville was using the Room of Requirement as a hide out. As a part of that hideout, they needed food, which the room could not supply. It could only supply a passage to a safe place to get food without the Death Eaters finding them, and that place was the Hog's Head. As long as the Room was used that way, the passage would exist. Draco didn't use the room that way, so the passage wasn't there. He was using the Room as the place where the students all hid the things they weren't supposed to have, and the vanishing cabinet was in that room, but broken. Draco fixed it, and he got the Death Eaters to come in from the other cabinet at Borgin and Burkes. If the Room wasn't used in /that/ way, they wouldn't have been able to get in at the time. It all depends on how the Room of Requirement is being used at the time.



3)I think that Dumbledore was able to defeat Grindelwald because he didn't kill him. When most people duel in a real, major duel, they duel to the death, and in that way, the wand was unbeatable, because it wouldn't allow it's user to be killed. The wand could still pass hands in other ways, as it does when Draco gets it. Dumbledore disarmed Gridelwald, got the wand and became the new user of it. He never "beat" him, in the sense of killing him. That's my opinion, at least. The book was never really clear on it.



I hope I helped! These were good questions and really let me think about Harry Potter again. I love those books so much! Thanks for giving me the opportunity!

Answer 5

1. I think there are two pieces to this answer. First, Fred and George were very talented wizards of their own accord. And it is just like them to swear to a piece of paper that they are up to no good if it will help them at it. And that's where the second part comes in. I think that the marauders made hints to the twins until they figured it out. Remember that the mad was bewitched to be able to write things on it depending on who was using it, i.e. the way it insulted Snape. They would have wanted someone to be able to figure out the secret to continue on with their work, so they had to make it possible for someone to figure it out.

2. Draco didn't use a secret tunnel from Borgin and Burkes to bring the death eaters in. He used the two way vanishing cabinets. He spent all year trying to fix the one that was broken in the Room of Requirements.

3. Many men have had the wand and have died in battle with it. It was passed down through many many people. Read Tales of Beetle the Bard to better understand how the wand works, if the descriptions in the book didn't make sense to you.

Answer 6

1. Snape suspected that there was something wrong with it. Don't ever question Fred and George's work! They are brilliant. They could figure out anything.

2. Draco used the Vanishing Cabinets. There was one in the Room of Requirement and there was one in Borgin and Burkes so he figured out there was a connection between them so people could enter through it. The one in Deathly Hallows, Harry, Ron, Hermione etc. entered through Ariana's portrait.

3. Well that's the flaw of the Elder Wand isn't it? You need to defeat the owner to earn it. So it really isn't unbeatable. I believe it just brings the owner confidence but the wand actually has amazing powers because it fixed Harry's wand when the damage was beyond repair.

Answer 7

1. The map was originally designed only to work for those who had a "naughty" mindset. That's the only way Fred and George could've stumbled on the code words.

2. Draco didn't know about the Hogs Head entrance. He decided to use the vanishing cabinets because it was his best idea. That's all.

3. A wand is only unbeatable if you use it correctly, I'm thinking. When Rita Skeeter posits that Grindelwald might have let Dumbledore have it, she may not have been wrong. Either Dumbledore was more skilled (which he said he was) or Grindelwald was sick of having the wand (possible), or he wanted Dumbledore to have it to help alleviate the guilt he'd borne all those years about Dumbledore's sister.

Answer 8

1. Well, everyone knows that Fred and George are really smart, so they probably figured it out by themselves. Maybe they tried saying things that they would've said if they made a secret piece of parchment. xD



2. Well, Malfoy didn't know that there was a secret passage from the Hog's Head (remember, even the Map doesn't show it), so he used the Vanishing Cabinet and it's twin to get to RoR.



3. Well, the Elder Wand, isn't really "Unbeatable" it's more of a thing to say. I mean, it's definitely stronger than a normal wand, but it can be beaten, and we all know how great of a wizard Dumbledore really is.

Answer 9

1. Fred and George tinkered with it until they found out how to use it.



2. The RoR let a path form between the Hog's Head and Hogwarts because they were determined to protect the students and the world. Draco needed the Vanishing Cabinets because they wanted to harm the students and the world.



3. The wand may be unbeatable, but the wizard is not.

Answer 10

1. They took their best guesses. Snape assumed that it was made by the four (James Potter, Sirius Black, Remus Lupin, and Peter Pettigrew) simply to taunt him when they left school or something, so he didn't bother to explore more.



2. Draco Malfoy did not know about the secret passageway from the Hog's Head. It was also easier to get inside the pub than Borgin and Burke's if you were not siding with Death Eaters.



3. I think the wand may have had something like a conscience? And besides, I think Dumbledore may have disarmed him. Although that is cowardly in a wizard's duel, Dumbledore was looking to save the Wizarding world.



Hope this helps!

Answer 11

1. I think that the map passed to the troublemakers of the school secretly. Harry got it from Fred & Goerge who told him how to open it, may be Fred & George would've got it from someelse else who knew the incantation to open it. It could've passed like that for ages, since The real Mauderers gave it to somebody.



2. There are 7 secret passage ways to Hogwarts. Harry used one and Draco used another. What Harry used was the secret passage behind the portrait of Ariana in Hogshead, and what Draco used was the Vanishing cabinet which was btw Borgin & Burke's and Room of Requirement. And also keep in mind that Room of Reqiurement changes according to the user's wish.



3. I think that Dumbledore disn't beat Grindelwald, but Grindelwald surrendered. We know that he was in a path of remorse in his last days. Maybe he just surrendered to his old frnd after that duel and thus the ownership of the wand passed to Dumbledore.



- AthulY!A -

Answer 12

1. Fred and George are said to be really clever so surely they can work it out for themselves. Plus, "I solemnly that I am up to no good" is practically their motto.

2. a) because Harry, Hermione and Ron were in Hogsmede at the time anyway and there were several passageways to the castle and the portrait of Ariana was one that hadn't been found by the Marauders (b) Being Harry Potter and all, going into Borgin and Burkes-which is practically a Death Eater Hangout-is asking for a death sentence and (c) The Room of Requirement changes all the time remember? And the Vanishing Cabinet appears with all the other Hidden Things, while the Portrait Hole leads directly to the DA room or (in the case of Deathly Hallows) a Hidout.

3. Because the Elder wand isn't unbeatable, thousands of wizards before Grindelwald had died while having the wand, Dumbledore merely killed Grindlewald in a duel and took the wand. Simple.

Answer 13

Fred and George had instincts when it came to making trouble and i'm sure thats how they figured it out.

there are many different ways into the room of requirement, depending on where you require to go, the vanishing cabinet only led into the room of requirement because thats where it was at the time, of it hadnt been in there they wouldnt have been able to get in.

Grindelwald never defeated Gregorovitch, he only stole the wad from him, so it wouldnt be 'unbeatable' for him, it was very powerful however because Grindelwald himself was very powerful.

Answer 14

Aaah too hard to choose. 1. James Potter/Sirius Black 2. Fred/Ron Weasley

Answer 15

1. They figured it out. And Snape thought it was just to make fun of him. Remus saved Harry from a detention that time.

2. They used the vanishing cabinet to get there.

3. Dumbledore won and took the the Elder Wand from Grindelwald.

Answer 16

Fred and George are natural trouble makers they just know that kind of stuff.....





idk.. the rest.. i just started cause my friend made me but.. why does it matter.. they are great books enjoy them dont pick them apart.. if you want to pick a book apart pick apart twilight there are soo many mistakes in that book.

Answer 17

They could have just randomly said, Im up to no good, because they always are up to no good.



If Death Eaters were in Hogsmead, how would you think people will re-act. Or maybe Dumbledore protected it like hogwarts.



He could have just stole it, or a simple disarming spell, its only unbeatable if you use spells.



Hope I help.
