Hi Velvet_Pop,
It looks like your comment closely matches the famous quote:
"A common mistake that people make when trying to design something completely foolproof is to underestimate the ingenuity of complete fools." - Douglas Adams,

I dunno. I've lived for decades around stupid people. I don't think I'd last as long around weapons grade anthrax.

Solving a mystery doesn't change the fact that before it was solved it was a mystery.

Unsurprisingly, there’s a TVTropes for that:
https://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/UnspokenPlanGuarantee
> Admittedly, the reason for revealing only failed plans to the audience is obvious. There's no drama in something going wrong if no one knows what was supposed to happen. Conversely, where's the drama in seeing exactly what you were just told would happen? The only exception is when the plan is Crazy Enough to Work; when every bullet point could Go Horribly Wrong, then each success is a big, suspense-building deal. As a general rule of thumb, if things do go according to how the audience is told, you can expect that the characters are walking into a trap.

Reply to comment by MurtadhaPrince in Most people don’t know the closest they have been to dying by Mr_Pocket_
I was at a bar, on the back patio, you have to cross the patio from the bar to get to the bathrooms. I was walking back to the bar from the bathrooms, about halfway across the patio and a man with a revolver stepped out of the bar and began firing. Not directly at me per se, but I was alone out in the open, minus the skinny palm tree that I eventually got behind. He ran, we all hid behind the bar and everyone was ok. Once the police came and told us it was ok to come out, saw his body laying in the street out front. Crazy night.

An assemblage of words so gregariously at leisure within themselves that, one barely need raise an eyelid to read them.

There are various ones like when Sirius talks to Harry through the fireplace fire, also Owls, magical mirrors, and patronus charms can be enchanted with messages.

I thought that was obvious, I never caught the flu… until I had a child. They just cough and sneeze right into your face and then laugh when you freak out.

Gotta read the books, muggle electrical items don't work in the Wizarding world, he used the Elder wand to fix his original wand that got broken then returned the Elder wand with Dumbledore so when he dies the power of the wand dies with him, the Elder wand was created by Death himself so it would be incredibly hard to repair if at all.
Also they were Dementors not ghosts.

Just a point of pedantic correction: Enola Gay only dropped the bomb (Little Boy) on Hiroshima. Nagasaki (Fat Man) was Bockscar.
