Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone - Chapter 16


Petrificus Totalus


When Hermione uses this spell on Neville, his arms and legs snap together and he falls, stiff as a board. One thing I noticed is that in Book 6 when someone uses that same spell on Harry, his arms and legs don't snap together, he just freezes in the position he's in. I only noticed this inconsistency this time reading this book.



A Little Quiz

The Sorcerer's Stone is closely guarded by spells and enchantments set by several of the Hogwarts staff: Hagrid, Sprout, Flitwick, McGonagall, Quirell, Snape, and Dumbledore. Here is a little quiz. Without referencing the Potter series, who can tell me all the first names of the Hogwarts staff I just listed?



The First Big Twist

So, when Harry enters the final room, someone is already there. Not Snape, and not even Voldemort...

Quirinus?! That is too funny.

Quirinus? I'm pretty sure you made that up. As far as i know, Quirell's first name is never mentioned in the series. You were almost spot on with the rest. I'm even impressed you got all of Dumbledore's names in there. However, Flitwick's first name is Filius, not Phineas. His name is first mentioned at the end of Book 6.
