I only ever read one of these books, but I was wondering – why didn’t imposter Moody give Harry a portkey on some quiet prearranged day in his office at the start of term? Why make the dude wait until June and make the most melodramatic portkey possible? And if portkeys work (or fireplace travel to go home on christmas) why have a train? And when the spells reversed in the graveyard, why didnt the horcrux spell from killing the riddles emerge too?
Ps that last question came from the person looking over my shoulder.
