harry potter - Did Voldemort know what kind of plans Draco was making against Dumbledore?



Voldemort didn't expect Draco to succeed, so perhaps he had just assigned Draco to the task and let him do whatever he wanted
So most probably he didn't know about the cursed necklace nor the poison Draco sent to Professor Slughorn
However, at the end of the Half Blood Prince, Draco did manage to get top level Death Eaters such as Carrows and Bellatrix Lestrange, who seem to be very close to Voldemort, unseen into Hogwarts
Wouldn't Voldemort at least have been interested in knowing how Draco managed to do it?
If Voldemort knew about how Draco got Death Eathers into the school, it would have shown him immediately that the Room of Requirement can be and has been found by other people, and it wasn't just he who had found out about it
Would Voldemort really just ignore Draco's most significant attempt?



Answer




If Voldemort knew about how Draco got Death Eathers into the school, it would have shown him immediately that the Room of Requirement can be and has been found by other people, and it wasn't just he who had found out about it




First of all, to the best of my knowledge, there's no canon mention of Voldemort knowing about details of the plan, so the rest is purely speculation.


Having said that, Voldemort was a high level manager. Quite possibly, he would not have bothered with minor detail like "which room was the Vanishing Cabinet in", even if he - quite possibly - knew about the high level details of the plan like using the Cabinet.


Also, the Room of Requirement was different for everyone. A "store all your junk" storeroom that Voldemort likely saw may not have immediately associated with "room that had waterclosets" that Dumbledore found, with "Room to have the meetings in" that DA used. So Draco may very well have seen - and described - merely "A room where Vanishing Cabinet is stored" without realizing what that room was or mentioning any other things that would let someone else associate it with Room of Requirement.


Harry (and from him, DA) knew about the detailed properties of the room only because Dobby told him.

futurama - How much time is lost in 'Time Keeps on Slippin''

In time Keeps on Slippin' , Farnsworth creates a basketball team which he matures by abusing Chronitons. This leads to time skipping forward by random, but ever increasing amounts. How much time was skipped in this way? Answer Unfortunately, I don't think a good estimate can be made for this, for two reasons: Many of the time skips move forward by an indeterminate amount of time. At one point, the Professor mentions localized regions of space skipping forward much more than others. We then see two young boys on the street below complaining about having to pay social security, only to suddenly become senior citizens and start complaining about wanting their money. Thus, each individual could have experienced a different amount of time skippage.

harry potter - How could Expelliarmus beat Avada Kedavra?

I want to be very careful about how I ask this question – I am not asking How did Voldemort die? [CLOSED] Below the text is the relevant passages from Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows if anyone wants to review them (I'm sorry for the amount of text). How did Expelliarmus beat Avada Kedavra and kill Voldemort? I feel the reason Harry's Expelliarmus overpowered Voldemort's Avada Kedavra curse has to do with who was master of the Elder Wand and how the Elder Wand works. I've always had trouble understanding fully how the Elder Wand works, though. How much did the fact that Voldemort never truly won or mastered the Elder Wand factor into how Expelliarmus reacted to Avada Kedavra and caused Avada Kedavra to rebound and kill Voldemort? An answer based in book canon would be especially welcome, but any canon source really is fine. Harry heard the high voice shriek as he, too, yelled his best hope to the heavens, pointing Draco’s wand: ‘ Avada Kedavra !’ ‘ Expelliarmus !...

Is there good canon evidence for the "Nightmare Matrix"?

On the Matrix wiki, there's an article about the Nightmare Matrix which says: The Nightmare Matrix was the second prototype Matrix, designed by The Architect after the massive failure of the Paradise Matrix in the hope that human minds would more readily accept an imperfect world with suffering. Unlike the first version, this Matrix instituted a basic cause-and-effect programming and forcibly made those connected to it accept the program. Vamp Prime, a possible remnant of the Nightmare Matrix. It also featured programs that resembled mythical evil creatures in various human mythologies such as vampires, werewolves, zombies, aliens, etc. It also failed, but many of the programs who were designed for it survived deletion in exile. The Merovingian and his wife, Persephone may have had their roots in this version of the Matrix. Upon its failure, the Merovingian started a smuggling ring of programs and information to provide a haven for exiles that would last for 6 cycles in the final ...

story identification - Anime with a boy hiring a creature from a stone, meets a man named Dante and starts a journey to collect crystals

I am from India, this anime or animated series (I can't remember this was made by the Japan or other countries) was aired between 2009 and 2012 probably in Jetix/Disney XD (but I'm not sure). This anime starts with a boy (the main character, I forgot his name) who find a stone (or crystal like thing) in his dad's property, his dad was missing that time. Some day he accidentally hire a creature/monster from that stone. Other day some creature attack him and he was saved by his creature and the story begins. In his journey to solve the mystery he meets a middle aged man 'Dante' (probably that was the name; this is the only character name I can remember). He had also some stone. After that they meet with one girl and a women (one of the girls is same age with the main boy character and probably will become his partner as the story goes on). Another women probably Dante's partner. Four of them started their journey to collect all the stone/crystal. They are collecti...
