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 !...

tolkiens legendarium - Difference between elves and dwarves blacksmithing in the Lord of the Rings

Both the elves and the dwarves were famous for their metal work in the Lord of the Rings trilogy, but what is the difference between what they made, and which one had the better skill of making amours and swords? Answer James Christopher's answer sums up the second part of your question well, but as to the difference in what they made, a little more detail is needed. Once the Elves learned to forge with steel, the shape of the sword changed, now being able to take on the form of a great broadsword or a light and agile curved sword. Additionally, they took great pride in decorating their swords. As we see in the Lord of the Rings , some swords like Sting had magical properties such as glowing blue when orcs are near. As far as the use of Mithril, lotr.wikia has two contradictory passages: Thus, Elven blades became renowned as great weapons, capable of performing deeds beyond the skill of their handlers and were even more glorious when the use of Mithril was allowed to the Elves. ...

Is there any mention in the books that Syrio actually dies?
