▲ 340 ▼ Does Harry Potter only know fifth grade math? (leminal.space) submitted 2 years ago* (last edited 2 years ago) by CorrodedCranium@leminal.space to c/nostupidquestions@lemmy.world 162 comments fedilink hide all child comments He was abducted by Hagrid when he turned 11 so that would place him maybe around the fifth or sixth grade. I don't know if canonically there are math classes at Hogwarts. The thought came to while I was watching the anime Mashle. If you are into Harry Potter and One-Punch Man I'd recommend giving it a watch. Someone mentioned this community below; I wanted to highlight it. Small promotion for !harrypotter@literature.cafe

You now how often dark wizards do spells in the books to protect themselves against projectiles? Never. They never do a spell like that, so far as I know. permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 2 child comments replies: [–] Azzu@lemm.ee 7 points 2 years ago* (1 child) As far as I know, the Protego spell protects against physical forces. The reason no one uses projectiles (they certainly could catapult stuff around with spells as well) is probably because it's common knowledge that it does nothing. permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 2 child comments replies: [–] Thorny_Insight@lemm.ee 4 points 2 years ago (2 children) Bullets are pretty quick though.
