While I agree that there are plotholes in HP in general, I find your examples lacking.


1. GoF spends the whole book not so subtly laying out how far the MoM had been infiltrated by Death Eaters. High up Death Eaters. That Voldemort could get in? Not really a huge leap of logic.

2. A portkey definitely seems more practical for transporting a large group simultaneously. Especially as Mr Weasley and Cedric's father must have been concerned about the risk of getting split up when Harry was with them. Also, I just really loved the imagery of the old boot.

3. We are constantly told that House Elves are the lowest of the low. Wizards are tracked. Seems logical to me that the ministry doesn't bother to track house elves

4. I can kind of see your point here. I guess you could argue that Harry didn't really witness it. He was a baby, he didn't have the mental faculties to understand what happened. Instinctively he may have been upset and scarred by it, but his cognitive faculties weren't developed enough for him to have 'witnessed death'.

hmm, what are some of the plotholes?

And the REALLY FUCKING OBVIOUS REASON--JKR was introducing the idea of portkeys to the reader to set up the big twist (well, one of them)--that the triwizard cup is a portkey.

Nearly all of these "plotholes" are easily explainable and most have been addressed by JKR. A much better one (although you can still work out several explanations) is--why didn't Barty Crouch just make Harry's pillowcase (or whatever) a portkey and get Harry to the graveyard that much sooner? Still, there's a reason--he wanted it to happen in the middle of the maze, so D-dore et al. wouldn't figure it out right away. Or maybe Voldemort wasn't ready for the "bring you back to life" spell yet.
