Chamber of Conspiracy Theories
Dec. 13th, 2017 07:10 pmI swear, I don't go looking for conspiracies in the Harry Potter books, or dastardly plots concocted by Dumbledore. And I'm sure that mostly, Rowling just didn't realize some of the problems caused by failing to keep track of who knows what when. But looking at things Watsonianly, a lot of things just don't add up without something extremely dodgy going down in the background.
Case in point: basically everything in Chamber of Secrets. I know many people have talked about how the questions of what exactly Dobby knows about the "dangerous plot," how he knows it, what Lucius Malfoy actually knows and intends, and basically everything else connected to the Diary deployment and Dobby trying to keep Harry out of Hogwarts get harder to explain the more you examine them, so I'll pass over that particular subplot. There's still plenty to keep me busy.
( Dodgy theories ahoy! )
