Oculus Reparo is a stupid spell

There already is Reparo, which is used to repair everything. Why is there a specific version for just glasses? And even then, Oculus means eye, not glasses, so it could just fix Harry's near-sightedness immediately. There are spells that can fix up the human body (see Lockards Brackium Emendo to fix Harry's broken arm or Vulnera Sanentur, although that's more of a counter-curse)

Harry goes 6 years without ever cleaning out his school trunk.

Just rereading the 7th book and Harry states he has never cleaned out his school trunk since he packed it as an 11 year old just “skimmed off the top”.

This one caught me off guard how fucking nasty is that. 6 years of a teenage boy going through puberty, playing quidditch, food etc. It must smell awful.

That is all.

Hoping they go more in depth with Slytherin house on the show

The Slytherin common room is hidden deep within the dungeons of Hogwarts, positioned below ground level near the Black Lake. It is not a place you can easily find or access, as the entrance is concealed behind a stretch of stone wall that only reveals itself when the correct password is spoken.

Unlike the other houses, its location immediately sets it apart. It is secluded, well protected, and بعيد from the usual movement and noise of the castle.

The design of the room is unmistakable. Shades of green and silver dominate the space, while dim lighting creates a darker, more serious atmosphere. The furniture is crafted from dark wood with refined details, giving the entire room a more elegant and restrained look compared to the other common rooms.

One of its most fascinating features is its connection to the Black Lake. The windows allow filtered light from the water to enter, casting shifting patterns across the room. At times, silhouettes of creatures can be seen passing by, creating the eerie feeling that the room exists almost beneath the surface of the lake itself, a detail that was never truly shown in the films.

The movies barely explored this space, which is why many fans are unaware of what it actually looks like. In the books, however, the Slytherin common room perfectly represents the house itself: quiet, guarded, visually distinct, and placed in a strategically hidden part of Hogwarts.

Dumbledore or any other teacher not being able to tell that Moody was an imposter is the most unbelievable thing for me

apparently Dumbledore was supposed to be his friend

they fought together against the dark arts in the first war

Sure he could get info out of moody but that wasn't in realtime. You're telling me no one in any conversation suspected that this person doesn't have all the knowledge? come on

And it's not just about having all the information. The mannerisms the way of walking the way of talking everything that makes a person unique is not easy to do. And we have no reason to believe that Barty crouch Jr was some sort of mastermind or impressionist that he was able to pull this off.

maybe if you told me that he was known for copying people using the poly juice portion and that was his reason for being sent to Azkaban then maybe yeah. but he was just a death eater.

If a child were born with great talent for Occlumency and used it constantly, which house would the Sorting Hat not be able to read their mind for?

Although magic requires study and training, some wizards have a talent for a specific specialty. An example of this would be Queenie Goldstein, who uses Legilimency (reading the thoughts of others) since she was a child without training or being able to control or turn it off.

If a child were to experience the same with Occlumency (preventing others from reading their mind), what would happen during the Sorting Ceremony?

Besides, if a student arrives late to the Sorting Ceremony or there are more students from one house than another, what would the teachers do?
