    The function of a rubber duck, as said on Google is: "With their bright color, smooth texture, and (for some) squeaky or quacky sounds, rubber ducks sharpen toddlers' senses. Their presence in the bathtub soothes youngsters' fears of water and water immersion and makes good clean fun of the routine hygiene they're learning."

      Actually my theory is that the government only the government knew abt wizards and their secrets so they took him to a private hospital where muggles go when they get cursed or in this case a piggy tail. Idk but I just can’t up with it bc this can’t be the only time muggles got cursed or something by a wizard.

He managed to make a high enough wage to house, feed, and clothe a family of 9, and still have some money to put into personal interests of his family, and allow his wife to be a stay at home mother. Sure, the clothes were second hand and the interests were lower cost stuff, but even in the wizarding world, a large family costs a lot of money. If they had had one or two kids, they likely would have been relatively well off. Not Malfoy level, definitely, but still middle class. Plus he works in a job he absolutely loves, so I'm not sure he would ever use the dirt he's got on his co-workers to ever get a position away from doing it.

      He didn't make fun of them for being high up seats. Those were the exact seats the Malfoys also sat in. He made fun of him for being poor and that their house is so worthless there's no way he'd get enough money to afford top box seats by selling it.

      @@survivordave I respectfully disagree. Firstly, I’m referring to Malfoy senior. Whom says after Ron asks “dad how high up are we?” Malfoy senior says “well put it this way, if it rains you’ll be the first to know”. I don’t think there’s any other way to take that comment other than Malfoy is insulting them for having bad seats and being poor. It’s pretty commonly known in the real word that seats way up high are the cheap seats, but in quidditch one would think it would be the opposite. The higher up you are the better you can see.

      @@kevind6723 That dialogue from Lucius Malfoy must have been exclusive to the movie because it certainly wasn't in the books. I was referring to the dialogue from the book. I've only watched each movie once but have read through each of the books a dozen or more times, so I'm quite certain I'm describing the book scene accurately. In the books the Weasleys, Harry, etc are up in the Top Box with the Malfoys, the British and Bulgarian Ministers of Magic, and Ludo who was doing the commentating. The movies must have changed it to be more realistic to the Weasley's poverty (although in the book the tickets to the top box were a gift from Ludo to repay a favor Mr Weasley did for him, not that Mr Weasley had to pay for them)

I was referring to the movies and you were talking about the books. No biggie. I’ve read the books a bunch. And they make a lot more sense than the movies do. The movies have a lot of weird inconsistencies, from little stuff like I was just referring to, and to kind of big stuff like Dumbledore hunting for horcruxes before he even knew that Voldemort had created them. In the book he wants to know how many he created, but in the movie he doesn’t even know that he created them yet he’s been hunting for them for over a year. It doesn’t sense.

    Theory: is there a dark story behind professor binns teaching history after his death? They portray it in the books as if he’s just really dedicated or something, but to my knowledge he’s the only ghost who is doing labor for the sake of people in the living realm. Also I think that there are a lot of preparations a wizard needs to make to become a ghost, and it seems odd to make those preparations just to keep working beyond his own death. Is there any chance that binns is continuing to teach because he has been cursed in some way? And if so, who might have done it?

      Also, I had the Blalock-Taussig Shunt. I was born without several parts of my heart which caused me to be a “blue baby.” They had to do the Blalock-Taussig Shunt to get oxygenated blood to my body before they even attempted to “fix” my heart. That surgery gave me the six months I needed to get to the next surgery, which gave me the 8 months I needed to get to my final surgery. My doctor actually had Dr. Blalock on the phone while doing my surgery. According to my mom, the movie is extremely accurate in how the surgery works and the experience for the parents.

      And yet it is well known that "absolute power corrupts absolutely". You could argue that it's the fear of losing said power that causes the corruption. But in that case you will have to accept that said fear would not exist without the power and thus the power is still the source of the corruption.

    The rubber duck was invented for bathtub orientation. Imagine diving into your bathtub and losing a sense of where up and down is, everything is white around you from the tub itself and from the bubblebath you are using (always) so you are about to drown but then, out of the corner of your eyes you see a small yellow fleck, a shining beacon in a world full of mist, you swim towards it, your vision becomes blurred and you are about to faint but all of a sudden you feel air fill your lungs and a cool breeze hit your face. You are alive and safe and all thanks to your trusty rubber ducky.
