Surely if you’re sending someone on a 3000 year journey, you’ve prepared for the possibility of making a faster ship in the time between them leaving and arriving at their destination!?

I’m more surprised they didn’t try to corner the thieving and grifting market for their own.

No, it’s when the car is registered. If the plate was stolen and you requested a new one, you’d get the same registration number. The plate identifies the car, basically.

If you bought a car in 2000 and never registered it before 2025, then you’d get a 251 plate. But you wouldn’t be able to drive it on public roads for those 25 years.

I think they’ve over corrected on the suits thing, wearing those tuxedos all the time is probably overkill.

A spokeswoman for Science Foundation Ireland (SFI) said that when Irish researchers collaborate with the US, the Irish side of the project is usually funded directly by SFI with the US picking up the tab for their side.

That sounds good. How do SFI get their funding? Irish government?

I think there’s a bit in the first book where Harry says his parents were shot, and Hagrid laughs and says no muggle gun could have killed them.

But like, why not? It’s never explained. I’m sure if they survived being shot, magic medicine would sort them out pretty quickly. But there’s no reassign to think a gun couldn’t kill them. Wizards struggle to react fast enough to block spell s most of the time, and bullets seem to move faster than that.

I think the hardest part would be successfully ambushing Voldy, but no reason to think a gun wouldn’t fuck him up if you can hit him.
