   What about Harry not being able to see the thestrals?   
      
   You see someone die, you see thestrals. Great. Then why can¢t Harry   
   see thestrals in the carriages on the way to Hogwarts in the first   
   two books? He saw his mother die. Seeing Cedric Diggory die in Goblet   
   of Fire shouldn¢t have been any different.   
      
   Rowling explained this away by saying the only people who could see   
   thestrals were those who had internalized and accepted the death they   
   directly witnessed. Harry was a baby when his parents died so he   
   wasn¢t fully aware of it in the way he was of Cedric¢s death. Then why   
   did it take months for Harry to see thestrals after Cedric¢s death? Is   
   it because he had to process it and accept it? Hasn¢t he done the same   
   for his parents¢ deaths? What¢s the time limit on processing before   
   you see thestrals?   
      
   Bullshit, Rowling.
