Why doesn't anyone suggest       > comparing the name on the entry form to Harry's handwriting?              I think it would have been incriminating if the paper had had Harry’s       handwriting on it, but it wouldn’t have proved his innocence if the writing       *hadn’t* been his. If he was willing to have another student drop his name       into the Goblet then it stands to reason that he wouldn’t have minded       getting another student--that same older student or a third one--to write       his name on the paper.              Was it ever mentioned whether a Quick-Quotes Quill uses the handwriting of       its user or whether it has a script of its own? In the latter case--and       assuming there’s a non-Quick-Quotes version that just transcribes things       straight--then that would be another option for wizards who want to write       anonymously.              (On this topic, I’ve always thought it was odd that the book never mentioned       the name of the fake school for which Crouch Jr. submitted Harry as a       champion. Like, there was something written on that paper other than “Harry       Potter,” and we were just never told what it was? Rowling could have at       least put in a Latin pun or some kind of red herring.)              Benjamin              --- SoupGate-Win32 v1.05        * Origin: you cannot sedate... all the things you hate (1:229/2)    |
