Why can't Harry see the Thestrals before seeing Cedric die? If Harry has seen his mother die, as revealed in The Deathly Hallows, why couldn't he see the thestrals before The Order of the Phoenix (after he's seen Cedric Diggory die)?
Why couldn't Harry see Thestrals at the end of Goblet of Fire? Why couldn't Harry see Thestrals at the end of Goblet of Fire after the senseless and shocking death of Cedric Diggory?   At the end of Goblet of Fire, the carriages still appeared horseless to Harry:     Hermione turned away, smiling at the horseless carriages which were now trundling towards them up the drive, as Krum, looking surprised, but gratified, signed a fragment of   parchment for Ron.   Goblet of Fire - Page 629 - British Hardcover - Adult Edition   At the beginning of Order of the Phoenix, Harry sees the Thestrals for the first time:     Here stood the hundred or so horseless stagecoaches that always took the students above first year up to the castle. Harry glanced quickly at them, turned away to keep a lookout for Ron and Hermione, then did a double-take.   The coaches were no longer horseless. There were creatures standing between the carriage shafts.   Order of the Phoenix - Page 178 - British Hardcover - Adult Edition   We know that only those who have seen death can see Thestrals:     ‘Don’ worry, it won’ hurt yeh,’ said Hagrid patiently. ‘Righ’, now, who can tell me why some o’ yeh can see ’em an’ some can’t?’   Hermione raised her hand.   ‘Go on then,’ said Hagrid, beaming at her.   ‘The only people who can see Thestrals,’ she said, ‘are people who have seen death.’   ‘Tha’s exactly right,’ said Hagrid solemnly [...]   Order of the Phoenix - Page 394 - British Hardcover - Adult Edition   A month went by between Cedric's death and the end of the spring term -- is this enough time for Harry to have truly internalized Cedric's death? Goblet of Fire indicates that Harry was in shock following Cedric's murder, but was able to relate the story of Cedric's death to Mr. and Mrs. Diggory.     When he looked back, even a month later, Harry found he had few memories of the following days. It was as though he had been through too much to take in any more. The recollections he did have were very painful. The worst, perhaps, was the meeting with the Diggorys that took place the following morning.   [...]   ‘He suffered very little, then,’ she said, when Harry had told her how Cedric had died.'   Goblet of Fire - Page 621 - British Hardcover - Adult Edition   So, then, why couldn't Harry see Thestrals at the end of Goblet of Fire?
Consider a block cipher with a key of size 128 bits but a small block size, say 32 bits.  Is this kind of block cipher secure?  I would like to know to what extent I can use a small block cipher, like a 32 bit block cipher. What are the constraints so that the use is acceptable in a real life application.  For instance, if we use a one-time key, that is, to encrypt only one message. Besides, the message could be small.  Suppose that when we want so send one file, we perform a key agreement so that we use the key for one message. This scenario is not efficient, but the CPA find-then-guess game is not adequate in this case. Polygamma reflection formula Output for Print Is there a way to output for Print. I want to save in a higher DPI than the default 72dpi say 300dpi that's a good quality for printed pieces. I tried downloading an add-on but don't know if I am installing it correctly it isn't showing up but the bar in python is green. I'm using the 2.69 version of Blender. If no such feature exists what size have any of you found best for print quality. Thank you How do I get 0-padded numbers in {} (brace expansion)? I'm trying to write a simple script to retrieve mem and swap usage from a list of hosts. Currently the only way I've been able to achieve this is to write 3 seperate scripts:  for a in {1..9}; do echo "bvrprdsve00$a; $(ssh -q bvrprdsve00$a "echo \$(free -m|grep Mem|/bin/awk '{print \$4}';free -m|grep Swap|/bin/awk '{print \$4}')")"; done &gt; /tmp/svemem.txt; for a in {10..99}; do echo "bvrprdsve0$a; $(ssh -q bvrprdsve0$a "echo \$(free -m|grep Mem|/bin/awk '{print \$4}';free -m|grep Swap|/bin/awk '{print \$4}')")"; done &gt;&gt; /tmp/svemem.txt; for a in {100..218}; do echo "bvrprdsve$a; $(ssh -q bvrprdsve$a "echo \$(free -m|grep Mem|/bin/awk '{print \$4}';free -m|grep Swap|/bin/awk '{print \$4}')")"; done &gt;&gt; /tmp/svemem.txt   The reason for this is that the hostname always ends in a 3 digit number and these hosts go from 001-218 so I've needed to do a different for loop for each set (001-009, 010-099, 100-218). Is there a way in which I can do this in one script instead of joining 3 together? I recently learned that I have developed a consistent, but entirely wrong approach to punctuating direct speech in fiction. I am in the unenviable position of trying to relearn.  Previously I wrote such things as:     "I'm done." She said.   when the quoted speech was definitely, absolutely the end of a sentence. So now I know I need.     "I'm done," she said.   This follows the rule that a period is only allowed when the end of the spoken sentence is also the end of the sentence in the narrative. For example:     "I'm done." She slammed the door on the way out.   So, it now looks odd to me when there are multiple sentences in the speech:     "I can't take her. I'm done," she said.   Can you reassure me that is correct, or give the correct form? Please don't suggest rewriting the sentence to put 'she said' in the middle - I'm aware of that: I'm specifically asking about the punctuation rules.  The other odd case is speech ending with an ellipsis. Do sentence terminating ellipses (four periods normally) become:     "I can't take her. You know, ...," she said, nodding towards Jane.   If so, are non-terminating ellipses dealt with the same way?     "I can't take ...," she nodded towards Jane, "any more!"   or can non-terminating ellipses be used unadorned?     "I can't take ..." she nodded towards Jane, "any more!"   I'd be very grateful if you could point me at references as well as answers. For the record I am a British writer writing for both British and US publication, so any variation is also interesting to me! What statistical test can I use to compare two ratios from two independent samples. The ratios are after to before results. I need to compare the after/before ratios for two independent models and show whether they are have significant difference or not. Please help! Do we want emojis in posts? I am looking for a canonical question and answer on this issue.   (see ) on  has prompted me to ask this question.        In all honesty I think we just don't need a comic strip to explain what a user is saying. Currently I edit out emoticons I see, but this post presents a whole new type of .... ? what I'm not sure.  Is there are community consensus on this either way?  These questions are related — but different:        Please try and answer sensibly (rolls eyes at the prospect of a flood of emojis in answers) — so we can actually have something that we can link to new users (or old users) when editing this stuff out — or (even worse), defending its existence. Find the remainder of $\dfrac{2^{2014}}{7}$   I am new to the modular arithmetic, Any suggestions to solve this question? If you want to buy a house but you also think value will drop… is there something you can do to alleviate the risk? Disclaimer: yours won't be fiscal advice. People involved will consult a professional before doing anything. This is just to gather some preliminary information.  Situation:   you want to buy a house or a flat, in UK you will get a mortgage in GBP, but you'd pay the down payment in EUR you think that there are fairly high chances that the value of houses in UK and GBP will drop the whole point of this question is actually buying the house/flat, renting is not an option by definition   What can you do to mitigate that risk? What determines how much experience I get from a hearthstone match in play mode? Sometimes I win handily and get a little experience, sometimes I squeak out a victory and get a lot.  How is experience earned? Two footnotes in a heading, only one is displayed at the end of the page I'm adding two footnotes to a section heading:  \documentclass{article} \usepackage[english]{babel} \usepackage[utf8]{inputenc} \usepackage[T1]{fontenc} \usepackage{lipsum}  \usepackage[stable]{footmisc}  \usepackage{titlesec}  \begin{document} \section{test \footnote{This is footnote no1.} \footnote{This is footnote no2.} } \lipsum[4] \end{document}   The heading will have both of the footnotes, but at the end of the page only the second is displayed. The problem appears to be \usepackage{titlesec}, because it works fine without it.    Stuff I specified in \usepackage{titlesec}:  \renewcommand\thesection{\arabic{section}}  \renewcommand\thesubsection{\arabic{subsection}}  \renewcommand\thesubsubsection{\arabic{subsubsection}}  \titleformat{\section}[block]{\Large\scshape\centering}{\thesection}{1em}{}  \titleformat{\subsection}[block]{\large\scshape}{\thesection.\thesubsection}{1em}{}  \titleformat{\subsubsection}[block]{\large\scshape}{\thesection.\thesubsection.\thesubsubsection}{1em}{}   Thanks in advance! Why we can't implement AES 512 key size? Out of curiosity why we can't implement AES 512 key size?    Please explain somehow i can understand! I'm not an expert. LaTeX seems to be having problems handling nested optional arguments. I've included a minimal code example that generates the error:  \documentclass[12pt,oneside]{book} \begin{document}  \newcommand{\termbad}[2][]{#2#1} \newcommand{\termgood}[2][]{#2#1}  \newcommand{\up}[1]{#1} \newcommand{\dd}[1][]{#1}  \termgood{\up{Tart}}{Pop} \termbad[\up{Tart}]{Pop}      \termgood{\dd[Tart]}{Pop} \termbad[{\dd[Tart]}]{Pop} %\termbad[\dd[Tart]]{Pop}   \end{document}   If you run this code, it works. If you remove the % in the second to last line, it fails with:  Runaway argument?  Tart{Pop} \par \par \end {document}  !File ended while scanning use of \dd.   After further tinkering, I have discovered the problem: LaTeX is reading the ] for the inner optional argument as the end of the outer optional argument and then passing a malformed argument in. So it is passing in \dd[Tart as the optional argument to \termbad instead of \dd[Tart].  This still feels like a bug to me. Nesting braces in arguments works, brackets should as well. The following are workarounds:   Enclose the inner optional argument in braces (as in the line before %). Redefine your inner function to require its argument instead of using optional arguments. Redefine your outer function to require its argument instead of using optional arguments.   Any one of the three works around the issue.

Wrap text at any point if normal hyphenation not possible What happens when ability scores reach 0? D&amp;D 5E does not seem to have rules for ability score damage (that I could find), although it does mention that if CON is decreased, your maximum HP is reduced. In addition, the Shadow monster in the Monster Manual has a Strength Drain attack that deals 2 Strength damage. The attack says that if a character's Strength reaches 0, the character dies. Are there any general rules for ability damage in 5th Edition? How to install Estru3D - Structural Analysis Software? I had problems installing Estru3D.

How do I tell if ACR will work with my camera and how do I get the correct version for Photoshop? I am a beginner photographer with a Canon 7d and MacBook Pro. I'm not sure if Adobe camera Raw is compatible with either and really need advice on how to go about downloading the correct version. What is the recommended wording for a generic error message I want to encrypt a USB stick, and be able to decrypt it on Windows as well as Ubuntu. How do I do this &amp; what programs do I need to use? prove that if $E$ is connected and $E \subseteq F \subseteq \overline{E}$, then $F$ is connected. Define a set $A$ to be disconnected iff there exist nonempty relatively open sets $U$ and $W$ in $A$ with $U\cap W = \emptyset$ and $A = U\cup W.$ Define a set $A$ to be connected iff it is not disconnected.(there are many equivalent definitions, but I want to prove this lemma using this one). Prove that if $E$ is connected and $E\subseteq F \subseteq \overline{E},$ then $F$ is connected.  Let $U, W$ be a separation for $F$. Find open sets $O_U$ and $O_W$ so that $U = F \cap O_U$ and $W = F\cap O_W.$ I claim that $E\cap O_U, E\cap O_W$ separate $E$. However, I'm unable to show that $U' = E\cap O_U, W' =E\cap O_W \neq \emptyset$ (I think this should be straightforward, but for some reason, I can't figure this out). Suppose $U' = \emptyset.$ Then $E\cap O_U = \emptyset.$ Since $E \subseteq F = U\cup W = F\cap (O_U \cup O_W)\subseteq O_U\cup O_W,$ we have that $E \subseteq O_W,$ so $E\cap O_W = E\subseteq F\cap O_W = W\subseteq F\subseteq \overline{E}.$ Observe that since $E\cap O_U = \emptyset, F\cap O_U = (F\backslash E)\cap O_U\subseteq F\backslash E.$ Similarly, $W'\neq \emptyset.$ Clearly, $U', W'$ are relatively open in $E$. Suppose $U'\cap W' \neq \emptyset.$ Let $x\in U'\cap W'.$ Then $x\in E\cap O_U\cap O_W \subseteq F\cap O_U\cap O_W = U\cap W = \emptyset,$ a contradiction. So $U'\cap W' = \emptyset.$ Also, $U'\cup W' = (E\cap O_U)\cup (E\cap O_W) = E\cap (O_U \cup O_W)$ and $E\subseteq (O_U \cup O_W),$ so $U'\cup W' = E.$
