Okay let's get on with the next one:

The Weasleys knowing what dentists are.

"In Half-Blood Prince, Professor Slughorn asks Hermione what her parents do in 'the Muggle world,' and she says they're dentists. There's a short pause, and then she explains, 'They tend to people's teeth.' Slughorn even follows up by asking if it is a dangerous profession. This scene makes it really seem as if the Wizarding World doesn't have dentists and doesn't know what they are. BUT in Chamber of Secrets, when Ron, the twins, and Harry arrive at the Burrow after escaping the Dursleys, we see the magic Weasley family clock that clearly says 'DENTIST.'"
This one has a point. I assume there are no dentists in the wizarding world and they probably fix teeth through magic or something so this is a mistake. :)

Ahh, I never noticed that until you post that.. So that mean, they don't have dentist at all in wizard?!?!?!? Well, I need that for RL.. :lol: I mean, what if their tooth was hurting or what??

IKR? I don't think we got an answer about this (from JKR). How do they fix their teeth? It's one of those mistakes that we'll never get an answer. :sigh:

Yeah for real since I felt like they probably skip that parts in the book.. Sigh..

I actually only knew about this after seeing all the 7 movies. And when I found out, I was like "Oh yeah, now that's a mistake."

My answer would be is that they should have a dentist just like in the muggle world. It's kind of impossible to imagine that they don't have dentists in the wizarding world. :look:

fly me to the moon 05-20-2021 05:18 PM

Yeah, I mean, how they don't have one in wizarding world??

L i N d $ @ y 05-20-2021 09:51 PM

Not everything can be fixed by magic.

True that..

I wish we got an answer for this mistake but I don't think JKR elaborated on this. Plus I'm not sure if anyone asked her.

fly me to the moon 05-22-2021 06:12 PM

I doubt that she would answer it..

L i N d $ @ y 05-22-2021 10:03 PM

Yeah I'm resigned to the fact that this mistake will not be explained. But it is quite impressive that fans were able to pick up on this. :nod:

fly me to the moon 05-23-2021 06:04 PM

I know right.. And I remember that mentioned in the book..

L i N d $ @ y 05-23-2021 09:50 PM

Or maybe the Weasleys know about dentists because of Arthur? He likes knowing about the muggle world.
