"Harry survived Voldemort's killing curse that rebounded and seemingly destroyed the Dark Lord, leaving a lightning bolt-shaped scar on his forehead." Ambiguous grammar that would be better written "Harry survived Voldemort's killing curse that rebounded and seemingly destroyed the Dark Lord, leaving a lightning bolt-shaped scar on Harry's forehead" 2A00:23C7:5580:1801:148B:2202:A82C:27D (talk) 15:48, 18 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]

En route to Hogwarts

There is a spelling mistake it should be on the route to hogwarts JNext55 (talk) 18:18, 7 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]

"En route" means "along the way". That isn't a spelling mistake. See Wiktionary:en route. ~Anachronist (talk) 17:18, 9 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]
