harry potter vs twilight Pertanyaan

Why couldn't Harry see thestrals before Book 5?

Well he had already seen both Quirrell and his mother die oleh that point so I'm just curious why only after Cedric's death he could see them :)

I'm guessing JK did it on purpose just so it would be a big shock when he finally DID see them.

It is possible to sepatu luncur, skate around the him not seeing them, because it's possible he could have been asleep/not watching/etc. when Voldemort killed his mother, especially since bayi aren't particularly known for their attention spans.

As to the Quirrell thing, good question. Maybe watching someone turn into rock and crumble isn't really the same as dying?
I dunno, maybe to me I guess it's different to watch someone keel over, dead, and to watch basically a rock crumble into dust. That would be my theory, at least.

If anda look at it, Cedric's death and Quirrell's deaths are very different.

anda have a good point, it would be nice to get JK Rowling to answer that, but I'm just trying to support the book in this answer, :P

I think anda can see them when anda appreciate death. I don't really know how to put this in words. What I do know, is that when Quirrell died he blacked out, so Harry didn't see that. I think he only saw green light when he was a baby, so that must be the reason.

I thought that seeing thestrals meant lebih than just witnessing death. It was understanding it too. So when Harry was a child, he couldn't comprehend he had a dead mother at the time, so at the time, it wasn't particularly a death to him. His mind couldn't register it. When he did, he wasn't witnessing the death. I know this doesn't make sense really, but it's hard to say what I'm thinking in to words...
Another reason is that because he was in his cot, he couldn't see the 'avada kedavra' come into contact with his mother, meaning he didn't see her actual death.

Now with Quirrell, I think he was unconscious before he saw the last detik of Quirrell's life. This meaning that before Quirrell's soul truly left his body, Harry had already fainted.
Another could be, that if Harry was conscious, because his mind was going under too much stress to comprehend the situation, like how he was as a baby, he didn't fully understand the death. Saying this, when he finally did comprehend, he wasn't seeing the death.

I don't know where I got this from, but I guess it's because of Harry's young mind and the confusion at what was happening during the time of both incidents.

There's one lebih thing. Harry as a baby could have been barely in his right state of mind after all the shock of his frantic mother and father. As well as this, when he was facing Quirrell, he wasn't fully conscious. He might have needed a lebih stable state of mind to know that a death was occurring, therefore accepting it, which could be another way of seeing the thestral. Accepting the death, knowing it had happened at the time.

So either Harry couldn't comprehend what was happening at the time which could be a key in seeing thestrals, atau Harry couldn't see the death (he was in his cot and/or was knocked out before it happened) and I just did a bunch of typing and insight/researching stuff for nothing.

Why did I do all this? They aren't even real! Maybe just because I felt guilty because I haven't been on here for months. Anyone miss me? Lol, nah.

When Harry's mother died, he was so little, his only memory was a flash of light. Maybe anda have to remember seeing them. And as berkata before, bayi don't have great attention spans. Maybe he was starring at the ceiling, who knows.

And in the book, doesn't Quirrell die completely after Harry passes out?

@Ambryce The film has nothing to do with the way Rowling wrote the books.

Well. J.K. Rowling berkata that to see the thestrals, the death had to have really sunk in. Apparently, in book 4 when the carriages come to take them to the train at the ebd of the book, Harry still hadn't fully accepted the fact that Cedric was dead.

Harry didn't see Quirrell actually die. This was berkata oleh Rowling also.

Harry was very young when his parents died, so he didn't realize that they were dead.

Its because at age 1, he wasn't old enough to process his mothers death (It says in the fisrst book he only saw a flash of green light, and before book Hagrid he didn't know what that was.

As for Quirrell, Harry passed out before he died. Harry saw him burn, but that was it.
Hope this helped.

I thought about ths too, but in my opinion Harry wasnt old enough when his mother was killed to really understand death so even though he technically saw it, he didnt know what it meant. As for Quirrell, I'm not sure, I think he might have been unconsious already when Qurrill died, but I could be wrong.

Something must of been blocking his view when he was a baby (the bars on the cot prehaps?) So he didn't know. And he didn't understand what had happend which probaly has something to do with it.

In The Philosphers/Sorceres stone, He was already unconcious (in the book anyway...)

Well he wasn't old enough to remember the whole ordeal with his parents because he only remembered a couple things. That's a good pertanyaan with Quirrell. Well with the unicorn blood he only had a half-life so maybe it wasn't an "official" death? I'm not sure what the whole half-life thing was...I think it's mostly because Cedric was the only person he vividly remembered and cared about when he died. Not saying that he didn't care about his parents, of course.

He couldn't see thestrals after Quirrals death because he had passed out either right as atau before he died. and for his mother i think its because he never really believed they were gone atau got over their death.
