Line 49:
** All of them to forget that the werewolf is going to be out on a full moon, even though Lupin should never forget that, and furthermore after Snape had just entered the scene announcing out loud that Lupin had failed to take his Wolfsbane potion (before being knocked unconscious).
** Peter to not suggest this action even when Sirius is loudly announcing his intent to murder Pettigrew on the spot, despite having it firmly established that Peter is a total coward and would do or say anything to live five minutes longer.
** Them all choosing to rely on physical restraints to confine an animagus, despite Sirius being intimately familiar with how much that doesn't work (seeing as how he escaped Azkaban the exact same way).
** Compounding the above error by choosing, out of their entire party, the guy who is going to werewolf out in about five minutes and the kid with the broken leg to be the people in charge of keeping Pettigrew restrained.
** It seems that the author realized she wrote an end to her seven part series in the third installment and had to use an [[Only the Author Can Save Them Now|Only the Author Can Beat Them Now]] to get out of it.
* The fact that the Wizarding community never sought out the help of the Muggles to aid them against Voldemort. Look we can argue ''all day'' about whether a wand would beat a gun but at the end of the day Muggles have things such as fighter jets, tanks, cruise missiles, machine guns, superior surveillance and tracking abilities e.g. UAV's and satellites, superior communication, superior numbers and more importantly superior training. If we had deployed the air force during the Battle of Hogwarts it would have lasted five minutes. Oh and before anyone brings the whole ''secrecy'' argument into this; ''if'' the British Prime minister knows about the Wizarding World you can bet your life that the Pentagon is also fully aware of the existence of the Wizarding community. Or are we really supposed the believe that when the US President was briefed by the American Minister for Magic about the second war against Voldemort that he kept that threat a secret and didn't immediately start drawing up contingency plans to protect his country should the worst come to the worst? Hell it stretches credulity that the British PM wasn't doing the exact same thing given the fact that people like Fudge proved just how much of a threat to national security Wizards are. In a post 9/11 world we're generally suspicious of people that can accost our leadership in their own office.
