Main Discussion #1: Hiding the Quidditch World Cup from Muggles
How does Arthur Weasley not know how Muggle money works?
What is the lasting impact of wiping Mr. Roberts' memory 10 times per day?
Prohibiting witches and wizards from doing magic at the Quidditch World Cup is ABSURD! Why hasn't a better plan been devised after all these years?
Just Hhw many witches and wizards are there in the world?
Why should Harry and Hermione have to put the tent together? Could it be foreshadowing to Deathly Hallows?
