Talk:Muggles' Guide to Harry Potter/Characters/Bathilda Bagshot

From the article:

''We see that Nagini is with him in the first chapter of the book, which occurs in late July, and we know that Skeeter's book came out in August or September. This would suggest that Bathilda had died sometime between July and September, and quite possibly at Voldemort's hand, after which Nagini would have been living within her remains.''

That can't be right. Bathilda was clearly still alive when Rita sent her the book, as it's standing on her mantelpiece when Hermione spots it. It would have been lying on her doormat had it arrived while she was dead.

I think it's much more likely that Bathilda was killed at some point in October or November, possibly as a safeguard in case Harry did end up going to Godric's Hollow (as he eventually did).


 * Good point... but inconclusive, as Nagini had to stay inconspicuous, and so might have collected the book off the doormat to make it seem as though Bathilda were still alive enough to actually do some housework. That said, I will modify the article accordingly. Chazz (talk) 15:19, 18 August 2017 (UTC)
