10. The Legilimency Conundrum

The "Plot-Hole"

In the Harry Potter books, when he's asked to teach Harry the art of Legilimency, Snape tells his reluctant student that the "mind isn’t a book to read at leisure".

But then in Fantastic Beasts And Where To Find Them, Queenie's Legilimency comes incredibly easy to her, almost as if she is simply reading minds like a book...

The Solution

For Rowling, it comes down to natural ability...

So basically, Queenie was simply more gifted than Snape at it.
