12 Biggest Lies In Harry Potter We All Accept

This seems like a minor enough issue and like it could be hurtful to the visually impaired, so let us explain why it’s important and implausible. Fair enough, Harry like so many of us wears glasses and struggles to see without them. It’s fine with us if he opts not to go for Lasik, though it does seem like a wizard who can magically fix his glasses can likely do the same to his eyes, particularly one surrounded by supposedly great conjurers like Dumbledore and Hermoine.

But!

It is one of the great lies of Harry Potter that our hero can’t fix his eyesight or chooses not to, because at any point this vitally important figure in the world of wizardry could be effectively disarmed by losing them, breaking them, or God forbid having them nicked by any of the many murderers and psychopaths who are in pursuit of him.

Spells manage some amazing feats throughout this series, so it sort of beggars belief that 20/20 vision for the only person capable of saving the planet is out of the grasp of magic.
