    Rowling, although a great storyteller, is no system analyst. Take her magic system for example. “Accio Invisibility Cloak!” Boom, Harry’s standing there in plain sight and you’ve got his cloak.

      They literally try this against Harry in book 7 and it doesn’t work because Harry’s cloak is special (it’s one of the deathly hollows)

        Ok fine, then my point is still made if the cloak has to be exception for this not to work.

      Accio doesn’t work on the Deathly Hallows or Horcruxes, so that would not have summoned the Cloak of Invisibility.

            See I’m just not sure how accio works, like wouldn’t you need to really know exactly what pair of undies he’s wearing? Whereas, if they think Potter’s sneaking around in the Invisibility Cloak, they would know he’s got to be wearing his glasses. And considering they were always getting broken and re-mended, I don’t think he has back-ups.

              They explain in the game, HL, that when you accio people, you are actually accioing their clothes.

              Or it was levioso? I don’t really remember

            And if he is wearing them wiel hiding under the invisibility cloak… well then you get both!

        Well we don’t really know, since Accio works on wands, but I would call that a sensible house rule.
