 Re: How would you have done Harry's evacuation?
That is a really good idea, except that either way Death Eaters were going to attack the group coming out of the Privet Drive wards. We have no way of knowing if the DE would attack EVERYONE, including Polyjuiced Harry, because they didn't have orders not to kill any of them, or if they would do something else.
The Seven Potters was risky, but it afford the Polyjuiced a certain amount of protection because the DE were not aiming to kill, and Voldemort only wanted to kill the REAL Harry. As long as they could get away, it wasn't just shooting AK's everyone because there are no Potter(s) to accidently hit in the crossfire, which may have happened if Harry was disguised as a twin.
Knowing that the Cloak is one of the Hallows, I think I would have had the six Potters, and then the real one under the cloak with someone on a broom. Maybe. In the battle scenes, the alternatives can go so wrong. |
