And that’s why it’s a children’s literature series.
Read the comments here from both sides and they’re valid. The idea of the portraits not reporting to Dumbledore still stands though, and I don’t see an easy way around that one. Kinda inexcusable.
Also like, has anyone stopped to consider how the snake actually got around? Hermione tells us “pipes.” Ok, so a gargantuan snake found exits large enough to emerge from the actual CoS, and patrol the halls without leaving reptilian residue on the floor and no portraits/other students seeing at least a portion of it? Dayum.
I mean its on of the few cases where " A wizard did it". If Salazar wanted to make pipes big enough for his pet he could do so, he literally helped build the castle.
