Harry Potter Domanda

Why could Harry see thestrals after Cedric's death when in fact he didn't actually see the moment when Petigrew took his life?

"A blast of green light blazed throug Harry's eyelids, and he heard something heavy fall to the ground beside him; the pain in his scar reached such a pitch that he retched, and then it diminished; terrified of what he was about to see, he opened his stinging eyes. Cedric was lying spread-eagled on the ground beside him. He was dead."

I think it's più the fact that he was there when it happened, he heard it happen, he saw the body, and he understood death for the first time that leads to him seeing thestrals

Ok, then why couldn't he see them before since he was also present at his parent's death?

^because a one-year-old doesn't understand death.

No because the death didn't sink in.The death has to sink in to see threstrals.

Because te see thestrals once you've seen death, and then accept that persons death. Harry hasn't yet accepted Cedric's death, which is implied in the 5th book when Dudley says that he hears Harry having dreams and he says things about how Cedric shouldn't die. But once Harry has accepted Cedric's death, he can see the thestrals.

I'm sorry but the book clearly says SEE not ACCEPT so your argument is pointless

He was told he could see them because he had been touched da death, and, of course, he was touched da his parents' deaths.

Actually this is a very good point. Harry didn't actually SEE Cedric's death since his eyes were shut. Hmm, this is one of those "wtf" moments I think.

Flickerflame said:
The phrase "see death" is metaphoric. It really means to witness someone die and be old enough to understand what that means. Even though Harry didn't see Cedric's actual death, he'd heard the incantation and seen the flash of green light, he'd known what would happen, he'd even seen Cedric's dead body afterwards. That was enough for him to have "seen" death.
