I provided a logical and plausible reasoning for it. You just refuse to accept it, because for whatever reason, you're incapable of grasping the concept that the Eastern magic users made up chi to hide what they were actually doing from potential rivals and enemies.
Thus, thereÆs really nothing more to say on the subject.
Firstly, this doesn't say once that they are rich. Secondly, it may just be what the Blacks called themselves and not a title of any kind (I find this much more likely, in fact). No other family has ever been referred to as Most Noble and Ancient, or any derivation of it.
You ignored the part where they're directly related to the Malfoys, who are rolling in gold and political power.
You're also ignoring the elephant in the room. No matter how dingy or hidden it might be, they still owned a mansion, and it was still filled with rare, expensive, valuable, and in several cases Dark things.
They may have lost their wealth and political power when Sirius (the last direct legitimate blood heir, IIRC) was sent to prison, but they did have it, and may have had it afterwards depending on how wizarding politics and banking policies work (which is something we don't know).
No they're not. The word ward is not once used in the books.
Wrong. Nurmengard is specifically stated to have anti-Apparition wards in place. That's canon.
Quidditch through the Ages does not say that Bludgers are unbreakable.
Correct. It does not, and most aren't.
Rowling said some of them were during an interview, when asked what new developments might be used on Quiddich equipment.
Rowling has made only one comment about wandless magic, ever, and that is too say that, while accidental magic occurs without a wand, "really good magic" (i.e. spells) need a wand to be cast.
She didn't say it was a wandless spell. I used the term wandless because everyone is familiar with it.
She said, in response to a question about how witches and wizards could cast it if they're bound to a stake and being set on fire, that it doesn't necessarily need a wand to be cast.
That, combined with the fact that canon states it ôcould be easily cast if a witch or wizard were actually capturedö confirms that it is both easy to cast and can be cast without a wand (aka æwandlessÆ).
Please stop bitching and doing half-assed research.
The fact that it darkens at all implies that it lightens. It can't just keep getting darker and darker and darker. That's basic logic.
It's also basic logic that they could conceal them, fade them away, move them around, or do something else to prevent them from being seen or discovered. Otherwise, it's the most retarded magical tool of all time. As dense and ignorant as they can be at times, IÆll give them the benefit of the doubt and say that something as simple as ôif you mark yourself with something that could get you executed, make sure you can prevent it from being seen or found if youÆre ever searchedö is a concept they can grasp.
ThereÆs also the fact that wizarding ignorance is used for comedic effect, not as an actual plot device. ItÆs more of a tongue-in-cheek running gag than is a reason to argue for or against them using basic logic.
Again, stop bitching and doing half-assed research.
Again, all bitching doing half-assed research.
"According to Rowling" appears to be in fact "I just felt like making this up now". You're giving me quite the nerdrage.
Ah, so that's why. You're angry because I apparently know about it more than you do.
That explains some things.
This is a thread about canon fact. Please take your imagination away to other threads, it doesn't belong here.
This is a thread meant to answer questions about canon using canon facts.
Please take your nerdrage and inability to understand that the majority of questions here cannot be directly answered by canon (hence why they're being asked at all, and why a degree of imagination and creativity is required to answer them) away to other threads, it doesn't belong here.
This, too, is a falsity, though a popular one, propagated by fanon.
Wrong. Hogwarts is specifically stated to be located in an area of extremely powerful ambient magic.
Whether this is why the Founders built it there, or if it's because of Hogwarts itself, canon does not say.
However, just as much evidence exists for it being the area as there does for it being Hogwarts itself, so it isn't uncanonical, merely unconfirmed.
And that, by the way, is why imagination and creativity is required. Just because you seem to be bitching about how it isn't necessary and has no place here.
