There's something about Justine (PT and BG spoilers +WAG)

<< < (6/7) > >>

The_Sibelis:
Harry had to leave his power at the door to even go into an apartment in WN, which is a piddly threshold indeed... And Morts whole threshold was damaged by linking business with home too....

Mira:

--- Quote ---Thomas’s threshold would be piddly like Harry’s was, as a bachelor it certainly didn’t stop the Toad Demon etc. Harry ended up getting a steel door, and warded up the Wazoo (a technical wizarding term). It’s a big difference losing 5% of your power as opposed to 95%. It is interesting though that Whamps can threshold.

If I remember correctly the Toad Demon gained access to Harry's place because Susan innocently opened the door for it, which was the same as inviting it in.  An invitation cancels threshold and ward protections.

Conspiracy Theorist:
Opening a door is not enough, there has to be an express invitation, see the occasions where Harry has asked to be invited.

Just went back and checked, the threshold did stop it for a while, it had to gather strength to break through it.  Then Harry's circle down in the lab stopped it cold, except Bob accidentally on purpose
sort of directed Susan to drink the love potion instead of the escape potion.  As Harry said a three foot circle isn't enough room for things like that.. Bob did get the escape potion to them only after he got a 24 hour freedom pass.

Conspiracy Theorist:
Yeah because Harry had a piddly threshold, had that been the Carpenters, the biggest threat of Toad crossing the threshold would have been slipping on the the ectoplasm before it sublimated. Not all thresholds are equal and Jim has been deliberately vague on the point in book to give himself wiggle room.
