I’m saying “an important piece of the spell” because you used that phrase.
My point is: Harry knows that the Cloak keeps him hidden, not just invisible; this is similar to Thestrals; there’s Thestral blood painted on the inside of the Cloak.
None of that indicates that he knows how to replicate this effect, which is what I thought you meant when you said:
Harry believes he knows an important piece of the spell that made the Cloak.
Yeah, I wrote the grandparent hastily and badly. I felt confused about the difference in interpretation. But it doesn’t seem like an interesting difference; looks like you just took “spell” to mean the effect rather than the cause.
I hope you’d agree that knowing part of the cause should increase the chance of successful replication.
I do agree that knowing part of the cause should increase the chance of successful replication. I just think that there’s still a long way to go. We’re probably both reading more into each others’ posts than we should.
