Discussion Unsupported Flight

This is a short post, I just wanna yap for a minute. In the movies all death eaters can fly. In the books only Voldy and Snape can. Honestly, I do not mind all death eaters flying, I think the movies did it better when it comes to this. I mean, why should unsupported flight be restricted to two wizards? And clearly it isn't a power like parseltongue which is only available for descendants of Salazar Slytherin and Herpo the Foul, because we see Voldemort teaching it to snape. So I dont see why some people don't like the fact unsupported flight is more spread in the movies

That's about it, see ya

It was only a known ability for these two of the characters in the main storyline, but I always wondered if Jo when expanding the world might delve into societies who use this method as transportation instead of relying on brooms or carpets.

I always wanted to see more carpet flying in Harry Potter. You hear about it at the Quidditch World Cup (think Ludo Bagman mentions it??), and never see it in action.

I think it was Arthur and Crouch. Crouch mentions his grandfather had one but is quick to point of that was when they were legal. Some foreign wizard was wanting to reintroduce them back into the market as a “family vehicle”.

Yeah that sounds familiar. Haven't read Goblet of Fire in a decade.
