In harry Potter, how come the y never melted in the water?

Why is the sky blue
Why does Edward sparkle
Oh na na whats mine name oh na na
What is My kegemaran color
Why did that guy kill that guy

So many stupid questions, quite trolling your not gonna get any real answers.

What? That's a really dumb question. -__- Harry takes showers. Why didn't he melt then? LOL

Because JKR has complete disregard for common wizarding rules

This soalan is actually lebih interesting than it first appears, of equal merit as the question: "Why does Edward Cullen sparkle?"

Why didn't wizard's and witches melt when exposed to dihydrogen-oxide? Is it because while it adheres to the traditional mythology of witches, it would be detrimental to the plot? Think of it, if Harry was unable to come in skin contact with water, how would he have solved the egg in Goblet of Fire?

While the replacement of the "death in sunray" situation with sparkles certainly annoyed the consensus of the vampire community, replacing it also certainly allowed for lebih Edward-Bella interactions.

Generally, any established "rule" in mythology should be respected, but if one cannot accomodate the rule without destroying the plot, one is allowed to change the rule.

*mumbles as head starts to hurt* I've been over this so many times. Let me lay it out for you.
It's the same reason that in Twilight, Vampires glisten in sunlight...
Each penulis puts their own spin on myths. Because that's what this all is. Is myths. Made up stories. Fiction. Fantasy. Not. Real. The authors do this so that they won't get sued. anda see, if they just reprint the exact same thing that other authors have, they might get in trouble with teh Man. Teh Man will arrest tehm because tehy plagerized, which means "claimed somebody else's work as their own". They can't do this because other authors put a copywrite tarikh on their published books. anda see now? atau do I need to explain more? Everyone see now?

Yes, I changed the positioning of some "e"s and "h"s on purpose. sejak the way, Harry didn't turn into a fish.

Because anda find out in "Wikced" that Elphaba didn't actually melt. She pretended to so she could escape. Water doesn't actually affect witches and wizards. I mean, think of Glinda. She must have taken showers, because a good witch can't smell like garbage!!!

Harry wasn't really a ikan - he took a potion that actually turned him into a miniature Beluga ikan paus named Henry.

EDIT: On a lebih serious not, I'd also like to point out that, as the Wicked Witch of the West didn't melt, there really was no reason for Harry to.

wat i <3 hp and i wasnt informed harry turns into a ikan and ive read all da buku and watched all da movies

(Heavy sigh) He turned into ikan in Harry Potter 4, because he used gilly weed for the saat task in the Triwizard Tournament. And this is NOT the Wizard of Oz!!! This is Harry Potter! Witches and wizards don't melt when exposed to water in HP. And I've heard before that the reason why water melted the Witch of the West in TWoO, is because her soul was unclean. And it never berkata anything in traditional mythology that wizards/witches truly melted when in contact with water. But it does say in traditional vampire mythology that Vampires BURN in the sunlight.

hmm well witches/wizards existed in stories and in fact in the real world (speculative) long before the wizard of oz, i guess that many wizards/witches react to things in different ways, willow in buffy didn't melt in water either. also he didn't actually turn into a ikan he actually using gillyweed just grew gills so that he could breathe underwater

I always thought that witches/wizards melting in water was a rule that wasn't commonly accepted. I've never seen it anywhere else than Wizard of Oz, so...:)

find one other thing except Wizard of Oz where witches/wizards melt

Because the Wizard of OZ is the only movie that I've heard of where the witches melt when they hit the water...
Is this a sirius question?

Well,I guess its because they're wizards and they can turn into things?

Sinds when are wizzards made of salt.

He turned into a ikan because he ate some Gillyweed, something Dobby got for him so he could breathe underwater for an hour.
The Wizard of Oz is the only book/movie in which a witch melts on contact with water. This is not a common wizarding rule atau anything like that, so please stop.
And now, for my amusement I will say...



TROLLLLLL IN THE DUNGEON!
Stop trolling.

Yeah. I don't understand what "doesnt make since" to you, because Harry Potter is not the same as the Wizard of Oz.
He did not turn into a ikan either.
