It’s been awhile since I’ve been on Wattpad, and I don’t know if I have any Harry Potter stories on here, but I DO know that I’ve read some, and I’ve read them on other sites.
One of my biggest pet peeves as both a Potterhead and an author of HP fanfics is the mixup between Banishing and Vanishing objects.
BANISHING an object means the person is sending it away, i.e. some dishes to the sink, or a stack of books to their shelf.
VANISHING an object means to make it disappear, as in no longer existent as itself, which is covered in Book 7 when Harry and Luna are in Ravenclaw Tower and McGonagall answers the riddle from the knocker. “Where do Vanished objects go?” “Into non-being, which is to say, everything.”
As you can see, there is a GIGANTIC difference between the two. One merely relocates the object, the other sends the object into non-being. Please get the two right. I won’t nitpick on it, or comment on it, but it does irk me the entire time I read the story.
