: If you are agreeing to the last line - WHY?

: There is no indication that a phone booth anywhere is protected by a

But "no house at all" appears to be in the place of 12 GP.

: I was pointing out that in the book - Sirius explains why his house was
: not plotable - done by an ancestor - using other spells and enchantments.
:

: We are never lead to believe that it was a fidelius that hid anything
: but the OOP.

There I disagree.
Remember how it was said that one could be right next to the Potters'
Fideliused getaway-cottage and not see it.I think the analogy would
be 11GP and 13GP believe they are adjoining.
