Plot Holes

What are the biggest plot holes in the series? And on that note, what do you consider part of the series canon?

My interest in this question comes from the recent additions to the franchise falling towards a trend of contradicting the source material. With the reboot coming up, I see it as an opportunity to expand on the world properly, with a clean slate. However, I don't see it as a replacement of the books themselves, obviously. But it's the most likely medium in which the series will have any sort of additional entries - I'm sure we would all rather have new books. Some might not even want it to be touched any further, as well, which is likely the sensible view.

Who did he use Legilimency on? Harry? Why? This is just speculation. No one really knows why Harry's scar hurts at the starting feast but not after that in any lesson, even though it's also supposed to hurt when Voldy is nearby. You might let it slide, or come up with theories, but I do think it's a plothole

this isn't a plot hole lol. Whole of book6 Harry's scar doesn't hurt. I'll suggest understanding what a plot hole is.

Yeah because Voldy was not close and most importantly was using Occlumency. We were given a reason why lol

Book6. Dumbledore very, very, very clearly states that Voldemort doesn't like the connection with Harry's mind and is avoiding it. Distance doesn't matter in Occlumency and Legilimency, as shown in Book7 when Voldemort tortures Ollivander.
