Right. I was in a castle in Burgundy a few years back that was built in the 1100's, and I SAW what their "bathrooms" looked like, and it did NOT include anything that Moaning Myrtle might live in, and DEFINITELY did NOT involve SINKS...
Fine, then how come THEY still don't have electricity, telephones, etc.??? Owls are nice, but they're slow, and I do NOT think that wizards were likely to beat us Muggles to the concept of indoor plumbing, either.
BUT, there's a SINK FAUCET that's a THOUSAND years old???
Also hard to imagine that the Chamber was ONLY opened ONCE since ol' Salazar, in (ca.) 1949, but yet 'someone' managed to build a "brand-new" (ca. 1910)sink into the opening, without realizing what they were doing...?????
This one kept me awake from 2:00am on, this morning...
OK -- the entrance to the Chamber of Secrets is IN/BEHIND a sink in the girls' privy, with a small serpent inscribed on one of the faucets, right...?
The Chamber was built by Salazar Slytherin about 1,000 years ago, right...?
Well, jeepers, there was NO "indoor plumbing" until about 125 years ago, and certainly NOT 1,000 years ago...!!!
