Letter from Harry to Hermione[]

"When Hermione Granger ordered a Broomstick Servicing Kit for Harry Potter's thirteenth birthday while on holiday in France in 1993, she ruled out sending it to him via Muggle post, since the parcel might be opened at Customs.[3] However, Harry sent Hermione a letter with his owl Hedwig around the same time, and thus she was able to attach Harry's birthday present to the bird before she flew away.[3]"

From what I remember, wasn't it implied that Harry had not sent Hedwig, bur she rather flew to France on her own?--Rodolphus (talk) 17:40, May 8, 2017 (UTC)

I think so. Harry hasn't seen Hedwig for two days and has no idea where she is. Then when she returns, Hermione says “but then Hedwig turned up! I think she wanted to make sure you got something for your birthday for a change.” The book never says Harry sent Hermione a letter via Hedwig. It mentions he has sent letters to his friends in the summer, but also says he let Hedwig out every night anyway, so I think it is more likely Hedwig went of her own accord. -- Kates39 (talk) 18:02, May 8, 2017 (UTC)

Should we rephrase it, then?--Rodolphus (talk) 18:04, May 8, 2017 (UTC)

Yes, I wrote something up which I think makes it a bit more clearer. -- Kates39 (talk) 18:21, May 8, 2017 (UTC)
