Reminds me of the questions they'd use in Harry Potter to identify themselves
"What creature sat in the corner the first time that Harry Potter visited my office at Hogwarts?"

Though, given the events of the fourth book, every participant in the war must be incompetent at warcraft – which we do see in subsequent books. You could argue it's consistent with the characters being incredibly complex (traumatised veterans, ego-fuelled tunnel-vision, not actually caring about victory, etc)… but realistically they were written by a millionaire[1] with no experience of war, and are fairly one-dimensional characters.

That's what you think the biggest issues is with the writing in Harry Potter, and not the underutilization of a time travelling deice they only hand out to a student so she can ... take extra classes?
Don't get me wrong, I loved the books as a child, but as a grown-up now, they haven't aged well at all when you start to realized all the massive plot holes and sloppy writing.
Read the books instead of assuming things. The books are very clear on the point that food cannot be magically created.
I did, but that was about 20 years ago, I don't remember much from then except bits and pieces which may or may not be accurate as they're mixed in with the residual images form the movies.
