What crimes are punished with sentences in Azkaban? Or what must be proved in a trial to merit a stay in Azkaban other than murder?
Of all the people we know, in the books, who were sent to Azkaban, the majority are Death Eaters (Dolohov, Lucius, Crouch Jr, Bellatrix and so on) or suspected to be involved with them (Sirius, Stan, et cetera). They were imprisoned for using the Unforgivable Curses, as well as for being accomplices of a seriously dark wizard. What other crimes are Azkaban-worthy, in normal circumstances? I'm looking for anything that's been stated in the books, or on Pottermore (basically, anything 'canon'), or anything one can conclude from information in the books. I think smaller crimes are punished by imposing a fine, but what about bigger ones? Surely murder and torture (i.e. crimes against humanity) aren't the only ones punishable by imprisonment? That certainly isn't the case in contemporary Muggle society. My thoughts Off the top of my head, I can name these crimes:  Being an unregistered Animagus1 That was what Hermione threatened Skeeter with.  Trespass and robbery2 That's how Sturgis Podmore was imprisoned.   Notes  Several of the arrests in the Half-Blood Prince and the Deathly Hallows were made by an authoritarian (if that's the right word on this case) government, in the time of war. They do not count as normal.  I don't mean that there should be an answer to this question, I was wondering if it was ever addressed in the books. I certainly don't expect a list of all people sent to Azkaban, and the reasons for doing so!     1 &quot;Well, yes,&quot; said Hermione calmly, taking a sip of her drink. &quot;Otherwise, as you very well know, I will inform the authorities that you are an unregistered Animagus. Of course, the Prophet might give you rather a lot for an insider's account of life in Azkaban.&quot;  The Beetle at Bay, Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix     2 Sturgis Podmore, 38, of number two, ... charged with trespass and robbery ... sentenced to six months in Azkaban.

Let me know your idea. I play with some serious board gamers, but we have neglected Monopoly for a number of years, so our knowledge is mostly based on high school &amp; house rules.  We played last week and enjoyed it, but there was a piece of contention. There are times where we decide that we don't like one of our friends for some reason and don't want them to win (i.e. we landed on their property a bunch, or they refused to make a deal, etc.).  So when player 1 has some property and player 2 lands on it and cannot pay the rent their assets (houses/hotels get liquidated), their property gets transferred to the other player. (Please correct me if I'm wrong.) In this case, though, player 3 "traded" the amount of money owing for a piece of property (way overpaid). In this case they did it so that player 1 would not get the properties. Player 2 had no chance of winning the game (all properties mortgaged, no cash to speak of and many of the other properties with 3+ houses/hotels on them).  To summarize: Is it OK for a third player to purchase/trade property or cash to/from a player who is about to lose? If monotone decreasing and $\int_0^\infty f(x)dx <\infty$ then $\lim\limits_{x\to\infty} xf(x)=0.$ Faster Press and Hold Character Picker Does anyone know how to make the character picker appear more quickly?   I use it enough now in my German language studies that it has become second nature for the critical marks and much faster than using the alt+keypress shortcuts.   Only problem is that it's so second nature that sometimes it doesn't pop up quickly enough so I end up typing the character and the number shortcut sometimes (IE u2 instead of ü). Anyone know how to make it appear with less delay? Ideally, I'd love if I could just hold the character and press the number but it appears that OSX insists on waiting for the menu to pop up. A Basic Question about Gravity, Inertia or Momentum or something along those lines Python Implementation of Track-to/aim constraint Alternatively, why does the force created by blowing out air feel so much stronger than the force created by sucking in air?  Ok, so forget the human factor involved in blowing out candles. Consider a vacuum cleaner with a suction end and a blower end. Anyone who has tried it out notices the blower end creates a much stronger force than the suction end, despite the discharge being (more or less) equal at both ends.  Why does this happen? If the imaginary part of an entire function is never zero, the function is constant Let $f : \mathbb{C} \to \{z\in\mathbb{C}:\Im(z)\neq0\} $ entire . Show that $f$ is constant.  I took $g(z)=\frac{1}{f(z)}$ and I think that g is bounded, therefore it is constant (due to Louville's theorem) but how do I prove it? Is $|g(z)|=\frac{1}{|f(z)|}=\frac{1}{u^2+v^2}\le M$ valid? How do I show for an ideal transformer $M^2=L_1L_2$? I've been stuck on this problem for about an hour.     In an ideal transformer, the same flux passes through all turns of the primary and of the secondary . Show that in this case $M^2=L_1L_2$, where $M$ is the mutual inductance of the coils, and $L_1$, $L_2$ are their individual self-inductances.   My first instinct was the following: If we isolate the response of each coil to the other one, we get the equations $N_1\Phi_1=MI_2$ and $N_2\Phi_2=MI_1$, where $\Phi$ is magnetic flux going through a single turn of the coil and $I$ is current. Likewise, if we isolate the response of each coil to itself, we get the equations $N_1\Phi_1=L_1I_1$ and $N_2\Phi_2=L_2I_2$. I would now naturally want to say "Now just multiply $N_1\Phi_1$ and $N_2\Phi_2$ both ways, and get the desired result!" i.e.,  $$(N_1\Phi_1)(N_2\Phi_2)=(MI_2)(MI_1)=(L_1I_1)(L_2I_2)\implies M^2=L_1L_2$$  But that's incorrect, because the response of the coils to themselves and to the other coil are different quantities (i.e. not necessarily equal).  Realizing this, I write down the more general equations.  $$N_1\Phi_1=MI_2+L_1I_1$$ $$N_2\Phi_2=MI_1+L_2I_2$$  Now even with the hypothesis that $\Phi_1=\Phi_2=\Phi$, I still can't see how the identity $M^2=L_1L_2$ follows. Could you help clear up my confusion?  *Taken from D. Griffiths Introduction to Electrodynamics (4th ed.), Problem 7.58.

Minimum safe spacing between lava and flamable materials? It seems that containing lava in solid glass, stone and iron blocks may not be sufficient to prevent wool from burning, even if the lava is completely encased.         After some delay, it seems that fire will jump onto the wool above the iron.   Are solid blocks more effective than airspace, or not? If so, Does it matter whether the corner block is filled in? What are the exact rules on distance that I need, and how can I prevent flammable blocks from being eliminated by nearby lava? Bonus: Does a flowing lava block behave differently than a lava source block when it comes to fire creation? Traveling with visa in my old passport My old passport in which an ECR was stamped,with passport expiry date in 2017.I got a Dubai visit visa on its passport number but later on as I was told that it'l be a problem for me to travel to Dubai so I got a new passport re-issued with ECNR with a new passport number.  So will it be a problem for me to travel or do I have to get my UAE visit visa details of my old passport number change to my new passport number? Proving that $\arctan(x)+\arctan(1/x)=\pm \pi/2$, could this line of reasoning possibly be correct? How to add PlotLegends in a Show function? How to do logistic regression subset selection? I am fitting a binomial family glm in R, and I have a whole troupe of explanatory variables, and I need to find the best (R-squared as a measure is fine). Short of writing a script to loop through random different combinations of the explanatory variables and then recording which performs the best, I really don't know what to do. And the leaps function from package  does not seem to do logistic regression.  Any help or suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

The  feat (PHB, p. 168) says:     While you are wielding a glaive, halberd, pike, or quarterstaff, other creatures provoke an opportunity attack from you when they enter your reach.   The  feat (PHB, p. 170) says:     When a hostile creature's movement provokes an opportunity attack from you, you can use your reaction to cast a spell at the creature, rather than making an opportunity attack. The spell must have a casting time of 1 action and must target only that creature.   On this very topic, Mearls has :     Q: Do Polearm Master and War Caster combine to allow a magic user to make a spell opportunity attack when they enter reach?   A: No - polearm master applies only if you use the weapons it lists to make the attack     Another question on this very topic:   But since then, we now have spells like  (SCAG, p. 142):     As part of the action used to cast this spell, you must make a melee attack with a weapon against one creature within the spell’s range, otherwise the spell fails. On a hit, the target suffers the attack’s normal effects, and it becomes sheathed in booming energy until the start of your next turn. If the target willingly moves before then, it immediately takes 1d8 thunder damage, and the spell ends.    So, with the addition of booming blade, if I have a quarterstaff + War Caster + Polearm Master, could I use my reaction to cast booming blade if someone steps into my reach?
