Did Rowling Forget it's Against the Rules? - Page 2

I think there are several points.

1) They can't tell WHO performed the magic - only the location. So performing magic at the Qudditch World Cup - they would have no idea it was someone underage.

2) I think they're more concerned with Muggles seeing the magic. So minor spells on the train would be overlooked - not to mention that they have adults on the train who could be performing those spells too.

These two points have been made - but I just wanted to reinforce them.

As for the car - there were several things wrong with that. Aduts weren't even supposed to be enchanting muggle items - in case they accidently fell into the hands of a muggle. As for Harry and Ron actually stealing the car - they did it right in broad daylight with people all around. They also didn't have their license.
