For one thing, being a powerful wizard doesnt mean that someone cant trick you. He also had an ego where he basically only viewed Voldemort as the only person who could think on his level, too.

If someone comes in here and hasn't read all the books, then that's their fault

She certainly is but it's irrelevant to this.

Either because Barty Jr. is the greatest actor ever or Dumbledore was really fucking senile.

A bigger problem is that Barty would have needed a giant 55 gallon drum full of polyjuice potion considering he was impersonating Moody almost every single hour a day for 10 months.

He also kept the real Mad-Eye weak and underthe Imperius Curse for both hair for Potion, and to interrogate him on how to act.

Yeah, but that doesn't mean Crouch would have gotten everything right & it still doesn't show him with an enormous vat full of polyjuice potion in his office. He has to drink it every hour on the hour.

He only needs a sip. He kept it in his flask, and stole ingredients from Snape to brew throughout the year.

I've read the book too-- even if he's only going through 1 flask a day, its literally 10 straight months, 18 hours a day (as we see him prowling around the school after curfew). That would be a fuck ton of polyjuice, not to mention the fact that it takes an entire month to make 1 batch of the stuff.

It's a kids book. Many other things are inconsistent and it seemed like she made things up as she went along without going back to see if she contradicted herself.

That. Dumbledore flies to the ministry on a broom at the end of the 1st book because she hadn't made up floo travel, portkeys, apparition, or the phoenix travel stuff yet-- and it makes the ending ridiculous.

Remember that he also got the jump on Moody to begin with, which is no small feat considering the guys history as THE best auror, and his eye always watching. Waiting. Commiserating.

I wouldn't be surprised if Moody had a stock of Polyjuice Potion already made, too. Seems like something a paranoid retired Auror would have.

Polyjuice Potion

No one seems able to see through it other than deathly hallows spoilers I think? the goblins but that was probably because they were warned, and how she was acting.

It was probably one of the things she forgot, but the polyjuice potion can last up 12 hours.

  1. Barty Crouch Jr is stated to be an extremely skilled and intelligent. He's mentioned as having performed excellently on his exit exams in his 7th year. Voldemort also would have thought enough of him to brand him with the dark mark.
  2. The real Moody was under the Imperious Curse the entire year. Crouch probably kept poking him constantly for information on how to act and what to say.
  3. The real Moody gained a reputation in his old age of being unbalanced.
  4. Dumbledore is human, and probably just plain didn't suspect it, particularly with everything else going on that year.
