I'm sorry, but I hate this excuse. Bad writing is bad writing. Hand-waving away something that just straight-up doesn't make sense because it's "for children" is lazy. Also, saying a 30-second throwaway gag on a show-within-a-show is the same as the thousands of pages of YA lore in the series Rowling spent over a decade writing is obviously a false equivalency.
