Nice catch.
I’m now wondering exactly how the prophecy system works. Did Harry’s resolution alter time and directly cause these seers to see what they saw?
Despite the many good reasons to believe Quirrell is H&C, My Red Herring Alarm (©) wouldn’t stop going off while Harry was going over the list of suspects. My gut is usually fairly good at seeing plot-twists coming, and it’s very certain there’s someone Harry is forgetting about. Anyone else getting a similiar vibe?

The thing is, with Cryonics you aren’t just fighting normal ignorance that can be destroyed with good publicity, you’re fighting Religion. If you start telling people that (Zues Forbid) death is bad and worth a significant financial risk to avoid, the Christian Right are going to get upset. There would be boycotts organized against companies supporting Cryonics, who would be portrayed as avaricious atheists trying to fight the natural order.
The world’s sanity level isn’t high enough for this sort of thing, not yet.
Tried to stick with it, got bored shortly after they met a Fairy Queen or something.
This is in fact the reason I know Draco will still have some role in the story. But we really should get some main character deaths if the story is ending.
I don’t believe the soul is split every single time one kills. Dumbledore’s telling Harry that Voldie’s soul accidentally split during that night suggests that it was an unusual event, not something that happened several times per week. I believe Rowling also specifies that it was just one extra piece of Voldemort’s soul that had to find something to latch onto, not hundreds.
So if the accidental split was due to the murder of one of the Potters, I think it was probably the innocent child, the killing of which woudl probably have more powerful soul-ripping powers.
I was under the impression Hogwarts was founded over a millennium ago. With a wizard’s lifespan being around 200 at most, the founders would need to have raised Hogwarts as infants for the hat to only have existed for 800 years.
I wonder, what was its last prank?
But Harry is a Slytherin. At his very core is his ambition to become immortal and reorganize the universe to his satisfaction. He wants knowledge, and he wants it for its own sake, but it’s not his deepest wish. If he looked into the Mirror of Erised he’d see himself as the benevolent and omnipotent lord of the universe, not himself surrounded by books.
So, this isn’t going to be the actual new thread, right?
Good prediction.
I’m still not sure what specifically is wrong with PKH. The first chapter looks interesting so far...
Never read that either. Is it like Time Braid?
What’s wrong with the story?
Most muggleborns may not be able to do calculus, but they know about lotteries. The ministry would keep tabs on this stuff.
So how many other ex-death-eaters now officially owe House Potter? Surely they can pay him.
Five days was too long, IMO. If we only had 24 hours I would have enjoyed it much more.
And here… we… go.
Eliezer seems to be taking a page from Alicorn’s book. In Luminosity Alice is plagued by differing visions as Bella constantly changes her mind about her future, and then the actual future snaps into place when a final choice is made.
