The Great Harry Potter Re-Read of 2005

[katiescarlet]

Okay, so I had planned on re-reading the first five Harry Potter books before the sixth one comes out (41-days-from-now-but-who's-counting) but I keep getting distracted by shiny objects (and manga, and crossword puzzles, and computer games, and...yeah, you get the idea) so I may not be able to get through them all. We'll see

>>Did they have the Marauder's Map that early? We still don't know exactly when they got it, or how they learned to use it, do we?<<

I thought about that, too, while watching the third movie again. I can't wait to find out about that!

>>Also, Voldemort himself says that Lily "needn't have died." But...WHY?!?!?! That's at the heart of the entire septology, I just know it! ARG!<<

That bothers me, too! There's so much to find out; it's crazy! But I'm loving it, as I'm sure you are. ;)

I loved reading your notes and thoughts on book one! Please post more on later books when you get the time to re-read them! ^_^

Thanks! Will do. :)

We still don't know exactly when they got it, or how they learned to use it, do we?

When Fred and George gave it to Harry in the third book, they do say, "When we were innocent first years..." - they got in trouble in Filch's office, blew up a dungbomb, and grabbed the first thing they could out of Filch's "Confiscated" cabinet. But yeah, it's still a mystery how they learned the password. But remember how the map talked to Snape? Maybe it talked with Fred and George a bit, and whatever spirit of the Marauders that's in the parchment recognized a kindred spirit, and thus gave the password.

*cough* To plug my community...canon_evidence is for any questions about what's canon and what's not - what we know and we don't.

Aha! Spiffy. Thanks! I friended the community and put it on my HP filter so when I'm in a Pottery mood I'll drop by once in a while. :)

Heheh. We don't get very much traffic (though we're not dead yet), so no need to worry that it might spam your friends-list.

Heh, no problem. I'm just rather filter-happy when it comes to reading LJ. I have filters for HP, Phantom of the Opera, Pirates of the Caribbean, other communities, and "real" people. ;) It's just easier to wade through everything that way.
