Things that I would like to see coming along with the MoRverse:
Snippets of the world-as-it-is outside of Harry’s story, like Alicorn’s “Flashes” after Radiance. In particular, I’d really like to see more of Cedric Diggory, Draco and Luna’s childhoods, the Weasley twins’ first years, and the Marauders adventures as history, as well as redeemed Slytherin house and technical magical research after real engineers get their hands on it.
These could also make the Self-Awareness arc a bit less weird by personifying the bullying infrastructure.
I like the way Eliezer handles dementors as a metaphor for death, but as I consider Rowling’s intentions for them as metaphors for depression, I’m realizing that that might be even more beautiful, even if Eliezer doesn’t have as much to say about it.
For me, thinking of the Dementors as death AND depression is a lot of fun—the idea that they’re of the same essence is very cool to toss around. Which in turn makes the question of what patronuses are more tangled and intriguing...
Really, every attempt I make at reconciling the two worlds makes every facet of both more interesting! :)
