Agreed. While Voldemort has ‘stated’ the reason for not killing harry until now, it still feels...incomplete.

Well.
That happened.
I’m rather hoping (too tired to put numbers on it, sorry) that Harry can summon a phoenix straight from the mirror-he never tested the claim that a phoenix only shows up once, after all...and now he’s got the source of phoenixes right next to him. That’s a gun that’s just itching to fire.
“All your hallows combine” is fairly obvious, though the location of the stone is not entirely clear.
So. you know how Dumbledore thinks that Fred and George are kinda/sorta the heirs of Gryffindor?
I give them 90% odds of at least showing up.
her flesh is what’s important-for the revival ritual (IF that’s why quirrelmort broke her out, which is quite likely.). she doesn’t have a servant of her own to revive her with, so getting her a horcrux would be of no use.
And then quirrel won a bet with dumbledore when it turned out that first-years could cast the patronus.
Fake-moody’s statement that he’d get no more than a bloody nose...You woudln’t want to try that in the MoR verse. one of the students might be tempted to test it. and if the’ve been in quirrel’s wargames, well...you get the idea.
cause in MoR, it IS largely practice-based. in cannon rowling left it vague.
He thinks draco is much more suited to dealing with the politics, and that it’s much less work to optimize draco’s morals and hand power to him than to figure out how to navigate a political atmosphere for himself.
To put it crudely, harry plans to use draco as a puppet.
what about from science fiction? star trek: TOS. kirk meets kahn. kahn has been on ice. many other star trek episodes. see also nancy’s comment.
...a last ditch effort to at least make their deaths quick, while opening up a window to hit the dementors with a point-blank patronus 2.0 without worrying about the guards? Not that I think it very likely, mind you. harry may be broadening his options somewhat, but he has a ways to go before he’s quite THAT desperate.
It has occured to me that IF harry does obtain the sorcerer’s stone...it’s quite likely that quirrel will have been the one to get it out of the mirror, WITHOUT utilizing his leet magical skills.
dumbledore thinks voldemort should find the trap surrounding the sorcerer’s stone to be irresistable just for being such a puzzle.
Quirrelmort declares he has never seen such an obvious trap...in a way that suggest that he is quite tempted to go after whatever is inside, whether or not he knows what’s inside.
The troll DID happen, even though whether it was quirrel’s diversion or not remains to be seen.
The stone is merely the most preferred way of obtaining an actual body as far as quirrelmort is concerned, while harry very much wants to make everyone immortal, and would very much want to use the stone.
Er, really? every thing i’ve read in the books indicates that quirrel was NOT a horcrux, but was posessed by the central voldemort who had previously been possessing snakes...or any other animal he could get ahold of.
So it was probably a blunder on her part when she said that quirrel was a horcrux, IF she said that.
He gets it NOW. without having to run a risky feedback scheme between gringots and the muggle economy with only 100 galleons of seed money.
It makes sense enough, if you already believed Harry Potter was voldemort and don’t have harry’s perspective.
He DID want 7 total fragments. Then he accidentally turned harry into one and didn’t realize he’d done so. I can’t quit recall if he made nagini before or after the diary got zapped.
Quirrel is not a horcrux. he is possessed by voldemort himself.
Cannon Harry is an Accidental horcrux. Canon voldemort never realized harry was a horcrux BECAUSE he’d never used the incantation to seal the soul fragment within harry.
that...said...it didn’t do them much good whenver they caught a real witch/wizard, they’d just freeze the flames and scream to keep up with the act
One witch deliberately got herself caught repeatedly (14 times?) because she liked the tingling.
Yeah. it’s cannon.
well… In cannon, the weaselys have a garden...and you can enlarge food with magic, though rowling never specifies what the multiplicative limit is. (it is STRONGLY implied there is one, though. seventh book.)
So a little bit of gardening by the women goes a long way, though it may only be poor families that actually resort to it.
on the planet earth, of course; abuse space-folding charms to make the rest of the universe fit into a cauldron of arbitrary size.
for those two different spell-elements cannot exist in the same voldemort...? O.o Those two different spell-elements cannot exist in the same fold?
oh. whoops.… so more like a way of poking holes in the strategy “i will do whatever I would have precommitted to do”?
How much do you know about many worlds, anyways? My alternate self very much does exist, the technical term is possibility-cloud which will eventually diverge noticeably but which for now is just barely distinguishable from me.
there you go.
Something of the real voldemort was leaking through-and the part that was leaking through was, essentially, his gibbering fear of death.
Which really, really won’t help in trying to cast a True Patronus.
