The Ultimate Harry Potter Discussion thread ***including Book 6 Spoilers***

I'm sure its like the emotional magic before you go to school- Harry never got a warning for setting the snake on Dudley either- I'm sure you have to have gone to school first- they probably think you can't do much without ever having been to classes-

I was wondering if there are any more hidden anagrams in Harry Potter?

We know that TOM MARVOLO RIDDLE is an anagram of I AM LORD VOLDEMORT, and I recently realised that 'Erised stra ehru oyt ube cafru oyt on wohsi' is 'I show not your face but your hearts desire' backwards, and also Lupin is latin for wolf - maybe there are some more anagrams that she has yet to reveal that could suggest something to future storylines?

Good idea about the vault, but I don't think Harry is hard pushed for money so it wouldn't add much to the plot if he got more money. Also they would be magical vaults, so perhaps it would have altered itself when Lily and James died?

There are loads of things like that. Off the top of my head I remember Verita Serum, the truth potion. VERITAS is latin for truth. erm its 5:27am right now and I can't think of any more. JKR is rather clever and threw a shirt load of things like that in. One of the reasons I like the books. Love the thread by the way Xenon, keep it going mate

Here's another thought- if the Potters were in hiding (enough to use the Fidelius Charm) they wouldn't have stayed in their own house, would they? maybe Godric's Hollow was some sort of vacation or family estate?

I was just reading something very interesting in the lexicion: After the Potters house is destroyed, ( a mystery on its own, what destroyed it?) the first person on the scene is none other then Fudge, who at the time was a junior minister in the department of magical catastrophies. 20 members of the MES (magical enforcement squad) supposedly take Sirius away. But then how is he later framed by wormtail, and let hagrid barrow his bike, if he is in custody? Anyway: Isn't it odd that Fudge, someone of little importantance at the time, was the first on the scene. So what everyone heard about the whole thing would have come from Fudge, so people would have believed it was Sirius, if fudge said it was. Fudge then sets to work modifing the memories of witnesses. Logic would say it was because they had seen the incident, or maybe it was to frame Sirius? What i am getting at is perhaps fudge is a death eater. It seems very odd that even before aurors or anyone else was there. Seems like very good timeing to me. Also, if he felt unsafe, it seems like he would have waited for some "back up", how could he know volde wasn't there waiting for anyone else to show up? Instead, he rushed there anyway. This doesn't seem like the kind of thing the department he belongs too would be involved in, even less that he would be involved in. It seems odd that he went right away. Also, lately he has been showing a lot of death eater charactoristics like meeting with malfoy. Perhaps his whole not believeing volde was back was all a ploy to get volde more time. His denial seemed to upset dumbledore, and Fudge's personality change was very noticable after/during book 4. Also, I find it odd that NO ONE was in the ministry when volde came, with so many people it seems some one would be there. Fudge could ahve arranged for everyone to go home early or something. Also, he really seems to want dumbledore gone from hogwarts. Why? Because when he is there, harry cannot be touched for volde. What better tool for volde then fudge? Hope this all makes sense

I like your theroy mate, but have u considered a one simple reason. Fudge is power mad. He did all of that to possibly be a big show off. The reason he hates Dumbledore is that he got more support for the role of MoM.

The lexicion says fudge was first on the scene, but he must have been third, after Hagrid, and Sirius.

is he so power mad that he would.... be a death eater and a volde sidekick

Hi Sire, nice to have your input back here. How's it going? Like my avatar?

Things are going good. Think I've got a High Distinction coming my way for economics, perhaps only a Distinction for history of economics, and marketing and management should be another Distinction if not better. WAAHOOO love the avatar too, very nice Almost didn't recognise you with it though.

The difference is that Hermione used a wand whereas the emotional magic is wandless.

I saw the site you your avatar came from, Moncal Pm'ed it too me... I think i sent you a Pm entitled "The Empire". Take a look if you wish

What does the Empire do?
