Crouch/Moody is a great example of Luke's second-time foreshadowing - 
from the disturbance at Moody's house to Crouch's name on the 
Marauder's map, all the clues are there, we just don't know what they 
mean. 

Thanks for the essay, Luke. You created a good framework for the 
foreshadowing discussion. 

I thought the timeturner was horribly obvious first time around. I 
knew from the first day of classes Hermione was somehow managing to 
re-live hours and thought Harry and Ron utter dolts for not figuring 
it out. The girl obviously had Arithmancy homework - how else would 
she get it?
