dangerous, that his scar (depending on reading) is a warning. (FIE!)
In another thread, I was ruminating on the fact that we haven't 
actually seen 
a death penalty as such in the WW. Could it exist? Could it, just 
possibly, 
be manifsted in the form of beheading?>>

Ack!  You're scaring me
 Buckbeak as foreshadowing of what happens 
when you run afoul of the ministry


In this scenario, maybe the resurrection could be sort of a cleansing 
of the wizarding world
 Everyday wizards, shocked at this treatment 
of the Boy Who Lived, rise up and overthrow the ministry


Oh, I hope not.  I'd rather see Harry die in the lava, myself.

Cindy wrote about Harry's resurrection:
<<There might also be the Time Turner 
angle, but that's *way* too complicated, and JKR wouldn't *dare* 
dust off the Time Turner plot twist in the climactic scene in Book 
7, for cryin' out loud.>>

Oh, but she might.  Why do you think she used the Time Turner in PoA, 
anyway?  Didn't it seem a bit—tacked on?  Out of place?  I got the 
impression she was just setting up her time-travel "rules" so we 
would be familiar with them later on.  Maybe
 hmm.  ::has brain 
wave:: Maybe an older Harry saved *himself* that Halloween night?  
Maybe he used up his immortality-potential thing then?  And his life 
since then, has actually been his resurrection?

Caroline glares at Cindy challengingly, a bit put out that Cindy 
posted Imperious!Ron first.

There. Put that in your you-know-what and smoke it.  (No, Harry, not 
you!)
