Alectryomancy

I never post to this list, or at least I haven't in AGES, but...I 
thought about this in rereading PoA last night.

When harry buys unfogging the future the manager mentions several of 
its chapters including methods of divination and...bird entrails!

This just struck me as interesting because we know that the phoenix 
is obviously important to the plot (or at least enough so to have 
and order of something), and perhaps, just perhaps, fawkes could 
having something to do with all this and be useful in divination.( 
or any other phoenix)  The process of alectryomancy is usually done 
with a cock, but who knows the possibilities with a phoenix. 

I'm not saying that fawkes's entrails are what "order of the 
phoenix" refers to (though that's certainly an interesting thought), 
but it does seem likely that some connection could be made...

perhaps having to do with the first true prediction? hmmm...

Who uses ellipsis waaay too much and is now retreating back to the 
sunny land of lurkdom.

Fair ye well!
