Hello All,
I was watching Harry Potter & the Philosopher's Stone on DVD the 
other night when, all of a sudden, it hit me! The Prophecy in Order 
of the Pheonix contradicts a major storyline in Harry Potter and the 
Goblet of Fire. As we found out at the end of Goblet of Fire, when 
Harry Potter and Lord Voldemort try to duel, their wands refuse 
because of their shared core. Eventually Priori Incantatem occurs in 
one wand after a cage/light linking incident. 

The Prophecy states something along the line of Harry or Voldemort 
must murder the other for the remaining to live. However unless I'm 
forgetting something, in order to do so, they must duel. I can't see 
either going silently or unwillingly, can you? 

I'm curious to see how J.K Rowling is going to work around this!
Emma
