Instead she's chosen a limited omniscient narrator who
usually but not always tells the story from Harry's perspective.
Occasionally she chooses another POV character--or none at all. In at
least three instances that I mentioned in my previous post, she
reports events that Harry is unaware of from an outside perspective,
which could arguably be either third-person omniscient or third-
person
dramatic.\
Whenever these parts happen in the story doesn't it end up that
Harry is dreaming about them? So technically wouldn't it still be
from Harry's point of view, but a dream at that.
