Sienna, I've replied to all of your posts in one.

Me (Lauraisa):

But, Harry's scar connection with Voldemort gives him insight in GoF 
before OotP. He gets dreams from Voldemort's point of view, first 
when he kills Frank Bryce, also when he is Divination class dreaming 
about Voldemort and Wormtail. This is before OotP, so it doesn't fit 
in your parallel.

Me (Laurasia):

Call me crazy, but I don't consider a broken leg a serious injury... 
It was mended in a second wasn't it? In fact, Ron getting all the 
bones in his leg removed would be more serious, yet we know that'd 
still only require one night in the School Infirmary. Wouldn't his 
reaction to the Acromantuala in CoS be considered more serious? 
Wouldn't the brain attack in the DoM be more serious? He was knocked 
out cold in PS. In fact, so far the only book he wasn't injured in 
was GoF. So, I don't see how a broken leg in Book 3 predicts maybe 
death for Ron in Book 6.

Me:

But they have fights in every book...  The Triwizard Cup, the Yule 
Brawl, the midnight duel, not telling Harry anything in letter, etc. 
It's a characteristic of every book, not just PoA, that we see some 
unease amongst the trio.

Me:

But surely there are more characters more important than Charlie who 
don't fit this parallel? What about Myrtle who is the key to finding 
the opening of the CoS, and Colin Creevey who is petrified? Dobby? I 
could make up a parallel of any two HP books I like. I've decided to 
say that Book 2 and Book 4 parallel each other. Here is a list I came 
up with just then:

Myrtle appears in Book 4, and the only time before than in Book 2. 

Dennis Creevey appears in Book 4, but Colin Creevey appeared in Book 
2.

We see acromantula in Book 2, then again in Book 4.

Harry goes to the Burrow in Book 2, then in Book 4.

The Quidditch Cup gets called off in Book 2 and Book 4 (for different 
reasons).

The DADA teachers loses his mind in Book 2, and his soul in Book 4.

The three Tasks of Book 4 parallel the three attacks of the basilisk 
on Hogwart's students Book 2. 
-The first where only Cedric gets seriously injured on his face 
parallel's Colin's camera held up to his face shielding him from the 
basilisk.
- The second where Harry getting Fleur's sister because she couldn't 
make it parallels Justin getting the basilisk's stare, because Nick 
couldn't die from it.
-The third where Penelope and Hermione hold up a mirror and facing 
the peril on the basilisk together parallel Cedric and Harry taking 
the cup together and facing the peril of Voldemort together.

Harry uses a bathroom as a location to prepare a tactic for 
discovering who the heir of Slytherin is in Book 2 , and again uses a 
bathroom to discover a tactic for overcoming the Second Task in Book 
4.

The four champions who try to get to the Cup (3 male, 1 female) 
mirror the four people who get into the Chamber (3 male, 1 female). 
One attacks another (Krum attacks Cedric, Lockhart attacks Harry), 
the girl is put in peril by a magical attack (By Riddle, by Barty 
Jnr) and hence taken out of the race. Only two of the four finally 
make it to the very end. One is killed by Voldemort's orders, the 
other is very nearly killed by Voldemort.

Phoenix song? The two times we hear it in battle- In CoS and GoF.

Harry is attacked and injured by a beast with poisonous fangs in both 
CoS and GoF (acromantula).

The two times Fawkes heals Harry's wounds? CoS and GoF.

Snape puts Harry in detention in both CoS and GoF. Both times Ron 
also gets detention at the same time for the same event (Flying car, 
yelling at Snape).

Both years Harry doesn't have to sit any end of year tests, being 
called off for the whole school in Book 2, and being excused because 
he's a champion in Book 4.

Both books see Voldemort making an attempt to reclaim his old body. 
First the old body he had as a 16 year old boy, and secondly the old 
body he had as an evil overlord.

The only two times when we've seen scenes from Tom Riddle's youth? In 
CoS and GoF. Both times an innocent person gets the blame for Tom's 
actions (Hagrid, Frank Bryce).

The only two accounts of Tom Riddle killing anyone in his youth? 
Myrtle in Book 2, and his family in Book 4. All of whom were muggles 
or muggle-born.

In GoF Fawkes's tail feather in Harry and Voldermort's wands cause 
then to battle alone. Because of these cores the wands then give 
Harry the ghosts who help him. In CoS Fawkes wounds the basilisk 
gives Harry the Sorting Hat and Sword to help him, enabling Harry and 
Tom Riddle to fight alone.

Myrtle and Ginny both fancy Harry in CoS, paralleling the multitude 
of girls who ask Harry to the Ball in GoF.

Harry has to take a medicinal potion to heal his wounds in both books-
 Skel-Gro and Pepper up after the Second task.

Harry's arm is injured- first by the bludger and Lockhart in CoS, 
then by the Dragon in GoF.

Dobby first appears in Book 2, then not again until Book 4.

Dobby's parallel character, Winky, first makes her appearance in GoF, 
whilst, as above, he first appearance was in CoS.

Something big is released about Hargid's past- why he was expelled, 
and about his family.

Hagrid is suspected of being untrustworthy0 first by Fudge, secondly 
because he is revealed to be half Giant.

Polyjuice potion is used in both books.

*******

Half if these aren't very convincing, or else are inconsequential, 
but I could keep going. As you can see, there is a way of linking any 
of the HP books to each other.
To give some quick examples of how this can fit in with other books, 
if any one wants a starting point to make a list of their own:

3/5
Time Turners are used in Book 3, then again we see then in Book 5.
We see Beaky in Book 3, then in Book 5.
Qryffindor with the Quidditch Cup in Book 3 and Book 5.
We see Lupin first in Book 3, and not again until Book 5.
Harry first notices Cho Chang in Book 3, and then goes out with her 
in Book 5.
We first see Dementors in Book 3, and then not again until Book 5. 
And Harry is nearly sucked both times.
The DADA teacher has a connection to half-breeds, either being one or 
despising them.


2/3
We see the Whomping Willow in Book 2, then Book 3. 
Harry spends a night in The Leaky Cauldron in Book 2,  then Book 3.
The first time we hear about Azkaban is when Hagrid goes there in 
Book 2. Then we see Sirius escape from it on Book 3.

4/5
Harry goes to see Dumbledore in his office in Book 4, and in Book 5.
Harry uses a penseive in both Book 4 and Book 5.
Harry has dreams from Voldemort's point of view in Book 4 and 5.
Both books have a newspaper campaign about Harry, both of which try 
to discredit him.


I'm sure with 10 or so minutes we could all add dozens of facts to 
these lists.

Me:

I don't meant o put any more of a dampener on your theory, but 
*every* book has a major change in Harry's life. ;-) And I agree 
totally with you, but I don't think anyone needs a mirrored book 
theory to make a guess that Harry will end up saving the world.

That theory was very interesting indeed. 

A short summary for anyone not familiar:
3-headed dog parallels 3 headed Quirrel [poor stuttering Quirrel, mad 
insane Death Eater Quirrel, and Quirelmort]. 
Devil's Snare with `snake like tendrils.' And `ensnaring people' like 
the covert basilisk does in secret.
Keys = marauder's map which is the key to Lupin and Snape arriving in 
the Shack. 
Chessboard where you have to make a sacrifice to win = Cedric dies 
but Dumbly has `gleam of triumph.' 

This post was make before OotP. They said that Troll shows someone 
else does the battle for Harry [Could be: Dumbly fighting Voldemort 
in MoM] that losing Troll is losing another protection for the stone 
[Could be: Harry and the MoM possession- Voldemort loses the abiltiy 
to possess Harry. Harry gains a protection... well, sort of.] 
Book 6 should mirror logic and also spliting of forces [when Hermione 
has to turn around and leave Harry]. And Harry seeing himself in the 
mirror predicts Book 7 should be Harry vs. Harry. Harry versus that 
badness inside him. Which I think is a pretty good prediction. 

I disagree with Book 3 keys significance, however. I think a better 
symbolic link could be that the keys are really a sign on the Time 
Travel incident. Think the Butterfly Effect. Where there are 
thousands of possible futures possible at any given second, but only 
one will take you where you want to go. 

I also just made up a theory just then that how there's link between 
the task's creators and the resolution to each of the 7 books. 
Hargid = friendship- the *love* stops Voldy. 
Sprout = Grows the Mandrakes that save the petrified.
Flitwick = Sirius is in Flitwick's office, which enables Harry to 
save him.
McGonagall = McG is the person who witnesses destruction of Barty 
Jnr. 
Quirrel was possessed, Harry's possession ends up saving his life.
And it's not very far to stretch to assume that Snape should do 
something great in the next book, and finally Dumbledore finishes it 
all off in Book 7.

Anyway, I hope that I've given you all enough to think about.

Who laughed when Sienna apologised for the length of her posts, as 
she herself always write far longer posts and never thought to 
apologise for those who tediously read them.
