Kizor:
I'm afraid I've had another of my sleep-loss-induced Bright Ideas.
So what we need is a couple of fourth-wall-breaking hints in book six,
and some more in book seven, hinting that JKR is in fact chronicling
actual events and has managed to get away with it by [INSERT PLAUSIBLE
REASON HERE]. Then the final chapter of the seventh book makes it
clear that there's going to be a huge, life-changing revelation on the
actual way of the world on the last page...

...and the end of the book looks literally like the last page had been
ripped out of it. No doubt they could make some kind of machine for
this job.

Hans:
That's NOT funny! 

I'll tell you why. Because that is precisely how "The Alchemical Wedding of
Christian Rosycross" ends!

I quote the end of "The Alchemical Wedding":
'Now after they had all spoken friendlily to me for a while, and at last
given their hands, committing me to the Divine protection, I was conducted
by both the old men, the Lord of the Tower, and Atlas, into a glorious
lodging, in which stood three beds, and each of us lay in one of them, where
we spent almost two, &c.....

(Here about two leaves in quarto are missing, and he (the author of this),
whereas he imagined he must in the morning be doorkeeper, returned home.)'

Now be honest, Snow, where did you get this idea? Is this truly original or
will you confess you got it from "The Alchemical Wedding"?

As 99.9% of members of this group will know, I claim that Harry Potter and
"The Alchemical Wedding" are inspired by the same source, but this is one
similarity between the two that I DEFINITELY would NOT enjoy! Don't do that
to us Jo! Please.

Kizor: 
This has been your late-night Kizor hour. It's like comedy, only
without all the funny parts.

Hans:
You can say that again!
