Valky again:
Thanks Finwitch, I guess I will have to now I committed to it won't
I.. :D
Actually I do have an explaination. The plot construction puzzle is
this: Everything under the trapdoor is in each and every book. And
can be found scattered throughout the whole series.
The Three-Headed-Dog: The guard Always encountered before you embark
on your journey; the Dursleys usually, we always have to go through
them to get to the story underneath. Fluffy = Muggles
The Devils Snare: Leading down the garden path usually done at the
beginning of the story. The more you struggle with it the tighter it
grips you.
The Winged Key: the elusive good old fashioned nugget concealed in
thosuands of clues, opens the door to the ......
Wizard Chess Room: Which is of course, the architecture of the tale.
The Troll - Something quite formidable but fortunately, has been
dealt with - as in the wand brothers in GOF, the Timeturner in
POA. We get the full story early in the game but we don't see it.
The Logic Puzzle: is the elements of the twist in the tale - In Cos
the Diary, the spiders etc in POA the Map , Lupins Boggart etc..
And finally the Mirror; you come to at the end only to discover that
what you came for is right there in your hot little hands, already.
Now all I have to do is translate that to the series. Isolate the
elements of the Logic puzzle snatch the *right* winged key out of
the many like it (remembering its a bit broken like someone before
me had handled it roughly) and open the door to the chess room,
while of course avoiding the garden path and Identifying the troll
which has been dealt with sometime early in the peice and not
worrying too much about playing the music to the three headed
dog..... and voila JKR may never need write book seven! ;D
Then again maybe not.
It's as simple as that....
we get to book seven and see ourselves in the mirror holding the
answer we sought, already.
> Of course, in the 4th book, Harry's facing a bit of repetition -
yet another series of obstacles. He has 3 tasks (3 books left).
>
> Pass a dragon/saving people who aren't truly in danger/maze.
>
> Seems like that mid-task presented the 5th book...

Thanks for noting that repitition Finwitch. That's what got me
thinking about taking this tack... so I guess I should visit TBAY
and christen a new enterprise... :D
Let's see the HP Sleuth's Bible? That's not too presumptious is
it? ;D
