Ken;

Time and distance may matter in magic but they are no barrier to 
this author. If she wanted to she could make it happen by Halloween
97 but I don't expect that she does or will.

There is not a lot of time to fill to conclude the story on Halloween 98.
Many of us wonder how she will manage to tie everything up in one
book, much less one year. At the rate DD was finding and destroying 
Horcruxes Harry should still be looking for them as we speak. I don't
see any reason to disallow the Halloween theory. What facts do I need 
to twist to make it fit?
