Carol responds:

Unfortunately, this idea is somewhat undermined by Molly's wondering
in HBP whether hers is the only clock of its kind and whether the
hands of those other clocks would also point to Mortal Peril because
everyone in the WW is in danger (which makes me wonder why she's still
bothering to carry it around with her since it's only useful if it
moves to Mortal Peril from some other position. Also, FWIW, the clock
is depicted as a grandfather clock in other books and now suddenly
she's carrying it around in a laundry basket.)

Carol, who liked that clock and hoped it would play a more significant
role
