Though the Past Darkly

There really is a wealth of fun and knowledge in old
discussion threads. Since we are talking about the
Nature of Dark Magic again, I tried to search out my
old posts about that subject. You know, 'There is dark
magic and then there is Dark Magic, the two not 
necessarily being the same'.

Haven't found it yet, but in the search I discovered
two other fun posts. Now, I hate to toot my own horn
but...NO WAIT... I love to toot my own horn; here are
a couple of threads that I thought might provide some
fun diversion, especially for the newer members.

The first is on The Science of Magic.

Is magic really science that muggles simply haven't 
discovered, or is it a unique form of genius, or
perhaps it is a blend. Perhaps, magical people merely
have the genius necessary to tap into the natural 
forces that have yet to be discovered by science.

The other thread is just me rambling on as I try to
guess the extent of Harry's fortune. Using my 
impression of 'mounds of gold' in Harry's vault and
the movie coins, I estimate Harry's wealth.

For the record, it is -

US $705,024

UK £440,640

or some multiple there of.

When I find the 'Dark Magic/dark magic' thread, I'll
post a link to that too.

Just for fun.
