June:
I agree with Shelley. It is logical that with Buckbeak set for
execution, Dumbledore did know at the time what he was going to do
in the future and kept them from looking out the window. What
confuses me though is was the American version so different that
all three of them went back in time? In the version I have Ron is
in the hospital wing, but this is the second time someone has said
all three of them went back in time. I think we should all trade
books, it will be like reading new books for all of then lol.
