Do you have a question, you always wanted to be answered? Are you unsure about events and/or their significance in the time before Harry's birth? Are their any loose ends you want to be tied together?
If so, please help us and post your suggestions here. We, in turn, will help you setting up polls or starting new topics. The idea behind is to make this forum a place of vivid, interesting discussions. If you don't want to post your ideas here, or if you don't want to go into details, feel free to send a PM to me or the other moderators of this forum. innkeeper_tom LL mod This post has been edited by innkeeper_tom: Sep 3 2007, 10:33 AM -------------------- *** OPAST (and proud of it) *** |

Well, since I'm not sure where else I could put these questions, I'll guess I'll start here. I'm currently watching PoA, and starting thinking about Herminone and Harry using the time travel watch. This is the watch she has been given so she could attend all sorts of classes at the same time. The watch was something the professors knew about. Seeing as the professors and probably DD knew about the watch, why couldn't Snape or anyone else for the matter, use this time travel watch to stop LV from murdering Harry's parents or use it to stop Tom Riddle from becoming LV?
My second question, how long were Lily and James supposed to stay in hiding...assuming Peter hadn't betrayed them? Until Harry grew up? |

 bjrA History of Magic is a forum for everything in the Harry Potter timeline before baby-Harry's defeat of You-Know-Who. So, although you've asked some interesting questions, they can not be considered as options for future topics in this forum. However, you might be interested to check out the Great Wizarding Events forum which includes topics covering PoA and in particular a discussion on Time Turners : Time travelling makes NO SENSE AT ALL. Also in Magical Theory there are some threads about Time Turners including Time Turners?] How would you make one? and I knew I would talk now, How you could talk to yourself from the future. --------------------   I'm 1 of the 99.99% W.L.Y.J.

This has probably been asked lots of times, but what did James and Lily do for a living before going itno hiding with Harry?
-------------------- 'I don't think you should be an Auror, Harry,' said Luna unexpectedly. 'They're working from within to bring down the Ministry of Magic using a combination of Dark magic and gum disease.'
'I've never Stunned anyone except in our DA lessons,' said Luna, sounding mildly interested. 'You're just as sane as I am.' |

QUOTE(orange fwooper @ Sep 5 2007, 01:15 PM)  This has probably been asked lots of times, but what did James and Lily do for a living before going itno hiding with Harry?  There are some threads that you may be interested to read, discussing theories about Lily & James's jobs, or where they got their money from. Here are a few examples : Hp's Mum And Pop's Jobs. What were James and Lily's professions? What Was James's Job? And, what was Lily's? The Potter's Riches, Where did James and Lily get the money?  -------------------- I'm 1 of the 99.99% W.L.Y.J.

I was wondering if we could start threads on each of the founders. Like Helga and the House Elf issues for instance...

Sure
 While there are threads in NMN about character analasys, or in Obscurus about slavery, having threads based upon pre-Book 1 Canon events and characters would fit just fine in this forum.

I would like to see more discussions on DD's young life. I would like to see discussion on his relationship w/ Grindwald including or excluding JKR's revelation.
I would also like to have some more discussion on McGonagal's work outside of Hogwart's. Nothing much is ever said about what she did for the Order, either b4 Harry defeated Voldy or in later years. I'm sure I'll think of more. --------------------   Never judge a book by its movie. ~J.W. Eagan |

Hi bookmonster! Why don't you just start a new thread on whatever you deem interesting? Or do you need help, like how to look for existing (perhaps older) threads, or maybe just concerning the technicalities? If so, please feel free to PM me or any other of the HoM mods.
