Discussion Question #4
Here is a tough one for you. If you could change one thing in the Harry Potter books, what would it be and why?

I agree with everything. Especially for 3). It makes me think that JKR got stuck in a formula for writing the HP books and thus wasn't flexible enough to consider alternatives, such as cutting the year off and casting The Trio into the world early. Not that anybody else pointed it out, either, but still.

Just thinking about the possibilities that open up if the Trio had fled before sixth year was up makes me want to write it....

5) all the way. Poor Neville, shunted aside before he got a chance to begin...

Do it! I'll read it. :D

LOL! Wasn't expecting encouragement, but hey, why not? As long as you're patient with me, because it could blow up beyond just a few possibilities....

Oh please, I am the queen of encouragement. I love fanfiction because I love to see possibilities and JKR created a world FULL of them.

The queen of encouragement, eh? Well and good, cuz I tend to give up on fics easily. :( Fanfic is great for unfulfilled possibilities. One of my favorite fanfic types is AUs, especially the ones where if you change one tiny thing, it changes the entire plot/situation/circumstances of the story. Amazing.

Speaking of possibilities, I wonder what the world would be like without Harry Potter? O__o

We'd have nothing but Twilight and I would have never picked up a book before in my life.

God I feel ill now. :(

Perish the thoughts, perish the thoughts! I'm sorry I brought it up. Ergh. *gives you stuff to make you feel better*
