Chapter 1: The Boy Who Lived
1. P 12. Dumbledore’s watch is just like the one Ron got for his birthday—does this mean something?
2. P 15. D refusal to remove scar—says they can be useful. In a way it did come in handy. How much can D. have known at the time? P. 12: “We can only guess… We may never know.”
3. P 15. Hagrid flew over Bristol to get to the Dursley’s, in Surrey. This can be a clue to the location of Godric’s Hollow. Quick, someone get a map of Britain!
4. Also, almost a whole day passed between Voldemort’s disappearance and the delivery of Harry to the Dursley’s. Was the house (or Harry) having special enchantments put on it during this time? Or what?
Chapter 2: The Vanishing Glass
1. P. 28. Boa Constrictor, Brazil. Can this be Nagini? (We don’t actually know if the snake was recaptured or not, but is seems likely it was.)
Chapter 3: The Letters From No One
1. P. 40. Could the milkman be the Creevy’s father? (Colin mentions his father in COS)
Chapter 4: The Keeper of the Keys
1. P. 55. “not jus’ then, anyway”—a hint that Voldemort will try to take over Hogwarts now that D. is gone?
2. P. 57. “Dunno if he had enough human left in him to die.”
Chapter 5: Diagon Alley
1. P 71. Quireell was in the Black Forest—was that where Voldemort was hanging out? Maybe Harry & co will be taking a trip to Eastern Europe next year & visiting their friend from Durmstrang.
2. 2. P 20 of the unofficial guide contains much speculation about whether or not the goblins might take sides in the war, and the consequences.
3. P 75. The sorcerer’s stone is in vault # 713. 7 is supposed to be the most powerful magic number, and 13… well, you know.
4. P 85. Harry “wasn’t sure he liked Mr. Ollivander too much.” Maybe he wasn’t taken by the Death Eaters after all, but went willingly? On the other hand, he said he was “sorry to say I sold the wand that did it.” And that Voldemort did great but terrible things.
