I can't remember which thread this was mentioned in because there have been a few already. BUT I got copies of Harry Schoolbooks (the Quidditch thru the ages and Fantastic Beasts...) on half.com the other day. Real cheap too. So if any of you are looking, try ebay and half.com. It is coming in the box set. Apparently Amazon has them for like $10 too. Just in case anyone was looking.

So in my complete and utter boredom I have been reading various websites and theories about Harry Potter.
There is one called The Changeling Hypothesis.
I haven't got all the way through it yet, but I don't think JKR is going to have something so complex in her book. She started writing these for children and if things get too complex in her books younger children just won't understand them.
The Changeling Hypothesis is so complex and over the top I have to say...ummm, no, never going to happen.

Does it take a really long time to load???? It keeps freezing my browser...
ETA: nevermind... it's IE on a Mac... Blah!
ETAA: Ok I just finished the Changeling... and I gotta say I have gone cross-eyed. It's so far fetched that it just might work. But yes Emily, I agree that I think a lot of young readers will be beyond lost it J.K suddenly went into the whole "Harry Potter is really Tom Riddle's soul... blah blah" story. Hell, it got me confused. Too much going back and forth.
And the whole story of Tom confuses me. I am re-reading GOF and you know how it goes into that whole story of the Riddle's in the beginning? It said that THREE people were killed that night. Tom's dad, Tom's mom, and Tom himself. However if Voldemort IS Tom... did he essentially kill himself? I guess that's where the whole "Voldemort is a spirit looking for a body" theory from the Changeling makes more sense. And so whatever soul inhabited Tom somehow got mixed up with Harry and yadda yadda yadda... oy... confused. Anyone care to shed light? I guess I need to re-read COS, but even then, the whole Tom/Voldy relationship still didn't clear up much.
