no, i didn't think he was a tim hunter ripoff. i just wondered if anyone thought so (having heard as much). seems to me they're both extracted from the precepts of historical magic lore: primarily druidic on hunter's side, whilst potter contains elements from a wide range of cultural legend and mythology.
so clearly my question was fishing for a bite so i could point out that very little in either story is in fact an original cultural concept, ie they're both 'ripoffs' (not meant in a bad way) of things quite ancient.
Re: a proper question then:

well, jk says that you have to have a burning desire to be a ghost - eg the traditional unfinished business! Or. like Nearly Headless Nick, who says he is too afraid of death to leave.
I have a question:
In the Prisioner of Azkaban, Harry and Hermione go up against a lot dementors in the end and Harry blanks out. They use the Time Turner to go back in time, and at first, Harry thinks that he sees his dad saving him, but with a closer look he realizes that he is watching himself. How come Harry didn't remember this?? And does Harry possess great powers that he doesn't know about??
Like you said rogue, he uses a timeturner, for that he wouldn't remember it, because the "future " Harry conducts the Patronus Charm without beiing seen by his earlier counterpart.
He probably does have great powers, but the source of his powers is his believe. If he does believe he can do something, he probably can.
Don't ask me how i know this, because i don't have any legitimid proove.
It's rather a hunch.
I also have a question:
Do any of you guys (and girls) know any good fan fiction of Harry Potter that are complete.
I m waiting for anticipation for the 6th "official" book, but since that's gonna take a while, i like to read some fic's.
I would be very pleased if either one of you could give me some help.
PS: already took a look at schnoogle, fan fiction and sugarquill and read the best, so looking for others. PLEASE HELP!
Been there, done that.
But thanks anyway and celestial: i like a romance in a story but not that kinda thing that goes only about the relationship, if you know what i mean. I m searching for a kinda fic like "Harry Potter and the Psychic Serpent" or "Harry Potter and the Sword of the Hero", those wore excellent ( although the sword of the hero isn't complete yet). Dunno if you guys ever read them, but those were great and I m kinda looking for those like them.
But really thanks for trying to help, really appreciate it. Thanks a million and zillion times 😄

.....but i'm new here as you maybe can see.......
Yes I can see that you are new. Soooooooooo obvious.
Why would we wanna name it ask Emma Watson. Hermione is smart. Emma is not.
And this is a Harry Potter forum not an Emma Watson forum.
