Hmmmm... the Patronus Charm is considered "well beyond" O.W.L.

What does that say about our very own Harry??? Is his level of magic going to be powerful?

So I watched the second movie again and there are a lot of things I don't get about the whole series.

I guess HP as a baby almost killed that one main bad guy, who somehow shows up on the back of some guys head, then a younger version of himself. What's that about? Why is there such a beef between HP's family and this guy? What's so special about HP in the first place?

You have to read through the books, Heck. But, some answers really come out in book 5, and 6. There is a reason (at the end of book 5) why Voldemort attacked Harry Potter's family, killing his parents. But, because of the love that his mother had, in protecting Harry with her very life (and her love) it protected Harry from Voldemorts death spell.

As for the reason that he was on the back of the professors head.... it's because he wasn't "Whole" And in the second movie, he only existed through a spell that he made with that journal.

Voldemort is using dark magic, to bring himself back to life.

I read the 2nd & 3rd books, started the 4th but just want to see the movie. Then I will read the 5th and 6th. Guess I will be caught up after that.

I saw the 3rd movie after I read the book and there was a lot left out. I heard the same thing happened in the 4th movie.

Do you have any theories on how it all ties together? Are there still a lot of questions?

My mother got all into these books recently and told me who dies and who kills that person, big names, sucks it's ruined but at least I know what the deal is.

I swear the mother's love protecting Harry is such a cop-out. I sincerely hope we get a better explanation than that down the road... My personal theory is that Harry goes back in time before he was born to save Voldemort for some unknown and made up reason, therefore if he was to die when he was little it would cause a really bad time paradox dealy. I'm so convinced I'm right, I tell others to shut up when they try to give their opinions

HECK, there was much more left out in the fourth movie than in the third, though it doesn't feel as cramped as the third. But if you were to read the fifth book after seeing the fourth movie, there'd be a lot of references you just wont get... but the story would just continue along as usual, so you may not even notice.
