How did Fred and George know to say...

I solemnly swear I am up to no good?

I mean it's pretty specific, isn't it?

Any other HP questions you'd like to know the answers too? We can share our theories too.
NB: going through a depressive episode so talking about one of my teenage passions adult passions.

Lying Would have been weird for James & Tom Riddle to be friends, Tom opened the Chamber of Secrets 50 years earlier when he was in his 5th or 6th year so was about 68 at that point. I think Lily and James were very early 20s when they had Harry so would have been 32ish by the same point.

@WinkysTeatowel I assume the PP meant if they went to school at the same time.

I thought about the love potion angle but surely that would've been like Tom Riddle so Harry wouldn't know about real love either?

I reckon after that memory of Snapes Lily had it out with James and discovered deep down he's a nice bloke.

This is what I hope but other than having Sirius ( his best mate) constantly say what a great bloke he was we aren't shown a real reason why Lily would fall for him.

I'd love JK to write a series of prequels dealing with James etc being at school.

Winkys I have COMPLETELY lost track of their ages and the time/space continuum. Grin

I like that explanation, Fantastic... a nice guy underneath the bluster.

I do like the little touches here and there - Hermione's hair going frizzy when she mixes her Sleeping Death potion, while Harry - for once - is top of the class!

To be fair I have a friend who can appear arrogant and cocky but one to one he's a lovely person.

in PofA how does Harry see/save himself before he has gone back in time?

Soubriquet · 14/10/2018 18:23

That’s the time conundrum

Assuming he was always going to do it therefore he already did it

FantasticHarryPotter · 14/10/2018 21:46

It's the time loop thing kind of a reverse butterfly effect?

Anything space time confuses me!

I love to also guess what the events would be if a certain person didn't die or wasn't there especially Dobby.

Anyone also looking forward to Fantastic Beasts?

I could talk potter forever, I'm so excited for FB, Newt has topped my lost at my favourite character form the whole wizarding world I genuinely can't think of a better actor to play him either. HOWEVER I loath Jude Law with a passion and I will never accept him as Dumbledore so I'm worried it will put a dampener on the film for me. (I wanted James McAvoy if anyone cares)

I'm looking forward to a cursed child film, especially can rope the original potter cast in for it. I would like to see stage Scorpius and Albus in it though because I love them.

I like the idea that Fred and George saw Peter in Ron's bed for years, but didn't want to force him out the closet Grin They wouldn't necessarily have recognised the name I don't think?

FantasticHarryPotter · 17/10/2018 22:09

I agree about Jude Law but do love Newt. He's adorable really.
