Questions for Jim 2012 style 2
Jebm:
I think he mentioned that when someone asked him what happened to the bear buckle that a lot of them were one use items in addition to being destroyed by the fire.
AcornArmy:
WoJ is that both Lash and Lasciel were either seen or mentioned in Ghost Story, but under different names. Were either Lash or Lasciel seen in Changes under different names?

I've got the beginings of a question, but it requires a bit of research to shore it up.
In White Night, Harry says something to the effect that no 2 wizards will enter the Never Never at the exact same point, because no two Wizards share the same set of emotions & thoughts (or something along those lines).
But from what we've seen in the series, this doesn't seem to work.
Everyone on the White Council uses the same entry/exit point for Chicago, or else what was the point in having Vince watch a single location?
Also, Maggie's gem. Seems to me, that Harry is using all the same entry & exits points she used to use.
And in Ghost Story, Harry told Molly that an opening close to Corpsetaker's HQ, would get him in the same NN general area. Which again, makes me not fully understand what Harry was on about in White Night.
Then I'd ask if Jim could explain this all.
The problem here, is that my views are a bit long winded & don't come to the point. Plus, my memory might be faulty & I'm missing some points.
I intend to do the research into this, but if anyone wants to take this question & do the footwork, I'm fine with this.

I’ve thought about this too, and have an idea of how it might work…
In any random location two different wizards would open up ways into the NN at two different points – it has been stated in the books.
But also in the books there are established WAYS that lead, for example, from nearby Edinburgh to the ex meat packing house that was used by everyone and their brother in TC. These WAYS I have assumed were paths worn into the fabric of the NN. Therefore just about any wizard standing in the right spot at one end of a WAY, will open a way and end up at a set spot on the other side. Why? My guess is that prior and semi regular use of a way turns it into a WAY.
So using my ideas Harry might be in the NN and need to scram fast to avoid capture or detection by a bad guy. When Harry pops into the real world he discovers that it is someplace in LA and not too far from Carlos.
So days later, the danger having pasted, Harry could revisit either end of the way he opened and reuse it a few times. Then he could take Carlos thru as well. This might be sufficient to anchor each end of the way making it a WAY that just about any wizard could use.
Follow me?
Goofy idea?
