Serack's Proven Guilty workup [Spoilers for the whole series]

I love the idea of Harry having to Prisoner of Azkaban it. But instead of conjuring a Patronus he has to shoot himself in the back during Changes. I also relish the possibility that JB will have Harry use multiple different TT tropes. Harry has always been aware of pop/geek culture. I'm not saying he's gonna get in a Tardis but Harry has mentioned Buckaroo Bonzai, a greatly underappreciated time travel film.  Yeah, I said it, film.

I think Harry inadvertently tapped into a time manipulation.   That motorcycle, as we see in Cold Days, has a history with time travel.  It is also likely that Cold Days isn't the first time it rode with The Wild Hunt.  Thomas rode that motorcyle in Dead Beat, I believe.  He did get pulled into the Hunt then.  It's also a vehicle strongly resistant to active mortal magic.

Keen observations!  If I get the chance some day, I'll ask if Murph has had the same bike through the series, and if it's having been involved as a conveyance in so many significant supernatural events, has resulted in it's gaining its own power like you've mentioned an athame can. 

Time to nomnom more responses.

bigdangmoose:
The idea of the motorcycle gaining power is an interesting one.

Now, here's an idea for a TT plot. It's been thrown around that JB had said that he had an idea for one of the books that involved Harry being in a mental institute. What if that is the part that starts everything off. Harry goes to bed one night, say after a night at Will and Georgia's playing games, and wakes up the next day in the asylum. He finds that all of his friends have turned their backs on him except Michael. And through talking through Michael, he finds out that the events of PG were altered. And the day he was gone in PG plays a part of it. That the black magic going around Chicago wasn't just Molly, but some other bigger player. And TTHarry needs to make sure that PGHarry finds Molly while TTHarry takes care of the bigger issue.

Think Men in Black 3. I know, not a great movie, but interesting TT plot.

Cyberchihuahua:
A small item, but maybe TTH locked up Pell's theater in order to keep Murphy from going inside and getting killed by the guard Fetches.

peregrine:
On the one hand, what history with time travel does the motorcycle have other than what we see during Cold Days?

On the other hand, I think Jim has mentioned something about how Murph's bike doesn't seem to have any problems operating despite the massive amounts of magic Harry is wielding right next to it.
