Continuing my re read of the Files. Good stuff. Previously, and I'm not sure why, GS never seems to stick with me for some reason. I've both read and listened to it. It's the odd one for me in the series. This time, it feels much better to me. Not sure if I'm just in the right mindset or what, but details are really sticking and I'm nearly done and I can't wait until the end and maybe restart it.

1st--Am I the only one who feels this way? Or out of all the novels, is this the one that doesn't hit a homeroom initially and you have to come back to it?

2nd--Harry as the Winter Knight. As a spirit, should Harry have been able to draw upon Winter? I mean, he was able to capitalize on his magical memories and use them as weapons...shouldn't he have been able to do the same with Winter? (And maybe even more so and to a more dramatic effect?)

Ok. Cheers and best to everyone!

I think it's been awhile, but I vaguely remember a discussion about what happens to Thomas. Can't remember exactly, but there's a moment in Harry's discussing the swords in Changes (again--rereading) and I've concluded that Amoracchius will banish his demon and leave him fully human. And then, he'll take up the sword. Or by taking up the sword of Love, he'll be able to keep his demon at bay.

I don't know---some combo of that. I'll go back and find what triggered it for me, but I'm sure I'm not the only one. Maybe Butters slices away the evil and leaves him fully human...

I don't know--just something. lol

Leave it in his jeans while doing the laundry and let the spin charge it?

That's along the lines of what I was thinking. Though, the water might delete the magic of them. Maybe ride a bike with the rings somehow attached to wheels.

Maybe this thread becomes a list of top ten ways to recharge Harry's rings! 

10. Spin cycle of the wahing machine (with possible issues)
9. Bicycle ride with rings attached to wheels
8. Mouse dries himself after a bath (Rotational velocity)
7.


Okay Folks! Add yours to the list!

Liking this theory.

Do we have confirmation that Kumori was killed in DB? That's the only hitch I can see so far.

If we consider Harry as a decent person even in the Mirror universe and makes a decision that, in effect, is decent (but questionable--ie. Molly helping her friends), then maybe something subtle becomes much more---adding up to him taking up the coin of Lashiel.

I'm most curious about how we'll find him in Mirror Mirror. Is he under the radar or out and hello on wheels, so to speak.

I'm rereading White Night and I'm wondering about Elaine more and more. Remember all the thinking that Elaine might be Kumori? I keep thinking about the mental whammy DuMorne played at with Elaine and any number of other things and think we certainly haven't seen the last of Elaine. I also wonder if she could be of the thinking that black magic isn't necessarily used for bad things like Kumori saving the man's life using necromancy. I haven't put my finger on it, but there's something prickling at the back of my brain. Maybe she's black council? She's anti white council based on her discussion with Harry about going before the WC. It's thin, but possible.

Anyway--Hope all are well.

Cool! Thanks for posting. Best of luck.
