Harry's New House Set Up

[Bad Alias]

The printing technology is old, so it wouldn’t have rotted even if it is newer than WW2. If someone built for Harry a replica of the Blue Beetle it would still work even though brand new because the tech isn’t. Harry could use a modern replica pocket watch provided it has a clockwork as opposed to quartz movement.

I don't know if that's true. It could be. I also think that a more mechanical device would work better than one that relies on electronics. We have seen in the books that newer guns work better than older guns. This might just be a soft retcon of guns jamming frequently in older books, but newer guns are often much more reliable than older models. On the other hand, some companies don't have the best quality control but used to have excellent quality control, so older models are much more reliable.

The svartalves can set up a shield for that along with hot water and a decent heating system.

Yes, but I don't think the svartalves helping Harry now.

[Arjan]

Yes, but I don't think the svartalves helping Harry now.

They did when Harry wanted his Lab back.

[Dina]

That was before discovering that Thomas was missing and than Harry is engaged to his sister.

[Conspiracy Theorist]

Besides it mean’t they got rid of Harry.

Would be nice to know when they discovered that and what the reaction was.  A tidbit of info that was glaringly missing from the end of BG.

It surprised me that they just beat Thomas without any "who are you working for" questioning. Just assuming it was white court sanctioned seems lazy for such obsessively thorough people.

I'm still thinking they might have a mole in their organization who arranged for him to be beaten unconscious rather than interrogated. I doubt "Nemesis made him do it" is going to settle things with them at this point, but if Harry can indeed exorcise Justine, getting her to ID a mole and then curing him or her as well might mollify them enough to settle for Lara paying a weregild.

Yes, Justine needed Thomas at the edge of death so Harry would have no choice but to take him to the island.

Yeah, there were chunks of the story cut out to keep up the surprise of Harry grabbing the castle out from under Marcone so we really aren't entirely sure why Evanna lied and helped Harry without so much as a glare.

[Conspiracy Theorist]

And still I guessed this from a casual comment by Jim in a Peace Talks Q &A, about using the diamonds to buy a basketball goal for the Great Hall.

Bad Jim, Bad, (hits him on the nose with a rolled up newspaper).

If you engineer a book for a particular surprise, do not casually give that surprise away in an offhand comment.

[Dina]

Well, Harry had been whining a lot about how much he missed his lab, his things, he had spend much of PT suffering for it and I thought there would be perhaps a small chance of him going back to his lab. At the time it seemed almost impossible but I tried to imagined him and Marcone reaching a sort of deal so Harry could still use the basement. Then, I've read the same comment that you mentioned and I said "oh, I was right. Apparently, it would be even better". I did not saw him "evicting" Marcone, to be honest. So yes, Jim said too much.

Very much so! Specially if the next thing we see is 6 months later, in Christmas. We need to know what happened about that and which is Thomas official status with the Signataires now.

  Evanna knows the truth, that might be why, she still might feel bad about Thomas. She went along because of Molly, so is kind to Harry.  But I too found is very odd that Thomas was so badly beaten before they could ask questions.  Or they beat him up after they asked questions, because they could.  Thomas was still her lover at one time and she might not of wanted to draw attention to that.

The Legendarium podcast indicates that Harry can use Bob as a home cinema, streaming, internet, etc so all he really needs is a decent projection screen.

Oh and he is going to have Gargoyle Pitbulls.

And there is an extra book called Twelve Months.

[Dina]

Ooooh, that will be a significant update for Harry! He definitely needs to begin chatting with the Alphas, the knights, the paranetters...and Ivy. Bradley too, probably

I've commented about the book in another thread.

[Conspiracy Theorist]

Yeah Jim said that Bob can pick up the entire electromagnetic spectrum, has previous broadcast on radio, acted as a projector and he and Butters figured out how to connect him to the internet, so Bob is going to hack a neighbour’s WiFi, Prime, Netflix, Hulu, Disney etc as soon as possible in his quest to become the Intellectus of Porn. Bob is very nerdy himself so yes they are going to watch things like the Mandalorian, just so Jim can have Harry use “This is the Way”. Bonea could do the same for Maggie, but with a child lock.

There must be a scene with Bob giving a PowerPoint presentation.

Shared cultural experience is important to prevent isolation and depression, (Nicodemus knows this he created a sub culture for the squires.) Twelve Months is about Harry finally healing from all his trauma, so this will likely be part of it, he has been falling behind now this can catch up, have TV nights with his daughters, and friends, just gossip about new films and shows, maybe even get into gaming (I imagine a bone gaming controller with all the buttons marked out like Bob’s runes).

It would be terribly good for Harry just to sit and watch all of Looney Tunes with his daughters and Mouse on a dark wet day.
