Based on chadu's post, I'm a bit confused...

The quote from DB p404 doesn't synch with Jim's response...

To me it looks like we're actually talking about two different things - one is where Harry remembers seeing Carlos, which is the Council meeting in SK (young apprentice hiding his grin).

The other is Carlos' knowledge of Harry (DB p 404) - he says he was an apprentice at the time of Harry's trial RE DuMorne, not that he was at the trial. I haven't seen anything that says someone couldn't be an apprentice at age 8-10... didn't Justin come get Harry when he was 10? I would think that you can become an apprentice at whatever age your magic begins to manifest, as long as someone takes you in.

Maybe this is a moot point, since it's been a while since the last post. I was just trying to work through the references and Jim's response. Sometimes it helps if I spell it out. (Bad pun not intended)

I agree with you that Jim's comment and the quote from Carlos seem a little at odds. To me, the wording in Carlos' quote sounds like he was referring to the trial when Harry was 16. I think we have to assume it was just a slip in word craft.

On the other hand, yes, I think apprentices would start when their talent emerged for safety sake considering that the lack appears to produce warlocks on a regular basis. Harry and Elaine seemed to have blossomed around 10, somewhat later for Molly.

SEGY is a type of tape format and Word wanted to substitute SEXY until I fixed my dictionary. I wonder how many reports have gotten through without someone catching it.

I did try to search this area before I posted this since it seems like it would have been asked.

Why don't we have a spell checker? We perfectists are in pain. I actually drop most of my posts into an email first to do a spell check.

Wow, I thought it just meant that you couldn't copy the DVD. That would sure put a crimp in my viewing plans.

You know these arguments are virtually the same ones that come up with the "thou shall not kill" Commandment in the Bible. How many thousands of years has that discussion been going on? It seems likely that the WC would have come to the same conclusions that society has in general - the grey areas are covered under things like negligent homicide and manslaughter with gradational punishments going on up to premeditated murder and the death penalty. A vote of the WC or SC is substituted for a jury and/or judge. The final decision will be based on human instinct and probably, some politics.
