You basically have to ignore previous thought about it, and just take what we have been told by JK in this series.
is exactly right, as I see it anyways. and no, you cannot change history at all, becuase it has already happened. Harry and Hermoine didnt' change anything. They were just doing two different things in different places, at the same time.Boycey wrote:it seems nothing is altered because you see life as how it was when it was altered
So, someone could not go back in time to when Voldie was little and kill him... because it didnt' happen... make sense?
And I know that you are not saying that they are the same, but to continue to use the time machine for an example, time travel worked very different in that circumstance (btw, I only saw the movie, never read the book!) While it was true that similarily, he couldnt' change the basic jist of the past, he could still do different things... not so in HP... they dont' change anything that has happened, they can't.
An I just repeating myself??? *hrmm, I never know when I do that!!!*
Anyways, that's my understanding of it all!
