It is one of the main plot point of Significant Digit, a HPMOR FanFiction, dubbed by EY as the one who would be cannon if any one were

Legimency

Harry petrock "died", which led him to reject having a pet owl. This led him to be free not to care about feeding it. Maybe there is more

That was HJPEV original guess as soon as he heard about this game

This was the first lines of the book

Might by Karkaroff: he is a delinquant for having sold many death eater to protect himself Probably Lucius according to Harry

Probably Amycus Carrow (because Ami is french for Friend). Or one of the Lestrange given that they are already known for rape

McNair

Probably Barty Crouch Jr.

The Grim is probably Sirius, a friend of James and Lily

the name of a Vulcan ritual in Star Trek used to reunite a Vulcan's katra (i.e. spirit) with his body. (Thanks to Stefan).

Thanks to Mike Kellogg

the phrasing is a deliberate semi-translation of "Bring back, bring back, bring back my body to me (to me)," which is a playful reference to the chorus of "My Bonnie Lies Over The Ocean" (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/My_Bonnie_Lies_over_the_Ocean), which goes "Bring back, bring back, oh bring back my Bonnie to me."

According to ThroughgfulPoster

in canon, the spiders are effrayd of the Basilisk. Seeing spider is recall that the Basilisk is not anymore

TRIGGER WARNING: This is a reference to a SCP. Essentially, it is a torture spell. Links with more details

It probably means that, out of the 30 hours a day, 24 were spent in the mirrors waiting and only the extra 6 from time turner were available for anything extra

«I show not your face but your coherent extrapolated volition» The mirror seems to be a metaphor for artificial general intelligence. In this case, it seems to indicate that the mirror reflects the reality so well that you see not only the result of what you really wish, but their consequence over the world, this would hopefully allow to prevent unwanted unexpected consequences

This is a Cameo. It's also the name of two people having wikipedia page, but it's only a coincidence

That means that Quirrell would not wish Harry dead nor be indifferent to it

As far as I can tell, it makes no sens. Anything blaming Lucius would still be as blaming with Hermione outside of Azkaban. His crime would be smaller as no innocent is near Dementor anymore, but still a huge crime

Right: She is dead

That's Canon's location

This is actually what he did when HJPEV's patronus intercepted his Avada Kedavra while he suffered

Spoiler for the HPMOR FanFiction Significant Digit.

The plant like magic. It grows with magic and capture it. This make it a perfect shield for electronic, ensuring that computer isolated by those plants can work in magical environment

According to eudict it can be translated as

a puppet moved by sticks in the hands of another

it seems to come from Montaigne's Les Essais

In an earlier discussion, Quirrell mentionned the most obvious professor to be memory charmed would be Sinistra, since nobody would be surprised to see her do strange things. Harry objected that it should be Sprout, that nobody would ever suspect. This shows Harry was listened too

The prophecy stated: "the Dark Lord will mark him as his equal"

Note that the prophecy is HPMOR is the same as the one in Canon. The interpretation is not.

The only grade lower is "T" which stands for "Troll"

This is both a rejection to get an answer, and the actual answer

Reference to Evangeline A.K. McDowell

As was shown by the "Good..." a few chapters ago

Eneasz Brodski is the person who created HPMOR Podcast, played the roles of Harry, Quirrell and Draco, is a founder of the podcast Bayesian Conspiracy. But not playing the role of Auror Brodski

Alicorn is also a LW user who wrote some fictions. I especially recommend Alternate Universe Social Justice and (Earthfic)[http://alicorn.elcenia.com/stories/earthfic.shtml)

Paris and Buchholz Hydra are two theoretical games, in the field of game theory. Essentially, the game may be arbitrarily long, but all plays are winning https://googology.wikia.org/wiki/Buchholz_hydra

Patronus

During the last battle against bully, during the invocation of HJPEV

You'll find the translation on this chapter footnote

Almost say "goodbye" which would mean Quirell would kill Harry

Here are references to other stories. Spoiler from those stories, copied from https://libredd.it/r/HPMOR/comments/1ij4iz/chapter_95_discussion_thread_chapter_95_spoilers/cb562aa

Elric Brothers - Fullmetal Alchemist

Dora Kent - A cryonic suspension case. Curious to have that be a wizard story.

Ronald Mallett - Does time research. Complicated physics stuff about lasers and time.

Precia Testarossa - villain from Magical Girl Lyrical Nanoha

Akemi Homura - Puella Magi Madoka Magica

Basic geometry. Quirrel does not know where Harry is but he can fill the distance to Harry If he start at position A, he can move in any direction to try to get closer to Harry. Once he find such a direction, he moves in straight line and find a second point B at the same distance from Harry than A. Harry is on the Bisector of A and B

Irony being that Neville tells Harry mostly what Harry told Minerva

At this point, I suggest Bookmarking Harry Potter and the philosopher's Zombie which is a (great) HPMOR fanfiction splitting at this point of time by Alexander Wales

When McGonagall asked Harry why he thinks he needs the healer kilt, he mentionned this scene. A friend dying and accusing Harry of it

This quote, slightly modified, was repeated many time during Black Lives Matter

Personally, I especially love the surprised tweet of the people discovering it comes from an Harry Potter fan fiction

The author, in the podcast We want More, explained that she is a Mary Sue, except there is one better. It seems Harry did notice it

Canon book 4 plot

And, as he'll tell later, that was actually his plan. Once again, revealing his plans without nobody noticing it

It seems many tried and failed. Not really nice to say this of them

Too bad he actually hears them thrice

Given that this term is now linked to Grindewald, it seems unlikely

This simple sentence means that they actually knew the prophecy. Knew that they may die, and that saving their son may be related to the Dark Lord defeat. Change all meaning of their last days

As with Rita Skeeter, it says "good bye/night" before killing

Cameo: a less wrong username

That is: did he fell in the same trap than Gridewald?

As already established, Grindewald believed he was acting for "the greater good"

With high probability, this entire line of history, Atlantis, Merlin, the risks that should be stopped, seems to be a metaphor, for the author main goal, ensuring that AI is correctly aligned

Nice of Quirrell to tell the truth

Canon, book 4, of the defense professor

Good guess. It was done when Hermione encountered the dark cloak trying to "help" her, when she forgot to go to Army preparation

Not actually spoiler. He told Harry that given Lucius warning, Dumbledore would harm or worse Draco disguising it as an Harry action so that Lucius would take vengeance on Harry and ignore Dumbledore

It is actually possible that it is the Rita Skeeter incident that inspired Voldemort into copying the tactic here

That's actually Hermione in Canon

from Star Wars: "I find your lack of faith disturbing"

Yet another memory charm

Because she was memory charmed many time and have been raising her wands for actual hours.

Tom Riddle

Here, Hermione is waser than Harry, as the same question should have been asked before rescuing Blake

That is the Phœnix test. He thought he would die, and still went to fight, earning him his phœnix

there is quite a lot here. First mentor being Voldemort, of course he didn't help Snape. Second is Dumbledore. It will be seen later that he used Snape, as agent for the prophecy, in his plan against Slytherin, and never to help him with his grief to ensure Snape don't change. Snape free again would be dangerous, and now he understands what Dumbledore knew all along and why he acted as he did

You might want to take a look at the discussion where the author asked for help to write latin.

I've read hypothesis that it is how you summon Demontors

Dumbledore is right in supposing a professor was responsible here. However, he is wrong in that it was a disilusioned Snape

If it is not clear (it was not for me at first read, or at second) Susan is actually Nymphadora Tonk, a Metamorphmagus, taking her role in case of danger to protect her. She is a 7th year student who trained as Auror, with Mad Eye as a mentor

That's muggle magic trick. The very famous "cup and ball". Seems like real undetectable magic to untrained eyes :p

Spoiler only to let you think about the meaning first

https://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/OneSteveLimit

Not sure it's a spoiler, actually. But Grinderwald was concinced and conving that he did things for the right causes

https://hpmor.fandom.com/wiki/Most_Ancient_Blade

I'm not Sirius (Black)

Mind reading

Canon Molly actually killed Blake. But at the time, she had a dead son, which is not the case here

He is thinking about his brother's death

He still new WWII however

Originally from the Preface of Schneier's applied cryptography

This seems to be indeed the case, since they conclude that HJPEV is NOT involved which is what Quirrell wanted them to conclude

By the way, that's called Vinge law

that promise to be fun. Almost no movement will be possible anymore.

Given that it is Harry, it makes perfect sens

Seems to call out the Retirony trope

That's a trope

Canon

This is the reverse from original rule. Avoid becoming animal.

In Canon, this Student puppet is Tom Riddle, later known as Voldemort

Shout-out to the French translator, as "end" and "hunger" have the same pronunciation in French, that lead to an impressive pun "La faim justifie les moyens"

Reference to OotS

Harry had the souvenirs of Voldemort, who already knew the prophecy. So this part of the story make sudden sens intuitively, and once he got the intuition, he was able to get as much details back logically as possible

The Answer to the Ultimate Question of Life, the Universe, and Everything is 42

Famous SF quote from Douglas Adams book

Something of a Tom Riddle

While Harry wanted to know whether "it" (the dementor) would be destroyed, the Dementor is so powerful that Quirell act as if he thought the Sun would be destroyed

He can NOT allows Hermione to figure out the truth about why the wand is here. That's why he reveal the cause before she has time to understand and tell

"you" meaning "Tom Riddle" here

Here, Harry makes a huge mistake. Mixing the way Dumbledore states things and the best argument. He is not even trying to analyze himself and see what really occurs, but only how Dumbledore was wrong. I believe there was a word of god about it somewhere, a link would be appreciated

Seems to be an Evangelion reference, but not yet any theory why it is here.

Spoiler because the fact that we don't understand this reference spoils the fact that it is not relevant

He believs HJPEV to be Voldemort. Telling him that he accepts to play along the lies he is a child without believing it

And that's true. The enjailed black being Pettigrew metamorphosized

And this is a promise. He'll ensure HJPEV will believe people and society betray him

While it is not directly related, it's one of the first appearance of the notion that Harry will play with star, even if it's probably to take their energy

Word of god in We Want More podcast: this is one of the sign that McGonagall is Roberta's aunt, and so of Hermione's family. Hence a personal interest in her

In case it is not obvious: he was obliviated

This as since been renamed to updateless decision theory%20is,which%20it%20makes%20its%20decisions.&text=It%20acts%20as%20though%20its,some%20dualist%20free%2Dwill%20theories.)

The Dragon Army is the name of Ender's army in The Ender's Game. In his Tumblr, both school wars are explicitly compared.

"Mal foy" in (old) French would literally translate as something such as "bad faith" (in the sens of having faith in a bad God, not in the sens of "arguing in bad faith")

Similar to some manga, e.g. Ranma

Truth in Canon

EY wrote an entire book, Inadequate Equilibria was based on this concept:

When should you think that you may be able to do something unusually well?

https://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/AlwaysSaveTheGirl Always save the girl. Evident role reversal

Nothing was tempered ever, apart from her memory. That ensure that everything else don't even have to be touched in the first place

Rita Skeeter, as an animagus

This ensure that Harry don't questing that she disappeared

In Canon, she is an animagus insect and uses it to learn her scoops. He actually says all of this to torture her mentally before killing her. She was not even her for them, since she came to find a flirt between Bones and an assistant

Dumbledore is the only one powerful enough to do this kind of thing. Actually, it just suffices to give Rita the souvenir she saw al of this, and he is a mind reader. It will also be told later that Dumbledore regularly read the twins mind. So if Dumbledore heard about Harry's plan, it would be by the twin.

Quirrell confirmed he would not hurt anyone without meaning it. He just hurted Harry. Simply, Harry didn't notice Quirell wanted to hurt him

Canon!Ginny was beloved of Harry even before meeting him. No need to stage it

That's actually something Harry does in the 6th book

Literally crushing the animagus beetle.

This relate, at least, to "Tom Riddle" seeing up to thrice on the map. Time turner and horxcruxes make a strange impact on the map if you don't understand why somebody is here plenty of time

in Death Note, L hide his name and show his face

Death Note

Draco believe that Dumbledore killed his mother

Tchekov Gun for Azkaban escape

No. It is to be at an unknown level of recursion in the scale of "guessing what the other person guess I'll guess that ..."

In "We want more"'s epilogue, Yudkowsky revealed another cause, at meta level. Hermione's literary genra is "Marie Sue". Except that the trope perversion is that HJPEV is eclipsing here

A word of God explain that Harry was wrong here. The paper do not actually say "magic" but "muggle". Everybody is magic by default and only a gene remove the magic. The data gathered fit also with this option that Harry did not even considered. However, this as not found any way to be relevant to the story

This is a reference to the Evil overlord list: https://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/EvilOverlordList

The amount removed by Snape

And that's very probably the reason why It was cast at this instant

He is thinking about, understanding, and quoting a prophecy. he thought he would be the mentor mentionned and understood that I were not to be

Dumbledore thought he was speaking to Voldemort. He realized it's a good Voldemort!

Reverse reverse psychology. So destabilizing it's working

This is just a muggle magic trick. Quite easier to detect for muggle than for wizards.

And for once it's roleplaying instead of SF reference

That's how Lily improved her sister's beauty, as mentioned in the first chapters. That's what eventually ensured Harry to have nice parents

He wants Comed-Tea, which means he'll be surprised

https://www.lesswrong.com/posts/X2AD2LgtKgkRNPj2a/privileging-the-hypothesis

And that's definitively a prophecy that Dumbledore execute without knowing why.

Probably the fact that he has access to all prophecies, which are themselves those cryptic statements

Dumbledore already knows Harry as inherited from Voldemort's personality. He is discovering a good Voldemort suddenly

That's actually the whole point of this scheme. Ensuring that Harry lose and regain truth quickly, so that he won't lose trust as easily again later.

HPMOR has been described as a story where each character believe to be in a different story genra. Harry is clearly in a SF story, even if he never state it as explicitly. Dumbledore here and later, will make it clear he believes he is in a fantasy story and act as such. And they all are right

Foreshadowing. But also making fun of cannon where that's always the case

Foreshadowing of Quirrell's next lesson

That's just all of Voldemort's lost memory

Clearly a Tchekov Gun for Troll fight

In the end, Hermione will have be said to have resisted Voldemort's cunning by strongly sticking to her principles, even at a cost. This is the first show of it

That's what actually occurs. Intuition moves Harry as far as possible even without noticing

Yudkowski's explained how he created his version of Crabbe's and Goyle on his tumblr. Clear example of how to pervert tropes

Probably related to Guessing the teacher password", where bad professors note whether the correct words are stated, not whether a real understanding occurs; where it's always worth uttering something as it can't hurt more than staying silent

This is actually just false. Comed-Tea does not need or require time travel to work. It needs to predict that Dumbledore is going to make a surprising speach, that HJPEV is going to read a strange headline. None of those prediction are hard to make for someone having access to the environment.

There is somewhere a word of god explaining that actually attending class was the first reason time allowed time turner to exists. A past director was really desesperate and would have risked broking time. Time gave time turner in order to appease them. It was possible only because the director did not expect to use them to change anything in history.

Any link to this word of god would be appreciated

That's a thought he'll have multiple time. Saying it to Quirell, convincing Quirell to use her as his pawn

This is one of the first hint that HJPEV was NOT supposed to be cool. Contrary to what many people seems to think, Harry is not a model, and a reader liking the story does not mean they find Harry to be an example to follow

Because that's literally what Harry asked/will ask her

See e.g. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Relativity_(M._C._Escher)

That is exactly what will occur, the solution to the position's curse. Each year, student will teach new students.

Standard explanation seems to be that:

• Ron told the twins
• Dumbledore regularly read the twin's mind

Indeed, this is the power of Corned-Tea, giving urge to be drank if something surprising will occur. Not that Harry realizes it yet.

In Unix computer system, "root" is the administrator of the computer, having the power to make any change without constraint. That mean no safeguard prevent breaking things, and is considered very powerful

This is the first of a series of cases showing to Harry he is NOT cool. Also and most important, showing to the reader that they are not expected to find Harry cool, but to find that he can change

As in original, she is mentionned before Harry, to never reappear again. https://harrypotter.fandom.com/fr/wiki/Sally-Anne_Perks

Probably obvious, this is mocking original for putting her in Griffyndor.

Role Playing notation: Playable Character or Non Playable Character. I.e. whether the character has any agency in the story.

Fan fiction notation. Harry Potter-Draco Malfoy relationship with Draco being "bottom" in the sexual relationship and with Male PREGnancy.

This is the first clue that he has got some Voldemort's memory in him

This is the solution to Voldemort's fight enigma

This is literally true. Harry is prophecized to risk to destroy the word thanks to science, and helping Petunia allow her to be with Prof. Verres instead of Dursley

To be more explicit, Draco has a tool that isolate their sound and the sound around them, ensuring privacy

Because it is chocolate

Because he is NOT supposed to be. He has Voldemort thought patterns. This should make clears that it is not a realistic 11 yo, as it used to be the case in a lot of golden age SF.

This was probably hidden Dumbledore, while he still had invisibility cloak

Role reversing. Harry noted that McGonagall's answer "Magic" was not a real answer either and didn't explain anything. No she understands

Albus Dumbledore have kill it, not knowing why a prophecy asked it. The goal was this exact moment, where Harry would choose not to get worried about a living pet

Almost a premonition. With the twist that the dying state it's not his fault

The author used "magic" instead of complex word in order to emphasize that they don't know and avoid creating a false explanation: https://www.lesswrong.com/posts/8QzZKw9WHRxjR4948/the-futility-of-emergence

Roleplay reference, the way weapons are usually described

Literally. Time is the solution of this problem.

Programming joke. In C and C++, a file ending in ".h" is a "header" file and is the standard way to import useful tools already existing elsewhere. This would literally put standard disclaimer here instead as far as the computer is concerned, without needing for the human to see them every time
