I tend to use the Lexicon the most because I have trouble with Wiki, hunting info seems a lot more complicated or I just haven't figured out how to use it properly.
I also like that the lexicon on a lot of the info will give you a little book and chapter reference it's usually written like (DH5). I can't say everything on the lexicon is 100% full proof info.
A while back I did find a place where lexicon had Fudge was married and if I remember rightly when I saw it, it gave a chapter reference so I went back to read it but I couldn't find anything about Fudge's spouce or him having one - so I still dont' know where that reference comes from or if it's correct that Fudge is married.
But at least Lexi usually gives the chapter and book refence on a lot of stuff so you can go back and read where the lexicon is getting it's info.
I didn't even know about that rough draft story from book one!
JKR makes it sound like just another magical process to make the stone. Hermione is talking about it being just 'complicated' magic and it's written in a book she's read.
If it was just a case of a talented wizard doing complcated magic then wouldn't Voldemort have made his own stone or tried to? If it's already written down in a book that sort of means anyone could go through the process and make it.
It's also interesting that she's connecting the stone to Lily and James. I wonder where she was going with that? What sort of connection was she trying to make there.
In my own fanfic I sort of have the stone as a unique thing and the only reason Nicholas was able to make it was because of 1 unique item that nobody else would have access to. To me that is the only way it makes sense for the stone to exist and what makes it so special. If it's just something anyone can make if they are talented, then to me Voldie would have made his own already or stolen theirs.
Outside my fanfic I sort of wonder why Voldemort never tried to get at Flamel - in the above version JKR has him already dead but we know in actual canon he was alive.
On, so I'm getting into my own fanfic zone here wiht some of my theory but I do wonder how did Dumbledore get ahold of the stone or why was it in the bank? Because Dumbledore seemed inclined to want to get rid of the stone, but it was Flamels apparently at the time the first book starter.
It makes me sort of wonder if Voldemort and Quirrell may have attempted to take it from the Flamels and thus Flamel may have contacted Dumbledore for help - and thats why the stone is at the bank or was moved to the bank and then Dumbledore decided for whatever reason, or knew that 'they' were going to try to steal it from the bank. So Dumbledore is moving the stone to Hogwarts, in a very dumbly elaborate scheme. But it does make me wonder where Flamel was in all this, why/how did he give over the stone to Dumbledore, what caused him to let it out of his grasp (so to speak) and allow Dumbledore control?
I play all that out in my fanfic, but I do wonder sometimes what was JKR's actual idea on the stone/flamel/dumbledore.
If the above is her actual first draft then it seems more complicated having Lily and James involved - how exactly they would play into it would be a curious fanfic to read.
And me! I had a whole different character involved in the stone being moved to the bank - I never made any connection whatsoever with james and Lily to the stone.
