What if Harry Potter had his own Pensieve ...
Way more than mere "lists," Harry Potter's Pensive is a truly unique method of understanding the coming of age wizard with the world on his shoulders. First we have the most incredibly complete Cliff Notes Spark Notes (Wizards now use SCARPnotes) of any site on the web! (See what we're doing for Deathly Hallows) Then, nearly every specific memory of Harry's is painstakingly encoded on a daily basis according to spells, wands, people, creatures etc.!!
Mere "lists" only allow correlations which, as Dumbledore says, "could have been made by myself." But: what if you want to know every mention of something resembling a Horcrux? or, wouldn't you like to know every piece of advice that Harry has ever received from Dumbledore?; or, maybe to see every description given of a person or location or object in all the books? For that you need a Pensive -- that's why I've given Harry one, "Harry Potter's Pensieve."
The drawers on the right are port keys to several major web areas: Yes, there are the basic "Engrams" of persons, places, things and categories. And, of course, there is the obligatory "time-line"; but, the "Memories" put EVERYTHING in chronological order. Associations make correlations between "Engrams" AND Confabulations make them between "Memories!"
The "Q & A" is much more specific and contains EXTRA INFORMATION, DISCOVERIES and NOTABLE QUOTES. AND, as if that were not enough, Hidden somewhere on a web page is an undisplayed link (easter egg) to "LORD VOLDEMORT'S LOG OF IMMORTALITY" which he kept (possibly) about building his empire and gaining immortality (ie death eaters, Horcruxes, murders etc)
In short, you are in what is probably the most detailed site devoted to the pure Harry Potter Wizardry Saga. Because the limited bandwidth is devoted to content, there is little "eye candy" and the only "chat" is through the "email contacts" which are then included as "Questions" or placed in corrected or enhanced content such as more "linkages" or expanded "predictions" for book 7 - "Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows"

Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows ...
Creation of Book Seven's chapter summary is underway! Content will be "turned on" beginning the day of publication. Currently it contains a prognostication of all the events and problem resolutions known to be outstanding in the Harry Potter Series with their possible (if not most likely) solutions. How close will we be?
Harry Potter and the Half Blood Prince ...
This was the first chapter summary - we call them SCARPnotes (e.g. Cliff Notes, synopsis, synopses, spark notes) of Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince on the web. The preview page, has our questions and anticipations for book six - which was annotated with the answers as soon as the book came out and the chapter summaries, wow, they're the most extensive "spoilers" on the entire web!
Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire ...
Then work was completed on Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire. You will see that they are every much as extensive as that done for book six making them perfect as a resource for school assignments such as: book reports, literary synopses, themes and other reading related assignments.
Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix ...
This book was next for SCARPnotes Key facts, themes, motif's, characters, plots and definitions. Students can't believe how helpful they are for school book reports and other assignments. And, unexpectedly to us, parents from all over the world are surfing the site to pre-screen the books for their children to read, and be able to engage in meaningful discussions.
Please be certain that you won't be troubled by the very extensive spoiler information contained in the site.
