   There is little doubt in my mind that Ms. Rowling created a structured   
   outline of her Septology. The proof lies within the exquisite and   
   complex construction. The multiple narratives with and overlapping one   
   another.

   Here is a perfect example of what I prescribe. Harry is transfigured   
   and transformed from self full to selfless as the books roll from I to   
   VII. Quite similar to the creation of the PS.   
      
   Yet as Wil points out, the books refuse to follow thematically the   
   same process of the Stone.
