Summary
The Elder Wand and its divided loyalties send the final battle back to the last time the Hallows were all united in the same space: Hogwarts, 1946. Alas, temporal displacement doesn't really change much for the prophesied foes. Voldemort still wants to kill Harry; Harry still wants to end the war and go home. Watching avidly from the sidelines of their mis-timed duel, 18 year-old Tom Riddle can't decide whether he wants this mysterious Potter boy to shut up, join his Knights, or snog him senseless.

Summary
A process is recursive when it defines or contains itself; e.g., the Fibonacci sequence, which determines the next number as the sum of the previous two.
But not all recursive processes are mathematical. Recursion can happen in a temporal context when, for instance, the powerful magical force that is true love drags you back in time so it can create itself, endangering the fate of the Wizarding World—not to mention the very fabric of space and time—along the way.

Summary
It was "Witch Weekly", of all people and organizations, the first to notice and comment on The Boy Who Lived’s absence from the ranks of first years at Hogwarts. The magazine went on to elucubrate that the young hero was studying at a foreign school, possibly Beauxbatons or Holzschuhkäse.

Summary
Harry dies, decades after the second war ends and years into the third. He’s stopped two wars in his time, and if he has to give his life to stop another, well, it’s not like he has much to live for now that his family is gone. He, Draco, Ron, and Hermione go out with a bang, taking their enemy out in the resulting explosion.
But death is not the end.
Harry wakes up in his eleven-year-old body in the Gryffindor common room, staring into the fire, sitting on a carpet that was destroyed years ago. Ron and Hermione wake up with him, memories intact. They have one last chance to right the wrongs that have come from the political war of light vs. dark, and they will fix the Wizarding world if it's the last thing they do. First, they have to deal with a hectic first year while dodging Quirrell and his hidden Lord.

Summary
Harry Potter dies. Not to worry though; Death chucks his Master into a different universe for a second chance.
Follow Harry as he tries to make the most of it, which includes sending letters, waving sticks, climbing trees, and baking one hell of a poundcake.
(Or; getting Sirius out of Azkaban, hiding his extraordinary magical power, destroying horcruxes and - well, the pound cake really is quite something.)
And that's just what happens the year before he goes to Hogwarts.
