Sir Harry Johnston, a British explorer and prolific writer, presents a very interesting insight in the region and its people in the seventeenth century – as seen by the Dutch – in his classic work on Africa’s first republic, ‘Liberia’ (2 volumes), published in New York in 1906.
Although the vocabulary and language used by Johnston is not always easy to follow (since at times outdated) it was decided to present his text unchanged, except for some minor printer’s errors, in respect of his authorship.

But during the climactic confrontation at the conclusion of "Goblet of Fire," the very order in which Harry's parents were murdered by the evil Lord Voldemort seems to be brought into question.
During the high-stakes battle between Voldemort and Harry, as a result of complications in the wands that they both use, Harry forces the ghosts of all those whom Voldemort has killed with his wand to eject themselves momentarily into the living world.
Rowling's previous books have indicated that Harry's father died first, in an attempt to protect his wife and child, and that only after his failure was Harry's mother killed, while placing a spell over her son that granted him some form of protection from Voldemort.
