    I can't remember if Groundhog Day was the title of the Star Trek episode were the crew was stuck reliving the same day over and over again but unless someone corrects me that's what I'll use. The basis challenge is for Hogwarts to be stuck in a time loop and Harry is the only one who remembers. After a while other people might get a feeling of Deja-vu but Harry knows their looping.
    -What would Harry do knowing that he'd be able to do it again?
    -How long would it take Harry to realize that he is living the same day again?
    -How would he go about fixing the problem, or would he?

    I leave it up to you to create a reason for this time loop and a solution.

    Interesting enough I suppose. Groundhog Day was a film, not a Star Trek episode.

    The premise is quite good for the challenge. It could be a good humour fic, with Harry perhaps pretending to be someone different everyday.

    It could also be quite a good set up for independant!kickarse!Harry, since he could fight Voldemort as many times as he wanted, he would come back to life, but also gain experience.

    Had this idea for a while. I even worked out a plot. It's only one-shot, but I don't think there's material here for something more. Migth write it some day, if I get the motivation.

    Unfortunately, this has already been done. I think it even started out as a challenge.

    The one I saw was based around Hermione, though, and not Harry. But the challenge was for any character. It was actually quite annoying, but with Harry at the head of the story, it could work if the author doesnt make himself repetitive[FONT=&quot][/FONT] like the actual 'Groundhog Day' idea is.

    Humor story, for sure.
