How and when are prologues relevant? When are they really used? True it could, and most likely does, depend on the author.
But I heard in some book, forget which, that the first chapter in "Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone" could have been a great prologue.
Prologues could be used if you need to describe the epic, other world setting, or if the events the story centers around started so many years ago and the prologue tells what happened.
But I think prologues can also come in different formats. Like a transcript or a police interrogation or a newspaper clipping. Something like that.
What do you guys think?
