Guess the title of JK Rowling’s 7th book of Harry Potter series and win
JK Rowling said two characters will be killed and even hinted that it just might be the end of Harry Potter himself. While waiting to learn Harry Potter’s fate odds makers posted a new enticing prop: “What will be the title of the 7th book in the Harry Potter series: Harry Potter and the Parseltongue Trophy or Harry Potter and the Great Revelation?”
I’m sure that JK is just playing the publicity and getting people to talk about the upcomming book. The buzz can’t be anything but good for sales. Of course there’s a conflicitng opinion on Harry’s death here: Harry Potter Will Not Die, According to British Literature Expert
In the end, however, Harry will survive, says James Krasner, professor of English and British Victorian literature at the University of New Hampshire. “There’s no way Harry will die,†he says. “Harry won’t die largely because these are comic stories, like Dickens’ novels, in which good has to win.â€
[UPDATE]
Book 7 is ready for pre-oder at Amazon now!
Discuss it here.
ok i think it will be harry potter and the chariot of light. i heard that somewheres and it sounded good
Comment by just maby — July 31, 2006 @ 10:49 am
what did every body think about my last comment on the last web page? i think harry is going back to school. but he is going to talk to dulbmedore in the picture. he is going to find out where the last horocruxes are. i think they are hidden in the school. i think the chamber of secrets is going to be in the last book. why do they call it the chamber of secrets. i think theres more ther than meets the eye. i think harry potter is related to godric griffiendore. because one of the teachers said it took a true griffiendore to pull the sword out of the hat in the second book. and harry lived in grodic hollow. i wonder if there is any relation there. and when harry first picked up a wand red and gold sparks shot out of it. and isn’t that the griffendore colors.

Comment by The Other Chosen One — July 31, 2006 @ 5:05 pm
i got a question. you can not apperate in the school. but why can the house elves do it. and has everyone notice that dobby refers voldermort as dark lord. it thought that only you know who followers called him that. so is there more to dobby than meets the eye.
Comment by just maby — July 31, 2006 @ 7:12 pm
Just Mayb–
House elves have special powers. They can pretty much apparate anywhere they want.
Comment by The Other Chosen One — July 31, 2006 @ 7:13 pm
Just maby-
Dobby calls him the Dark lord cause he lived wid Malfoy n they were um,…….. Death eaters. N they don’t specify tht Dobby apparates, they jus say tht “there was a crack n Dobby appeared “.
Comment by nikki — August 1, 2006 @ 3:32 am
Nikki–
That means he apparated but House Elves can cuz they have different magic then wizards.
Comment by The Other Chosen One — August 1, 2006 @ 7:21 am
yea, house elves can aapperate cuz they need to in hogwarts dontt they! they got the whole skwl 2 clean, but it just sounds diffrent to a wizard apperating
Comment by Ni-ni — August 1, 2006 @ 8:59 am
i think voldermort will go back to the school sense dulmberdore is dead. and try to take it over. because dulmberdore said you know who wanted to find out the secrets of the school.
Comment by just maby — August 1, 2006 @ 10:14 am
Ok, for those of you that don’t read JK Rowlings official website on the FAQ page (click the paperclips) she says:
House elves have their own brand of magic which allows them to apparate and disapparate to allow them to do there work unseen
——————————————————–
And the thing about Dobby calling Voldermort “The Dark Lord” - he used to work for the Malfoys, which meant that other Death Eaters would frequently go to the Malfoys house to discuss ‘buisness’. Also, the reason Death Eaters reffer to Voldermort as “The Dark Lord” is out of fear and respect. What would Voldermort think if Death Eater’s house elves didn’t even have the respect to call him “The Dark Lord”? That would mean that Dobby would be punished if he failed to reffer to Voldermort as “The Dark Lord”.
Any more questions and I’m sure I can help

omg, i just relised some thing( call me slow), Jordans right only the death eaters refer to voldi as the dark lord, in the note it says to the dark lord so the person who wrote it has to be a death eater (or was), so it is Regulus!
Comment by Harry Potter girl — August 2, 2006 @ 7:53 am
wel its not guna b slughorn is it?!
Comment by Ni-ni — August 2, 2006 @ 8:34 am
yeah i am so sure its Reglus Black all the clues add up-
1. R.A.B -Regulus, something, Black.
2. A locket was found in the Black household that no 1 could open
3. Only Death eaters refer to volid as the Dark Lord, the note is adressed to the Dark Lord.
4. Regulus died for backing out of a job, he could of know that he was going to die and did something to stop the Dark Lord.
Comment by Harry Potter girl — August 2, 2006 @ 8:41 am
Harry Potter Girl/Ni-ni–
Yes most of the clues match up but still we don’t have much info on Sluggy and the info that we do have can also point to him being RAB and when asked JK if RAB was Regulus she ssaid “Oh really, you think that?”
I dont know.
Comment by The Other Chosen One — August 2, 2006 @ 9:06 am
i wonder if dobby can apperate in side the school some on can apperate along side with him.
Comment by just maby — August 2, 2006 @ 9:08 am
I’ve got something to say about R.A.B being Regulus Black. Most people have only said that his Uncles middle initial was A, but his grandfather also has the initial A, which means the signs that point to Regulus are alot stronger. Also, in the forgein versions the name Black has been translated to correspont to the spelling of the colour Black, and in the forgein versions the last initial of R.A.B has been changed to the appropriate letter, which means the person was definitly a Black. Sorry if this doesn’t make much sense but I have a TV blaring in my ear.

just mabey- dobby does not apperate!
Comment by Harry Potter girl — August 2, 2006 @ 1:27 pm
Dobby does apparate, he just uses a different form of magic to do it. But, now we’re on the topic, I’ve had a thought
Mabye if Voldermort and his Death Eaters could get hold of some Elf magic and somehow get the magic into their bodys and gain the ability to use the Elves brand of magic they could apparate into any building, because the Elves brand of magic can avoid inchantments to stop intruders - which means Death Eaters would have access to Hogwarts at any time.
This possibility could never become a reality in Jo’s world, it was just a thought that crossed my mind whilst we were on the topic

Jordan–
G
Comment by The Other Chosen One — August 2, 2006 @ 6:55 pm
sry about that.
Any ways Jordan, good point about the DE and the vanishing cabienets.
Okay everyone pleassssse we know about House elves now lets get off that topic.
Harry Potter Girl–
This is a theory about how it could possibly be Sluggy.
So I was thinking of RAB…and what if JKR was just well…lying. I mean she does like to throw us off a lot so what so different about this time? What if those aren’t the real initials? I mean AGHH yeah why would hse do that but check this out. I believe Slughorn is a suspect.
Okay so in order to learn/do the Dark Mark, you must be a Death Eater, right? Okay…so when Harry and Dumbly go and try to get Sluggy for Potions master, Sluggy pretends to be attacked.But Dumbly knows better and finds him. Sluggy asks “How did you know I wasn’t rly attacked?†“Easy†Dumbly says “The Dark Mark wasn’t
over your house.â€
Big deal.
But Sluggy’s response. “Oh I WOULDN’T HAVE TIME TO DO IT ANYWAYS.†Now if he rly knew how to do it he would’ve been a former death eater. And knowing Dumbly he would’ve picked up on that statement very fast if he thought Sluggy wasn’t a previous Death Eater. So perhaps Dumbly knew Sluggy could’ve been a former DE but he has switched sides and is now good for good, and he has like truley switched sides.
Okay maybe just a coincidence? Here’s the biggy on this theory–
Now apprantly the only ppl who know about Voldy’s horcruxes are himself, Dumbly and Harry. And when Harry needs that memory from Sluggy he won’t give it to him. Why? Because Slughorn is “ashamed of what it shows.†He says he did “great damage that day.†He means of course by explaining to Voldy what a Horcrux is. But if Slug didn’t know that Voldy had Horcruxes [[which makes him almost impossible to kill]] how would he know the damage he had done? Why would he be ashamed of showing that memory? Because he DID know about those Horcruxes and perhaps he stole on of them….
One more thing. Slughorn says hes been running from the Death Eaters for more than a year. But why would he be running from them? Because he betrayed them? We know that the Death Eaters go after betrayers i.e. Regulus, Karkaroff, etc.
I know its a bit farfetched…I’m not even sure I completey believe it…But I guess anything is possible. I like my other one on Kreacher better though lol.

We’re not sure whether DE know about the horcruxes. Maybe Voldy told everyone or maybe he told a select few or maybe Malfoy didn’t know it was a horcrux and just a possesion Voldy said DONT DESTRY but he absent mindedly gave it to GInny hoping to get Arthur perhaps fired. Noooo idea.
Whatd you all think about my Sluggy theory?

New Confirmed Info and Debunked Rumors.
Comment by The Other Chosen One — August 3, 2006 @ 9:07 am
hey, just thought I’d say that Death Eaters were after Slughorn because they wanted to recruit him, and if he declined the offer they would kill him. Also, you might be intrested in the off MuggleNet.
Moderator Soledad O’Brien asked the three authors who from their books they’d invite to dinner. Stephen immediately said he’d invite Harry and Hermione.
- While Jo is listing the characters who she’d invite to dinner, she names the trio but then pauses. The crowd begins to shout out other characters, but Jo responds, “I’m the only one who knows who lives through the series,” accidentally implying that she could only list characters who make it through the final book. Her final two choices (after realizing what she said) were Dumbledore and Hagrid.
Well, she implied that she would only bring charaters that lived to dinner, and she said Dumbledore and Hagrid as her last two. Does this mean Dumbledore isn’t dead? Mabye she was just lying to MuggleNet on the debunked rumors page? As much as I want him to be live, I think he is dead.

Yes but what if the DE hadn’t goten to Slug yet. And what if he was previoulsy a DE turned good and now hes runnign from them.
JK would not lie in an interview about the books, you’ve seen her answer, if she can’t say she’ll say I can’t tell you. And she wouldn’t lie so that theories out of the question.

I’ve just remembered what I wanted to say! You know the ‘gleam of triumph’ in Dumbledores eyes after he was told that Voldermort used Harrys blood to rstore himself? Well, I had a thought! Most people think that Dumbledore could have been a Death Eater, but what if the blood cursed Voldermort in some way? I don’t know how, just sharing my thougts

Exactly - Dumbledore wouldn’t be bad, so there must be a deeper meaning to the ‘gleam of triumph’ in his eyes.

i was just wondering if we could take a few comments to try and figure out what the new book title could be. we can discuss it and enter that guess the title and win thing. it’s just that we’ve sorta been going over the same things the whole time like dumbledore being dead and who will be with who. so let’s mix it up and put in new ideas and comments

So any possibilites? I’m kinda at a writers block =]
Comment by The Other Chosen One — August 4, 2006 @ 6:35 pm
To be honest, I have no idea what the title could be! But I’m sure Jo’ will make the title name something that isn’t to do with the main plot (Half blood Prince and Goblet of Fire are good examples, the Prince isn’t the main part of the story in Book 6, and in Goblet of Fire, the Triwizard tournament was the main event), so I doubt the title will be something like ‘Harry Potter and the Quest for Horcruxes’. It’ll be something that is beside the point. Also, Jo’ thought of the title whilst in the shower. Mabye a title to do with water? I doubt it, but it is a well educated guess

I think the 2 characters killed off will be Wormtail and Snape. Because Dumbly said Wormtail owed his life to Harry so I think he will die to save Harry. But i dunno about Snape I just have a hunch.
Comment by The Other Chosen One — August 4, 2006 @ 8:10 pm
The Other Chosen One I think Harry’s aunt will die and Wormtail(I’m not including Voldemort since Im almost postive he’s going to die?
Comment by pugman — August 4, 2006 @ 11:43 pm
She said at least two characters would die, not just two. My guesses are:
Luna Lovegood - Voldermort will try to kill Harrys loved ones, and Malfoy saw Harry and Luna together at Slughorns party.
Ron or Hermione - Best friends of Harry, their deaths would be a serious dent in Harrys confidence.
Ginny - I am not 100% sure that Ginny will die, I think their is a chance that she will live because I’m not sure Slytherins knew that Harry and Ginny were going out.
Voldermort - Voldermort will DEFINITLY die, even if Harry does (which I think is doubtful) because Good must Triumph against evil in a world like Harry Potter. IF it didn’t Jo’ would be very unpopular, though she did mention that she may continue writing other books with a pen name(http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pen_name. Mabye she fears that if evil wins in her most popular book series people won’t buy her other books.

I think Malfoy will turn good. Because when Dumbly offered it to him he never specifically said no he was jsut making up excuses. I think the onyl reason he didn’t say yes because the DE were on their way and plus we was still afraid Voldy would kill him.

Hermione - Just like me, a know-it-all.
Voldermort - (listens for gasps) Well, we wouldn’t have the Harry Potter series without him, would we?

i don’t think that it will be either of those two titles. i think it will be something of the main conflict. like the sorceror’s stone was the main conflict in book one, same with book two and three and their titles. the climax of the story always had to do with whatever is described in the story. so i think it might be something like the place where they will fight. because they haven’t had a title named after a place yet. so maybe where harry and voldemort have the final duel will be the name of the last book

Love your idea about the climax of the story being the title. I think it would be sooo cool if they fought at like Godric’s Hollow or Azkaban.
But I def think it will be somewhere extremely important.
Favorite Characters–
Red and George– I am def a joker, always laughing, pulling pranks the whole deal. Luuuuurve them.
Ron– I love his sarcasm and how he flirts with Hermy so badly.
Sirius– Loves how he is a brother and father to Harry.
Just Mayb–
The only info we have on that room is that it holds the most powerful magic.

I think Harry will go back to Hogwarts and also go to Godric’s Hollow. I mean all the books are in Hogwarts and everyhting and I htink it will be a hge disappointment if this one he’s jsut traveling thrughout the place looking for horcruxes. Maybe he’ll go to Hogwarts to attend school, learn to fight DEs or maybe he’ll decide not to come back but then find out a horcrux is hidden there, so he will. I dunno all possibilities.

well dumbledore didn’t say anything about the room having love. that’s just what people thought. dumbledore said that the room is full of a different kind of magic and i do think it is love. but the room that we’re talking about is when harry, luna, ginny, hermione, and ron were running from the death eaters in the ministry of magic. and they would mark the doors they went through with fiery X’s but there was a door that wasn’t marked and it was the only locked one

lynah- oh right thankyou, but when harry used sirius’s knife to try and unlock the door the blade melted soo … i duno, love is a good idea thou
Only thing is how did they put love in the room its neither sloid or liquid its a feeling
Comment by Ni-ni — August 7, 2006 @ 4:05 pm
that’s a good question. there’s only one solution, it’s a soquid. no i’m just kidding idk it is a good question though. maybe it’s something else like perhaps it’s where all the souls go that went through the viel maybe

Harry Potter and the H.B.P -
[[ Slughorn, Harry and Dumbledore ]] Pg.65
‘What gave it away?’ he grunted as he staggered to his feet, still rubbing his lower belly. He seemed remarkably unabashed for a man who had just been discovered pretneding to be an armchair.
‘My dear Horace,’ said Dumbledore, looking amused, ‘if the Death Eaters had really come to call, the Dark Mark would have been sent over your house.’
‘The Dark Mark,’ he muttered ‘Knew there was something…ah well. Wouldn’t of had time to do it anyway.’
Ok, perhaps Slughorn used to be a death eater i mean, only death eaters do the dark mark. Maybe Slughorn is R.A.B because only 4 people we know of know about the horcruxes and maybe thats why Slughorn was in hiding because the Death Eaters and Voldemort think he’s dead and didn’t want 2 be found out!
just an idea - what do u think?

no im kidding…darnit….snape? if hes good then darnit….malfoy? NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO….lol…umm…neville….oh snap….seamus….hmm….i dunno….voldemort? ::begins to throw a party:: lol…umm…McGonagall?…that sucks…she was a bit nice…Hagrid…PSSSH!!!

Comment by Anna — August 10, 2006 @ 1:47 am
Actually, she said that two people died that she didn’t intend to die. My guess is Fred and George because there whole family are blood traitors, and shop keepers are getting kidnapped left, right and centre. But on her website there is an FAQ page, and when asked if their will be more deaths she simpily replied ‘Yes. Sorry.’
There will be many more Deaths to come. Also, in response to bexioo I think that the Horcruxes are:
Diary (DESTROYED)
Slytherins’ locket (Taken by R.A.B, possibly been destroyed)
Gaunts Ring (DESTROYED)
Hufflepuffs Cup
Nagini the Snake (I’m not entirley sure about this one)
I’m not sure about the seventh one, perhaps when Dumbledore said ‘Voldemort liked to collect trophys’ mabye he litterally means that he liked to collect trophys. Mabye his Special Services to the Schools Award?
For those who have a theory about the Sorting hat being a horcrux, you are WRONG! Jo’ has confirmed the the Sorting Hat is not a Horcrux on her official site.

Comment by bexioo — August 11, 2006 @ 6:43 am
I’ve just been thinking about the rumors that Jo’ confirmed are NOT true, and she said that Pettigrew’s silver hand won’t kill Lupin, but she did say that Pettigrew’s life debt to Harry will come into play. I think that Fenrir Greyback (the Werewolf that bit Lupin) will try to attack Harry, and Pettigrew will save him, which will make him a traitor to Voldemort and will perhaps come back to the good side. Jo’ also said that Draco Malfoy would fight alongside Harry for a while, but something will happen that makes him go against Harry. Mabye Draco thinks that if Voldemorts servant can go back to the good side, (at the end of Book 6, The Half Blood Prince, it was obvious that he wanted to go back to the good side, but couldn’t because of fear of being murdered) but because Voldemorts servant has left him, Draco thinks he can to. But mabye Pettigrew gets forgiven and Draco wants to go back to Voldemort. Just a thought.
Half of this probably won’t make sense, but oh well

Comment by Ni-ni — August 11, 2006 @ 10:29 am
Well, people say that you can only kill a werewolf with a silver bullet, and as wizards don’t use guns people think that the silver hand must have something to do with it.

Comment by lynah — August 12, 2006 @ 6:42 pm
We know that there are 12 uses for Dragon Blood and that Dumbledore became a noted wizard for finding all of them. Therefore, I don’t think we should just gloss over the fact that Aragog’s venom is so valuable - 100 Galleons a pint! - and that Slughorn is now in the posession of some of that venom.
so i think that the venom might be used in some way to help harry out.
by the way what are the twelve uses of dragon blood

i meen it was all blurry and muckign up all the time lol

Apparently, we find out all 12 uses of Dragons Blood in book 7 and one of them is - wait for it…OVEN CLEANER!
——————————————————–
Jordan
But what could Aragogs venom be used for? 10 pints would be worth the same as Harry’s Triwizard winnings, so it’s got to be important. Perhaps it’s so expensive becuase of the difficulty of obtaining it, and nothing else.

ok guys i was reading OoTP and Voldemort said Dumbledore you dont know how death is and Dumbledore said there anre many things worse than death(this is not the same wording it is close to it) what do you think he ment by this(dumbledore)
Comment by pugman — August 13, 2006 @ 11:43 am
The meaning of this is explained. Dumbledore explained to Harry that their are many things worse than death, such as to be so close to death, just a thread away, but you can’t reach it. Imagine being in a car accident, and you have the Philosophers Stone. You are so close to death, but you have been taking the Elexer of Life from the Philosophers Stone, so you are immortal. The Philosophers Stone cann’t heal woulds, so every moment is filled with pain and suffering, like a never ending migraine (I suffer from migraines, so I find this the perfect example.)
I can’t really explain it in much depth, but basically, most people would preffer to die rather that be just a soul that is neither living nor dead.

Horcruxes kept Voldemort away from death when baby Harry tried to destroy him, but he was neither living nor dead because the curse would have killed Voldemort if he had no protection.

Comment by The Other Chosen One — August 14, 2006 @ 2:09 am
This is probably totally ridiculas but,I,ve been trying to find a reason for Dumbledore to still be alive.Way up on this site I read a theory that Ableforth might have taken Dumbledores place.I then gave my opinion that I didnt think Dumbledore would be weak or selfish enough to let another die in his place.My new idea is this.Dumbledore asked Hagrid to take his place by drinking polyjuice potion.Hagrid was missing at the start for ages,he says its because he was with the giants but I dont believe it took him quite as long as he said it did.There was also that very interesting moment when Dumbledore was showing Harry one of his own memories and instead of extracting it from his head he took it from a bottle.It is possible it was in there for safe keeping but,its definately a good point,you see Dumbledore normally extracts his memories from his head,but if it was somebody pretending to be him they,d have to take the memory from a bottle.And the final thing,Hagrid can not be affected by wizard curses so Dumbledore wouldnt have been risking Hagrids life by asking him to swap places with him.Well thats it.I know is stupidly far fetched but it just something to keep me distracted while Im waiting for the next book.

Okay guys we know Dumbly is dead JK said it herself so lets get off the topic.
I think Draco will play a huge part in book 7. I think he will turn good, but I’m not too sure about his parents. I mean his mother seems like she’ll go to extremes to make sure Draco is not hurt/killed.
What do you think?

Well yeah, i mean any mother would go to extreme lengths too protect theyre child , but what can Lucius do while he’s locked up in Askaban? I meen with no Dementors therer its pretty easy for the death eaters to help Lucius get out eh?
I’d also like to know HOW Sirius escaped from Askaban? or does it say somewhere in the books?

Comment by Ni-ni — August 15, 2006 @ 6:11 am
The Other Chosen One - My thoughts on Snape and RAB are : I’m not pointing my finger at Regulus, but RAB is definitly a Black. In the Deutch version, RAB is RAZ and Black in Deutch is Zwart. The same is in all other versions, a letter in RAB has been changed if Black is somethign else in that language. So, he (or she) is definitly a Black
As for my views on Snape, Jo’ has tangled this web up very well. But I think he is neutral, I think he is neither good or bad. Basically, I just think he wants to hang around with the biggest bullies in the playground (Sirius’s words to Pettigrew in Prisoner of Azkaban). He doesn’t care who wins, who loses, he just wants to make sure he’s on the winning side. He planned this very carefully from the moment Voldemort came to power, and I admire Jo’ for her work on Snape.
And to answer Ni-ni’s question about how Sirius escaped from Azkaban, the only reason he didn’t go mad like everyone else was because he had no happy thoughts to be sucked out of him. Then he saw Pettigrew in the Daily Prophet, and that gave him strength. It wasn’t a happy thought, it was an obsession that kept him going. Eventually he managed to transform and he slipped through the bars and escaped. Dementors are blind, they can only pick up emotions, and they can’t feel animal emotions as strongly as humans.
I like that loop-hole, where she said ‘Dumbledore’ is dead, but not any ‘Dumbledore’ specifically. She said that Aberforth would play a big role, but she also said that she would be introducing no new characters. RAB could still be Regulus because he has been introduced by name, but Aberforth has never once been mntioned in the books.
You’ve got to read the first and second books a few times to appreciate them. My favorite book is Prisoner of Azkaban, I’ve read it 11 times so far. The fastest I’ve read it is one day (not so fast, but I only read for a bit in the morning, then continued at night). The most well written books are the last two, but I think Prizoner of Azkaban has a better story line. I’m reading all the books continuously until the next one comes out, so I’m sure I’ll discover everything before Book 7 comes out.

Comment by Jordan — August 15, 2006 @ 7:03 am
on the site called ‘DUMBLEDORE IS NOT DEAD’.theres an interview with Jk on it.All of you are saying that she said Dumbledore is definately dead which is completely right,she did say that,but,in the question before that a boy asked her(word for word)
‘In a recent interview you hinted at two main characters dying and possibly Harry Potter too.Was Dumbledore considered one of the main characters or will we have the chance to see him in action once again?Since he is the most powerful wizard of all time and Harry Potter is so loyal to him,how could he realy be dead?
She replies…
‘I feel terrible.The British writer Graham Green once said that every writer had to have a chip of ice in their heart.Oh no,I think I may have just ruined my career.Umm I really cant answer that question because the answer is in book seven but you shouldnt expect Dumbldore to do a Gandalf,let me put it that way.Im sorry.’
But straight after that another auther challenges her about Dumbledores death and thats when she says Dumbledore is definately dead.
My point is that a young boy would probably not get the hidden meaning in her answer as easily as a fellow auther would.So I believe she may have lied to the auther just to keep on safe grounds.
Heres an example.. If you bought your best friend the thing he/she most wanted for their birthday and it was a surprise…they ask if you got them the thin… would you lie and say you didnt to keep the surprise or would you tell them they got it right and ruin the surprise?

I can’t see Jo’ lying about something like that though, but (there is a but) when she said ‘Don’t expect him to do a Gandalf’ that might just mean in the way in which he will come back, not that he doesn’t come back.

Jordan–
Whoa the whole Dutch thing wtih RAB…that would make a lot of sense then.
Hha yeah my fav book is the 4 bc it just seems like everything ties in and everythign that happens affects something else [[i.e. Harry once sees an owl fly into Hogwarts...and that owl was the one Voldy sent to fake Moody to tell him Crouch has escaped]]. I’ve read that 11 times too…in one day! Lol we gotta lot in common.
Livin it–
You do make a good point about the birthday thing and it is convincing. But I did question myself, I mean JK has never lied yet about the books and she could have just kept her mouth shut or tangled her words [[so there was a loophole of sum sort]] to her answer but instead she said it flat out.
Just a thought– What would happen if one animagus was an owl…they could just slip in and outta Hogwarts unknown. I know its not important but hey–they can get in.
