It is starting!



This was on HPANA today ~

JK Rowling appeared on the Richard & Judy Show in the UK, and had a few things to say that may interest fans.

Some highlights from the show:

Book 7 is NOT finished but she is well into it
The final chapter for book 7 has changed slightly - two more people have died than she originally planned and one other person has got a reprieve
Jo first wrote the final chapter in 1990
She has regretted writing some parts where she may have boxed herself in, earlier in the series
Jo says Ron is generally more popular than Harry -- remembers seeing an unofficial poll on a fansite reflecting this
You can read the rest of the highlights here courtesy of SnitchSeeker, but since they seem to be having server issues, here they are for now:

She would be willing to kill Harry in order to prevent future authors from writing sequels
She was in denial of her fame for the first three books, shocked when the press made slight reference to Potter
Jo mentioned she is indeed wealthy, but many stats are falsely reported
Jessica, her daughter, is often pestered at school for upcoming book titles, plot details, etc.
Jo has written half of another children's book in her spare time
Her boggart would be that of Mrs. Weasley's: her children dead
She made up the rules for quidditch in 30 minutes after a fight with her ex-boyfriend

OMG I just heard a brilliant theory on PotterCast that has pretty much turned my brain to mush.

In an email,Angela (?) states that she believes Harry will have to return to Godric's Hollow the night his parents died. He will witness something there that will help him defeat Voldemort.

She says that Harry is the "other person" at Godric's Hollow and the he is the one who gives Dumbledore information. This is how Dumbledore knew what to do with baby Harry and why he let him face dangers at school. Because he knew he would survive.

This would be difficult for Harry because he would want to save his parents but if he did it would change the world as he knew it.


Now maybe Snape was there and had some sort of confrontation with Harry and this is why he hates him so much.

So maybe Harry return to GH to see exactly what happens to Voldemort. We know that Lily's sacrifice is what saved Harry but we don't know how or why. Perhaps he needs to view what his mother did to cause a flaw in the killing curse.

And if he confronts Snape, who might have been more on the bad side then, Snape might be forced to make a Fidelius Charm/Unbreakable Vow so he cannot tell Voldemort about Harry.

In killing Dumbledore, he will have been released from the charm or vow.

Harry will be in a race against time trying to defeat Voldy before Snape leaks information. This is assuming that Snape is not on the good side. Unfortunately, we don't know where his loyalties lie.


This is all I got. What do you think?
