Stupid jingle I thought of:
Good news for all!
Tell me more,tell me more,what the hell you waitin' for?!
;) :P




Right-o! I have good news for all that have been SO worried about the Trio getting killed. If im correct (which is very unlikely), then they wont die. Why? Well,I have my sources...Plus this thing from an interview with JKR.

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.

Correct me if im wrong,but she just let slip and has made a huge mistake. '...she names the trio but then pauses.' Surpirse,surprise ' "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. '

Here's the rest of her answers and stuff for other questions:

- Other than Harry, Jo would most want to bring Hagrid into the real world.

- There's more to Aunt Petunia than meets the eye, and we'll find out what's unique about her in Book 7.

- Don't expect Dumbledore to pull a Gandalf.

- Dumbledore IS really dead. "Everyone needs to move through the five stages of grief" and get past his death. She also apologizes to DumbledoreIsNotDead.com for ruining the purpose of their site.

- Jo's future after Potter includes taking a long break from writing. She also plans to release a young children's book (currently half-written) that is shorter than any Potter novel.

- The librarians in the Potter novels have to be evil, otherwise the students would have nice librarians to help them find all the information they need. "Hermione wouldn't have to do any work!"

- Author Salman Rushdie came up with his son to ask, after a detailed theory, if Snape is good or bad. Jo replied that "your opinion was correct." Rushdie's opinion, unfortunately, was hard to follow.

- After being asked if there was one question fans should have asked by now but haven't, Jo couldn't reference any question in particular.

- While taking a shower before the reading today, Jo said that she had come up with a different title for book seven that would work better than her current title. No word on which title will be used, though.

- Stephen King said he was scared of Death Eaters, to which Jo replied, "I scared Stephen King."

- 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.


Bad news is that Dumbledore really is dead and worse news (for me), is that ive just realised that ive read that he's really dead mutiple times,but didnt actually take it in until now.
Good news is that the Trio will probably live if my brain is working correctly.
More bad news is that I dont know if Snape is good or bad and I dont know where to find Salman Rushdie's theory... If anyone can find it,please let me know.

All info is from Mugglenet

Wow, cool! :lol:

yayayayayayayayayayayayayayayayay!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

But not DD NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO

Hhhhmmmmmm... She is so vague isn't she!!!!!! I've never heard of her slipping up before. You'd think after all this time and practice, she wouldn't. And her pausing before she said that makes me wonder if she said it deliberatly. She always says on her website that she will never tell a lie about harry potter to someone, but she will not always answer a question, and she does it might be cryptic. I hope, I hope, I hope........

okay now im confused does that mean Dumbledore and Hagrid also make it through the final book?? and Sardine i loved your jingle it's really catchy

No, Dumbledore is dead and we don't know whats going to happen to Hagrid, JK realised that she let slip about who is going to survive (possibly) and tried to fix it by saying someone who was dead... if that makes any sense :blink:

ahh i see now, that was a pretty good save on her part

I dont think JK did it on purpose. She was simply thinking of possible characters while the other writers said who they would want to meet.
Dumbledore is dead and gone,Hagrid could possibly live along with the Trio. I still think that Sirius will return.

I think Sirius will return in the 7th book in one form or another

maybe he will come back as the form of snuffles!!!!!!!!!! :eek:

Do you think that her naming Dumbledore and Hagrid afterwards might have been another "slip"? Maybe Hagrid will die? Horrible thought, but maybe she was actually telling us something there....

o god i hope not! but you might be on to something!

No, she wont make two slips like that.
I think Hagrid will live to see another day. Plus,she likes Hagrid,so maybe her mentioning him is because she likes him.Plus she also said that other than Harry,she'd like to bring Hagrid into the real world.

Ive got some good news concerning the movies,but it contains major spoilers,so im not gonna post it here.PM me if you want the news.

alright so who would everyone want to bring into the real world?? me i'd want to bring dumbledore if only to hear some of his stories bet he has plenty of good ones in him.

Hmmm... Well,my choice would be quite obvious...-> Severus Snape. Hmmm...Yes,Severus Snape and perhaps the Giant Squid,but definately Snape

Have pm'ed you sardine

Here's another article that basiclly mentions the same things but a few other bits too. ^_^

J K Rowling reveals parts of forthcoming Potter book

J K Rowling leaked out plenty of information on her current project – the seventh and last instalment of the Harry Potter series – sending fans of the boy-wizard into a tizzy.

Six years after her last foray into the United States, J K Rowling teamed up with fellow cult writers Stephen King and John Irving for two benefit concerts in New York, on August 2, 2006. The three authors – Rowling of the Harry Potter novels, Stephen King of Carrie, The Shawshank Redemption and the Dark Tower series, and John Irving of Garp and The Cider House Rules – read out portions of their works at "An Evening with Harry, Carrie and Garp".

With incomparable comperes such as Whoopi Goldberg, Kathy Bates and Jon Stewart, the show commenced with King reading out the gross yet hilarious scene of the revenge of Lard Ass Hogan from Different Seasons. John Irving’s reading was preceded by background information of A Prayer for Owen Meeney, after which he read out the portion where children were being selected for enacting a nativity scene at church. J K Rowling followed – to much acclaim – with a reading from her best-selling sixth part of the Harry Potter series – Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince.

Ten pages later, Rowling was bombarded with questions not just from the audience, but from her fellow writers as well.

Some of the more tantalising tid-bits she let fall are that although Albus Dumbledore – the headmaster of Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry – was murdered in Half-Blood Prince, he would still have an important role in the final book, and furthermore, his killer Severus Snape (whose role is assayed by Alan Rickman in the Harry Potter films) is actually a good character.


Daniel Radcliffe stars as Harry Potter in the film adaptations of J K Rowling's phenomenally successful Harry Potter series
The latter bit, which had been a topic of much debate and speculation among Potter fans, was first voiced at the concert by author Salman Rushdie, who offered his theory that Snape and Dumbledore were in cahoots (over the latter’s murder) and that Dumbledore’s death was a hoax.

“In my opinion, Snape is good”, he declared.

Rowling’s answer: “And your opinion is right, but I feel I need to make one thing clear about Dumbledore: he is dead.”

Other items the usually-reticent author let fall were that Harry’s hateful aunt Petunia Dursley would have a very important part in the final book, and heavily implied that Harry and his two friends Ron and Hermione would survive in the book, whose title Rowling is still thinking up.

Rowling also said – in response to Stephen King’s question whether Harry Potter’s rival Draco Malfoy would be redeemed – that all her characters, barring the villain Lord Voldemort, “appear redeemable” and that Harry firmly believed that Draco Malfoy was not evil. This may or may not point to her claim earlier this year that while writing the book, one of her characters had been redeemed whom she hadn’t thought of redeeming earlier.

Later on, at a meeting with fans, Rowling also said that the final book would explain the deep connection between a wizard and his wand.

So Snape is Good, Sardine is gonna be happy to see that :lol:

yay snape gooooooood

YES! I KNEW IT!
I LOVE YOU SNAPE! YOU TOO JK!
SNAPE'S GOOD!!!
*does funky little dance then stops*
Thanks Shonkie! I owe you one.*sighs* He's good...This is the best news ive hear all weekend!

:laugh: I thought that would make you happy.

YOu thought?!?! Gosh Shonkie! Im SO freakin' happy! *sighs* I was right,yay! *celebrates by drinking hot chocolate*

Just making this clear once more.

Dumbledore is really dead. If he weren't, Snape would be since he was in the wizard's vow thingy with Draco. Plus, who says Dumbledore has to be alive to talk to people? Anyone into Spiritualism or remember a guy named Nearly Headless Nick? Moaning Myrtle?

If you still dont get it....


[spoiler]













GHOST

thats true bit i think you just wanted to post that so you could use that cool spoiler thingy

[spoiler]Hello!! muhahah ya'll smell![/spoiler]

can someone please explain to me how that vow thingie Snape said works cuz i have me some questions about it

Cool Spoiler thing! :)

Alright,the vow.
It's called the Unbreakable Vow.Why? Cause it's 'unbreakable'. See the link there? Anyway...If someone makes the UV, they have to complete what ever they vowed (if it's something like what Snape did), but if they chicken out, they'll probably go through a whole lot of pain and eventually die... (That last part is said the way Jack Sparrow says, 'raid,plunder and pillage' in PotC when he's trying to get that ship and the two guards are talking to him.)
Questions? Lemme hear 'em!

YAY! Snape's nice!!! :loveharry:
*huggles JKR* And Harry will survive. And Ron + Hermy.

But yeah... breaking an unbreakable vow would probably result in a very painful death. So DD really did have to be all the way dead. That's very sad. But he'll still play a part in book 7. Also, what if she meant to just put us onn the wrong track and make the trio (or at least part of the trio) are really gonna die... and it would just come as much more of a shock. Though I highly doubt it. I just can't believe that she'd give away the answers to the majority of those burning questions of THE LAST BOOK! I mean the main questioon was the trio's death and she bombed that! A little tactless if you ask me... but i guess all the special agents and people would know better.

JKR wont lie like that and say that none of the Trio will die,then kill one of them. She's said before that when someone asks her a question concerning HP,she'll answer it truthfully,keep quiet or say 'no comment'.
Indeed a very painful death.

But she didn't come right out and say it... it's just the way she formulated her sentence leads us to logically belive that they will all survive. (which, don't get me wrong, would make me absolutely extatic)
it's sort of like with the prophecy... the last part "neither can live while the other survives" that can be interperted different ways (i think they have linguistic details of this on mugglenet somewhere)... but of course JK doesn't drop these "anvil sized hints" accidently, and most likely this isn't being misinterperted. It just seems too typical for them all to live.
Hope Ginny doesn't die. :no: But regardless of who it is that leaves the material world, I'm sure it'll be a colossal battle in the end.
