JKR quotes- From the Author's Mouth!!!!
This are some of the quotes from JKR interviews relating to the 7th book. Some are very interesting and may contain clues about what is going to happen in the book. So read on
JKR: “The final chapter is hidden away, although it has now changed very slightly. One character got a reprieve, but I have to say two [main characters] die that I didn't intend to die.”
well we now know that one person intended to die doesn't. but who is it?
J.K. Rowling has already written the last chapter of the book. In an interview with the Today Show and that we will "find out what happens to the survivors." Some think we will be seeing a dark, very dark ending of the series...
We will learn something very important about Lily ."Now, the important thing about Harry's mother - the really, really significant thing - you're going to find out in two parts. You'll find out a lot more about her in book five, or you'll find out something very significant about her in book five, and you'll find out something incredibly important about her in book seven." – J. K. Rowling
J.K. Rowling has confirmed (in an interview) that "Harry and Draco will hate each other untill they both die." Okay, allow me to repeat this: '...they both die.' What does that mean. are they the 2 who are going to die???
During an online chat at Scholastic, JKR was asked: 'What makes some witches/wizards become ghosts after they die and some not?' She replied: "You don't really find that out until Book VII, but I can say that the happiest people do not become ghosts. As you might guess Moaning Myrtle!" (This is odd, however, because book five gave me the impression that it was simply a choice for wizards. Maybe she'll just expand upon it later with how that choice is often directed by emotions like fear and contentment.)
A kid asked if Snape would fall in love. Rowling appeared to have started to say yes, but then stopped She said she was extremely stunned at that question, and that we would find out why in #7
On Dolores Umbridge "It's too much fun to torture her not to have another little bit more before I finish." so we might be seeinga bit more of Umbridge.
Rowling clarified that "Dumbledore is definitely dead", when asked by Sir Salman Rushdie and others at Radio City Music Hall in New York City. Rowling answered the same question three times, each time with increasing conviction.However, on the set of the Order of the Phoenix film, she remarked; "Dumbledore's giving me a lot of trouble". When asked "But isn't he dead?" by Daniel Radcliffe, she explained; "Well, yeah, but it's more complex ....
When asked what questions she should have been asked, she admitted that "the final book contains a couple of pieces of information that I don't think you could guess at", and declined to explain further.
On 13 September, 2006 she updated her website saying that when she was asked that question, her mind went blank. Since she couldn't make amends, she created a NAQ section of her website, in tribute to the girl who asked the question. In her NAQ section, she states:
"Why did Dumbledore have James' invisibility cloak at the time of James' death, given that Dumbledore could make himself invisible without a cloak?"
