Waterfalls

New Rumour (updated 12/28/01)

In a recent interview with JKR, she said more people were going to die, and that there was a particular death that was going to be "horrible to write." One might speculate this death is going to be Ron Weasley's. It is very possible that Ron Weasley's character is based on the legend of Running Weasel, a warlord of the 6th Dynasty. A cunning fellow, Running Weasel never lost a game of chess and was killed by his yellow rat. This fits so perfectly with Ron Weasley that perhaps one could not deny to oneself how likely it was that he is going to die. ~~~Contributed by Kyra, or "skyra999."

NEW!

Someone e-mailed me and requested for ALL the facts of the 5th book. So, here it is: [If you also have a request, tell me and I just might do it!]


>>"In book 5, we go into a whole new area, physically, an area you've never seen before, a magical world"

>>"What's very important for me is when Dumbledore says that you have to choose between what is right and what is easy. This is the setup for the next three books. All of them are going to have to choose, because what is easy is often not right."

>>"You'll be seeing Mrs. [Arabella] Figg in book five, and you'll find out all about her."

>>Harry will see him [the real 'Mad-Eye' Moody] in book five.

>>Why do some wizards/witches become ghosts and others don't? "You will find out much more about that in book five."

>>There will be a female Defense Against The Dark Arts teacher.

>>"You see Lupin in Book Five. Yes you see a lot of old characters in Book Five."

>>Book five will be scary. Harry finds out a lot of things he hasn't stumbled across so far.

>>"The Dursleys are in the next book, and there's stuff coming with them that people might not expect."

>>"Ginny Weasley [little sister to Harry's best friend, Ron] will play more of a role in Book Five."

>>"In book five [Harry] has to examine exactly what death means, in even closer ways."

>>"Harry visits a few places that have been mentioned in the books, but we've never got inside before. He visits places other than Diagon Alley and Hogwarts."


The above facts are actual quotes from J.K. Rowling herself. I found these on hpgalleries(thanks again).

Ocean

There are a LOT of rumours: on message boards, chats, web pages/sites, etc. Some of them are very bizaare and probably very unlikely; others, however, seem reasonable and possible. So, here are a gather of the "Bizarre" and "Possible" rumours.


~~~~~~~

BIZARRE:

*Albus Dumbledore is part house-elf. [Because when Harry asked him what he saw in "The Mirror of Erised," he replied "a pair of thick woolen socks." And as we all know, socks represent freedom...for house elves, such as Dobby and Winky. But being part house-elf himself?...I think that may be a litte too far-fetched]

*Lily Evans Potter is Voldemort's daughter. (Thanks, FenixFetherz!) Uh...I don't know. I hope it doesn't turn out to be another Star Wars.

*J.K. Rowling is mentally disturbed. [I don't think so...she just has a vivid imagination and creativeness that most of us do not possess. But Ms. Rowling is definitely weird...in a good way. :-D ]

*The Sorcerer's/Philosopher's Stone will make a return. [I doubt it, J.K. Rowling won't make a repeat...it just won't be so interesting anymore]

*Some of the dead characters are going to be alive again. [That is definitely not going to happen, considering Dumbledore already said that nothing can bring the dead back. It was also confirmed by J.K. Rowling]

*Dumbledore is on the bad side. [I also highly doubt this. He was there for Harry since the beginning...even before he was born! Dumbledore had fought against the Dark Side endlessly during Voldemort's reign.]


~~~~~~~


POSSIBLE

*Someone will die in the 5th book. Possibly someone close to Harry. It was rumoured to be one of the Weasley Twins(thanks again, FenixFetherz!). I certainly hope not. =o(

*Arabella Figg mentioned in GoF by Dumbledore is the same person as Mrs. Figg...the old lady with cats who the Dursleys leave Harry to.

*"The Mirror of Erised" will make a return. This piece of object is so mysterious that it just seems J.K. Rowling had left it unfinished in the first book. It's real possible that Harry will have another encounter with it.

*Remus Lupin and/or Sirius Black will have a love interest. Hmm...it could be an old love interest or someone new. Perhaps the new Defense Against the Dark Arts teacher? Ms. Rowling already said in an interview that it will be a female teacher.

*More of the "past" will be revealed. I'm not sure whose "past" it is. It seems everything points to Lily. But it could also be the time when Voldemort was in power in general. What happened then and how and why James and Lily were killed.

*Hermione might be made a prefect in the 5th year. I think that is definitely possible, considering she is very smart and hard-working.

*Harry and Draco will become friends and team up against evil force. I don't know, this one is a little shakey. Most people would want this to happen, but I don't know J.K. Rowling will follow along with it.

*Hermione will be made Head Girl in her 7th year. That is, again, very probable.
