1. Harry spends his shorted time at the Dursleys so far
2. We learn more about the circumstances of voldemorts birth
3. Nymphadora Tonks will be back and will possibly play an important role. I love Tonks, she's my favorite new character. Will she play a large role in future books and/or in Harry's life? J.K. Rowling: Tonks is hanging around. I really like her, too. 4. Moaning myrtle will be back in the story
5.Narcissa Malfoy will play a bigger role now Lucius is in Azkaban
6. We will find out what memory Dudley re-lived when the dementor attacked him in the beginning of OotP.
7. Wormtail will reappear in book six.
8. Harry will see more romance in his life.
9. There will be a new minister for magic.
10. There is a graveyard in Hogwarts and it becomes crucial in book six.
What do you think about the graveyard? Maybe Harry's parents were buried there???? Basic facts The title was once considered by author J.K. Rowling for the name of book 2, Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets, which incidentally "holds some very important clues to the ultimate end of the series." She admits "crucial pieces of information" to be revealed in book 6 were actually pulled from that story very early on, as it wasn't the "proper home" for them. The opening chapter, Rowling has stated, is actually reborn from discarded early chapters removed from the first book, Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone. We may see a more explicit scene of Voldemort killing Harry's parents. Some things in the list below could also be applied to book 7 but I will post it in both sections. Summary: These are facts straight from the mouth of J.K. Rowling, and were gathered from numerous online chats with her. Everything here is confirmed. Article: Facts about the book These are facts straight from the mouth of J.K. Rowling, and were gathered from numerous online chats with her. Everything here is confirmed. * Marks Evans is a nobody. * The Half-Blood Prince is not Mark, Tom Riddle, Voldemort or Harry. *Arthur Weasley won't be the new Minister of Magic. * Harry is a half-blood. * Ginny's real name is Ginevra Weasley. * By the ends of books 6 and 7 "you'll have all the back story you'll need", says JK Rowling, and a prequel will not be necessary. * There will be a new Minister of Magic, no more Mr. Fudge. * We will find out what happened to Hagrid's half brother Grawp. He will be a bit more controllable in book 6. * The Dursleys are in the next book, but Harry's stay with them will be the shortest yet. In book 5 he stayed for 4 weeks, so we know his stay will be less than 4 weeks. * Cho Chang will not be a romantic interest of Harry in Book 6, however Harry will be giving and receiving more kisses says JK. * In books 6 and 7 we will find out exactly why JK killed off Sirius. * Harry becomes even more powerful in book 6. * In books 6 and 7 we will find out why Dumbledore trusts Snape. * We will find out what happened to Wormtail aka Peter Pettigrew. * More about the animosity between Snape and Sirius will be revealed in the last 2 books. * JK has said that giving away the form of Snape's boggart and patronus says too much. We'll definitely find out what Snape's worst fear is, and it'll be important. * Hermione and Draco will NOT end up together in book 6 or 7. * We will find out what exactly Dudley saw when he looked at the dementors. * The reason Voldemort and Harry both didn't die when Voldemort tried to kill Harry, will be revealed. * We will see more of Draco's mother, Narcissa Malfoy, now that Lucius is busy. * We'll learn more about Harry's scar in the last 2 books. * Moaning Myrtle will make an appearance again, as will Tonks. * More about Voldemort's birth will be revealed, thus helping us understand why he is so evil. * Muggles begin to notice "more and more odd" occurrences in book 6, says JK. * The wizarding world is really at war in the sixth book. * Harry will tell his dearest friends about the prophecy after it sinks in to him. * We will learn more about Harry's relatives, including his grandparents (though JK says they aren't really important to the story). * We will find out what happened to Sirius's motorbike. * Book 6 will be shorter than the 5th book (or at least JK's 99% sure, but will not swear on her children's lives) possibly because she said this about OotP when she was writing that book and that turned out to be huge. * There will be no "new" nationalities of children at Hogwarts. Hogwarts is a British school, and JK says that adding foreigners for the sake of it is not in her plans. * During an interview, when JKR was asked in which Hogwarts room she'd like to be for 1 hour, she said it would be a room in which Harry has been before, but doesn't know its importance. Yet. (this could have happened in book 5, but we're unsure). * It's very important in the plot that Harry has his mother's eyes, and that her wand was very good for charms. * During an interview for Kids BBC, Victor Greensteet (reporter) asked Rowling if Harry would have a dragon for a pet. This is what she replied: "You can't tame a dragon, no matter what Hagrid thinks. It's simply impossible. So no. He has more common sense. He MAY have a different pet in the future, but for now, I won't say anything else". (This could have been Buckbeak, but I'm sure we can expect more pets). * In the same interview for Kids BBC, the reporter asked J. K. if Harry had ever used the internet, and this is what she had to say: "No. They (the Dursleys) won't let him go near Dudley's computer, and Dudley is the only one who has a computer. They hit him if he gets too near to the keyboard. So the answer would be No. I use it a lot, but Harry doesn't. Wizards don't really need to go on the web. They have an even better way to find out what's happening in the outside world, which I think is a lot more fun than the Internet, but I'm going to keep quiet on this one." * The choice between what's right and what's easy will be a pillar of the plot in Harry's last 2 years at Hogwarts. * Harry's parents' profession will be a big part of the plot. * Something HUGE will be revealed about Lily Potter. this is from newsround JK Rowling gave fans some tantalising titbits about the future Potter books at her reading at the Edinburgh Children's Book Festival on Sunday. She said she was well into writing book six. She said she was "just over halfway through it". She added it was her favourite book so far. Click here to see pix from the JK reading "Of course I am the only one who has read it and I think it's rather good." Two key questions She did not give much away about book six, which will be called Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince, but she said a lot of questions will be answered in it. She also revealed there were two key questions about the whole plot that she had never been asked. The first is Why didn't Voldemort die when he tried to kill Harry? JK said that in the end of book four, Voldemort had said he had taken various steps against dying, but we should be wondering exactly what he did. Dumbledore knows more! The second question is Why didn't Dumbledore try to kill Voldemort in that scene at the end of book five? Dumbledore gave a kind of reason to Voldemort but it's not the real answer, and that Dumbledore knows something more. JK said if we are wondering about the overall plot, we should be concentrating on those two questions. Squib? She also tantalisingly answered a question about Aunt Petunia. When asked, JK said no, Petunia is not a squib, as she is muggle-born, but...... and left the sentence hanging. She said we will find out a bit more about her in the other books and that there's more to Petunia than meets the eye! She also revealed some more general snippets of information, including: Aberforth Dumbledore is the barman in the Hog's Head Dumbledore's patronus is a phoenix Grawp will be more controllable in the sixth book We will see a bit more of Rita Skeeter There will be a new character called McLagan Harry does NOT have a godmother The full transcript of the Q&A session will be available on JK's official website soon. hope you enjoyed reading this :D |
