J.K. Rowling spoke to Harry, A History author Melissa Anelli about the Harry Potter series in a new interview, segments of which will be released periodically as they were not published in the text. One particular subject discussed was the fate of Hedwig, Harry's beloved pet owl: Quote:
"I had to work quite hard in finding a very particular way for that [Snitch] to be caught because I knew I was going to do that later; initially, as my British editor can confirm, I had Hedwig catch that [Snitch]. She wanted that changed, and I thought, 'Oh, God, back to the drawing board.'
Actually that's what sealed Hedwig's fate, because the plan was for Hedwig to open the [Snitch], because she touched it first, but, by making it Harry, then it was time to kill her earlier. I think she was going to die anyway, eventually."
The book, which releases on November 4th, can be purchased at Amazon.com and Amazon.co.uk. | |

I really need to reread those books, I actually don't remember anything that would make sense to have "[snitch]" like how it's written...
I mean, why is it there? Lol... if there's something about a snitch in DH then I REALLY need to reread that, hahaha

Hedwig was such a very great friend to Harry and was loved by everyone. HEdwig's death was just hard to accept...

I don't understand what Jo said about "Hedwig caught the Snitch first." What? I don't remember that?
In an earlier version of the book.

I was heartbroken when Hedwig died. I never liked Hermes or Pigwidgeon, but I loved Hedwig.

I don't want them showing Hedwig when she finally passes, I just want Harry to yell her name or something. I felt the same way... I have a stuffed animal that loks like Hedwig, so when it happened, I had to grab it and give it a hug :/ RIP
