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.

I did not know about the boggart and patronus thing to with Snape. I'm also chuffed those details will become important and that we'll see why Dumbledore trusts him so.

I think the big thing about Lily could be Snape related.

It'd make sense for it to be Snape and Sirius related as we learn more about the tension between them two.

Yep. But I hope it has nothing to do with a romance/affair. Maybe Snape was in love with her and secretly so was Sirius--I dunno, but her big secret probably has to do with them both.

Sirius in the love triangle would be odd because, judging by PoA, Lupin was secretly infatuated with Lily too and I don't think all the marauders would have been feeling that way toward her at one time. Or maybe they did, who knows. But I get the feeling that Lily was the only one who showed Snape any compassion.

I think she killed Sirius so Harry could become angry enough to kill Voldemort.

I agree. I think Lily was the only one that showed Snape any compassion even though he showed none to her. She felt sorry for him.

The way POA showed Lupin was as if he was in love with Lily. Maybe he was. Jealous of James for getting her but never saying anything or expressing his feelings.

Yea, but I got more of a feel that Lupin was secretly in love with her from the movie, not so much the book. Though I do agree that not all the Marauders felt the same way and its more likely that Remus was in love with her than Sirius, because whenever Sirius talks about his parents in love he says it with ease. And something does bother me when Remus does--I dont know what though.

Yep, these answers have definately made me come up with more, Jo's a genius because she always does that! grrrr...

I'm also very curious about what Snape's patronous and boggart are. And what's Dudley's worse memory--how bad can it be. Its probably a jealousy thing, though what would he be jealous about. Or people at school making fun of him, though them they would just get beaten up. Or maybe he saw something bad when he as younger. Geez, I need some sleep! But all these questions are spinning in my head so it wouldnt help. grrrr

And i agree that Lily really was the only one that showed any compassion towards Snape, but he didnt return that compassion. Then maybe he realized that he really did like her, but by then it was too late and she was already with James.

Re-helly? C'mon everybodt knew they would never get together! I think people only want them together because of Tom and Emma...

And the Snape facts are interesting... I wonder where all this (great) info comes from...

And this just makes me even more excited about HBP!!!! Wheee! :sorcerer:

Wow, thanks so much for that! It clears up some things. Hmm, more about Snape, I really like that, finally we'll find out why Dumbledore trusts him! Maybe Lily did feel for Snape, hmm, something BIG will be revealed...oh I can't wait!

I don't think that all the marauders would have been in love with Lily. If that's right then I think it may be a bit boring, there needs to be variety. Maybe Remus just liked Lily 'cos she was kind, a really good friend? I mean I got more of the 'I was serectly in love with her' from the film, not so much the book.

But there is one thing that's left off the list, who is Hermione in love with. Yeah not Draco, so Harry or Ron...

So many things to be explained! Sigh, they say patience is a virtue, so I guess all us HP fans will be very virtueous (sp?)by the end!

Sounds to me more as if he'd do himself in and save Voldemort the job of doing it, I think that might cross his mind.

There's evidence for it too, just look at what he said in OotP:

Quote:
On page 824 chapter 37 Harry says: " I've had enough, I've see enough, I want out, I want it to end, I don't care anymore --"
