It's true that J.K. is always very careful about this stuff -- so it's probably another cousin of Harry's, or it's totally unrelated. Evans is a very popular surname

yeah i think harry would meet another relative in the next book because with sirius gone, harry would have to hold on to another person for strength or whatever, someone who can replace sirius or something....

helloooo, missed me?
anyways, nymphadora is tonks name right? nymph in mythology are supposed to be gorgouse and lovely...etc. and j.k said that snape was/is/willbe in love!! maybe NYMPHadora and snape? no?

i've been thinking hard about the hint in the chamber of secrets...and i remember what j.k said was "small hint". so i was focusing on everything small in the book:
basilisk fang? (but how??)
dobby? (but i think she used him up)
ginny? (doubt it)
passwords? (i feel stupid)
car? (hardly small though)
urgh...this is driving me mad!! but i wanted to say if u can think of anything "small" that might, just might be the hint

question: remember in book 5, harry saw mcgonogall wearing muggle clothes? why?
the following i read somewhere, so im not taking credit...except maybe researching for that theory:
remember j.k said that the characters' names are important to their part? well Arthur (Mr. weasley) shares the same first name as a guy who died trying to save merlin? do u think he is going to die trying to save either dumbledore or harry?

sorry! im all over the place..anyways i came up with a really good theory.
ask j.k if harry is gonna be an animagus and she answers "harry won't be an animigus like his father" how many webistes did i check for this? billions! and every time: "harry won't be an animigus LIKE HIS FATHER". maybe thats a red herring...she didn't answer our question! what she said simply meant that he won't turn into a stag!?! so i still think harry will at some point, maybe? which brings me to my next question... are all animagus's turn into regular animals? i.e: could pass off as non magical? for example dog, stag, rat, bug, cat...normal looking...couldn't they turn into some magical animal, for example phoenix? blastended skrewet (lol)? niffler??

QUESTION does anybody know when harry will get the license from the ministry of magic so he can torture the dursleys muahahaha!

i'm sick today by the way...maybe it's the fever?

Hey every one. I just realized something that may or may not be crucial to the HP series, actually 2 somethings. Here goes:

#1 In the first HP movie, if you take a close look at the plaque that Hermione shows Ron and Harry, on one of the shiled thingsit says M.G. McGonagall-1971. On James Potters shield thing it also says 1971, meaning that they had to be in school at least two years together, and that McGonagall would have also been in school with Snape, Sirius, Lupin, etc. What do you think this could mean?

And another thing
#2 In the Sorcerors (Philosophers') Stone, Snape was always the one to protect Harry from Quirrell or to keep Voldemort and Quirrell from getting the Stone. Quirrell knew this, and (you'd think) Voldemort would know too, right? So why did Snape rejoin Voldemort's forces? It would be too risky even for Snape to join, wouldn't it? And if he did join, then why hasn't Voldemort done anything to him? I don't remember anyone actually saying that Snape returned as a Death Eater, do you? The people not in the actual Order just assumed it didn't they? So, could this be suggesting that Snape is in fact spying on someone else?

Well, I didn't exactly find this in book 5, but I thought it may affect any of the upcoming books. I have not yet figured out what this all could mean and any circumstances of it, and I would very much like to know what you think.

~Ian

but ian....j.k said mcgonogall is seventy...? she taught them maybe she got an award as a teacher...the thing about snape..well im positive voldie knows...but there is two theories, one i heared about...the other i thought up:

me:
hagrid and the giants...snape and the vampires...he'd be like a i dunno...like an ambassador?

other persons:
he took hair from barty crouch and disguised himself?

mosquitos!!die!!!die!! they develouped an immunity against repellents!!

That's interesting... About how Mark Evans might start Hogwarts next year...

Sirius is Cool: Are you sure she said that McGonagall is 70? Well, if she is, and if it was an award, then what is the reward for? Surely it has to be something important, or else it wouldn't have been in the movie, right? They took out a lot of stuff in the movie, and J.K. would have had to say, you know, you need to add this or something. Right?Which leads me to another question:

You know how everyone is saying how Harry's green eyes are really important? Well, if they are that important, then why didn't J.K. make Daniel Radcliffe wear contacts or something to make his eyes green if they're that imperative to the story? Right? Because she has a say in everything that they do and change in the movies.

Oh, and another thing:

People are saying that there is a really important clue in the second book/movie. Well, you know how there are interviews with J.K. and sometimes she will mention questions that came up at ,i don't know, one of her book signings or something right? Well, it is always one of the same questions. Don't you think someone would have asked her about Harry being the heir of Gryffindor? It is a very common rumor going around, so don't you think someone would have asked her that? And since it is so common, don't you think that someone that may have asked her that would have posted something at least in a forum somewhere? Which leads me to ask why haven't they?

Sorry it's so long

i love long!!

anyways, mcgonogall's award...i really don't have a clue. yes she said 70 to 75.

and about the eyes....j.k said they were important! herelf maybe in the movies they'll make harry's mom's eyes blue. but it's not the color that is important rather than they are his mom's eyes!

also it was j.k who in an interview said that there is a small hint in chamber of secrets about what will happen in book 6. sh said that...even go get the dvd and in an interview with lizzo or whatever the name is, she said non chalantly that something she told steve to include because it is going to come up in book 6.

i personaly don't think anything of the gryffindor heir cause it's cheesy. i mean she isn't one to repeat herself and the heir bussines is done and over with (slytherine's, tom riddle). on that issue i really don't think that book 6 wil be called the green flame torch...i mean seriously, c'mon people.

dan's eyes are naturally blue but then in the movie i think they did make him wear green contacts. i saw that his eyes were green in a movie poster.

the award was next to jame's seeker award so it has to be a quidditch one... there was one o the other side though so i wanna know whose that was...

He meant my last, as in his last letter. ie. the last letter he had sent to petunia, the one which he had put beside harry as a baby. Thats what he meant. The letter explained why she had to look after Harry, and that is why Dumbledore's letter came when Harry was about to leave the house. To remind Petunia she could not let Harry leave.

what was in the letter if he meant the letter?!?!

*Professor McGonagall's exact age is 73 right now. She was born in 1920. So thats resonable, and about the letter, yes, I'm thinking its a reminder of the first letter that Dumbledore sent when Harry was a baby.
Just to keep her awake. Kida sounds like a threat! lol

Hey, Just out of curiousity, what do you guys think of Wormtail? Dumbledore mentioned how Voldemort would not want someone in his service that owes his life to Harry. So what do you think will develope with Wormtail?

Oh, how do you get to be in a house? Like Gryffindor, Ravenclaw, etc?

About Wormtail...I just thought of this actually. Remember the hilarious part in book 1 where Scabbers bites Goyle's finger? (It might have been Crabbe, I don't really remember). Ron even brought it back up in book four. I think J.K. planted it for some reason...Maybe that's considered saving Harry's life, in which case, right now Wormtail doesn't owe Harry a thing. I dunno. I just kinda thought about that.

i'm surprised that wormtail was a gryffindor! anyways, wormtail maybe thinks that harry has a better chance in killing voldie than voldi killing harry, and since he wants to be with the strongest, he makes a deal with the order to be an informant (since snape has been found out) and in the process he is killed. maybe? because i don't think there is a loyal bone in his body that peter! he indirectly killed the potters and tried to kill harry...he went to voldi, not the other way around...who knows...

come to think of it... why is lucius malfoy still friends with snape if snape was considered by the death eaters to be a snitch?? double agent maybe? you know, j.k said he isn't to be trusted completly and i quote: "it's worth keeping an eye over snape"... who knows? any thoughts on that?

and there is the mystery of the bloomin' baron (slytherine ghost) too! i think! i mean why can he control peeves..and why is he bloomin'...i know it seems random, but think about it...read book 1, and you'll see j.k sort of stressed on him, maybe for future books? no? we can't get into houses ian, we missed the sorting by about a month...we have to wait till next semester or smth....

`Sirius is cool' ...

You know, I never really thought of that, about Wormtail returning to Harry. But, I don't know. He could become spy for Dumbledore... Nah. Very unlikely. Like it said in the 3rd book, he never did anything unless it benefitted him. So, wait, then if he never did anything unless he was rewarded it, what was his reward for turning in the Potters'? Unless it was just for protection, cause it also said in the third book that he always hung around someone that was bigger and better than the rest. Geez. This gets confusing.

I was wondering about the bloomin' Baron also. She did make such a big thing out of him as far as mediocre characters are concerned. Man, this is craziness.

Well when Scabbers bit Goyle Voldemort wasn't back yet was he?

Another interesting thing I keep hearing about is Wormtail's silver hand... like silver kills werewolves and Lupin's a werewolf. Also, the name Remus came from a legend where a wolf is killed by his brother, Wormtail was like a brother to him.

what I re***y wanna know is what lily and james's occupations were. like, were they THAT involved in the order of the pheonix that voldemort went after them himself?

ya i still dont get wat u mean by this

but i it may be true

it occured to me with the whole tonks/snape thing
we dotn know how old tonks is
like, she can change her appearance to look however old she wants to
but she did just finish her arouror training,
humm...
and i thought that a thing in the 2nd book that was a clue was when tom said that they are alike because they are half-bloods
but we know that they both parents went to hogwarts, soo....
i dunno i will keep a lookout and let you guys know if i see anything though
tis all so confusing

Good theorys everyone

Ok I was reading over the book again and I found something that's a bit odd but it could just be filler for the book. If it isn't though I think it may have to do something with Harry's eyes which are supposed to mean a big deal.
In the chapter "Detention with Delores(sp?)" Harry starts his classses, but strangely his right eye begins to hurt. The chapter goes on into a few more pages and then Harry's temples hurt. Finally at his final detention with Umbrige she touches his hand to inspect the "I will not tell lies" thingy when Harry's scar suddenly hurts.
That's it! But....in the previous chapter Harry keeps complaining about the amount of homework he has...so I'm thinking it could just be an honest mistake.
