Hello everyone.
In first sorry for my poor english, but I hope all you understood what I mean.
While reading I wondered about one thing. You good know about Horacy. Horacy can't remember Ron's name. He called him otherwise on all time.
In chapter 22 "AFTER THE BURIAL", page *485* in US Version
Slughorn call Ron: Rupert
Quote:
“I have had it all tested for poison,” he assured Harry, pouring
most of the first bottle into one of Hagrid’s bucket-sized mugs and
handing it to Hagrid. “Had a house-elf taste every bottle after what
happened to your poor friend Rupert.”
Do you think that this coincidence of names or when writing, she thought about Rupert Grint?
Someone noticed that too?
Greetings.

I don't think that Rowling was thinking about THAT Rupert... I remember she said in the interview that while writing she didn't see in her mind HP actors. Just her imaginary characters. And it's obvious that she's too professional to make such a mistake Maybe she did it for Rupert Grint but I'm sure it's not a mistake.
Rupert/Ron and Horace Slughorn - coincidence? 
Maybe she did it for Rupert Grint but I'm sure it's not a mistake.
