R.A.B. identified?
 

According to Nimbus.com, Isabel Nunez, the Portuguese translator for the Harry Potter books, stated that J.K. Rowling told her that R.A.B. is Regulus Arcturus Black. Nunez says that she only requested to know the sex of R.A.B. for grammatic reasons, but that Jo not only told her the character was male but gave her his name as well.

I KNEW IT WAS HIM!!!!!!!!! that's cool!!

I knew it... I cant believe she admitted it

it was so simple to figure it R.A.B who else was it gona be than regulus black lol

We have to bear in mind that this is still a rumour everyone! Its not confirmed by jo and I don't think she will confirm until the book's out!♥

maybe its just a fib, and she's trying to convince us all it is him when in fact it is someone entirely different. JK will prob. deny this though

well come on peeps, i think we all knew it, anyway it hasn't been confirmed or anything. And that translator dude should've kept themselves to themselves, they could be prosecuted for letting that slip

:woot: I always thought it must be him!

I knew it :P I wasn't exactly sure cause I didn't know Regulus's middle name, but I had a feeling.
That's awesome tho

She shouldn't have talked... Now she's going to be in trouble... *sigh*
Glad to know for sure it's him tough =)

Um, why does this not mean much to me. If someone was to be told, then I'm pretty sure they'd have been told under some sort of act where they're not allowed to say anything. [There is one, I'm just not sure what it is :P]

And yeah, It was guessed by most of us. But this is a rumour, right?

Oh wow I can't believe she admitted to it!

its on Wizard news as well i saw it the other day... but we already had guessed this

Uh...I don't buy it and I don't' believe it. Jo is a genius and I doubt that she would make it that easy to figure out. I think its more complex than what everyone is saying.

If it is him then its him, but I'm not believing anything until I read the book and see if for myself.

yeah, that's a very good question if she really did give it away
but I can't remember any other variants of the abbreviation, so may it's could be true

I guess we will just have to see if this ends up being true. I won't believe it until I see it in the book.

Well, that's who I guessed it was but it is still a rumor. BUt I think most of us thought it was Regulas Black.

I have to say that I have always believed it to be Regulus but NOTHING is set in stone until we hear it from JKR herself. Don't believe every little thing that someone says. JKR doesn't even talk to her husban about this, why would she confide in a stranger? Plus all the people that do know something have been sworn to secret so take this with a grain of salt....but I still believe that it is Regulus anyway!

:O i knew it! :D

Awesome!!!!!
