| | | 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 thought it was Mr R A Black but I'm not going to start believing rumours as they are rumours and I dont think JK would have let sumthing that vital to the final plot slip! It would be nice if it was him tho ... I hope hes as good looking as Sirius!!!!

I don't think JKR would have willingly givin up the name if she could have just given up the gender.

I don't think that Jo would tell anyone. I think it is just a made up rumor and because it is belivable evryone believes it. The person could still be Regulus but I don't think she would of told.

I don't think JKR would give that away. She lets nothing slip. Even if we have guessed it.

Based on what we know, RAB would have to be Regulas Black, however, Rowling has told us that she would be introducing new characters, and that could change everything! We'll just have to wait to see if the rumour is true!

When I first read book 6 I thought it was Regulus Black, but Jo is so careful when she speaks/gives interviews about not revealing any information. I find it really hard to believe that she would have told this translator the name of the character.
Hearing this rumor almost makes me doubt that it's Regulus Black now... Knowing Jo she has a trick up her sleeve. It probably isn't who we think it is....

What people will do for notoriety! If true I hope she loses more than she has gained. As far as the story is concerned it makes little difference to the enjoyment of that, as it is expected. However this still doesn't mean it is true, what a tangled web we lead.

Hogwarts RPG Name: Emma Taryn Richardson (aka Talons) Sixth | hmmm... I don't think it was Regulus Black.... for one thing the is NO way Jo would be that obvious about it... and for another thing, I think I read somewhere that she said it wasn't him. But who knows? We all thought the sixth book was going to be titled "Harry Potter and the Toenail of Icklebogg (or however you spell that) Maybe it was him... We shall see wont we? *squeals in anticipation*

i knew it. altho i dont' exactly believe she would give something like that away, i mean she's not much one for giving hints about the plot now is she? JKR always leaves the questions open ended.... where only the next book could solve it. pretty nifty, however i think it'll be revealed false sometime soon like that last thing was.

i had no idea who R.A.B could be, it maybe is Regulus Black. Or, it could just be another rumour.
