Spinner's End: I strongly believe Hermione's going to do something w/ Harry in the summer holidays... maybe this is the street Krum lives on?


Draco's Detour: J.K.R. had a snippet she was going to put somewhere where we're in Draco's house or something... maybe this is it...

Or maybe they find Draco in an area and follow him... and end up somewhere surprising..


Felix Felicis: Sound like a cat's gonna be involved... and this is where the snippet she showed us is... Either another Penisive or noticing his poitrait in a room...

Or another thing like in CoS w/ Tom Riddle's book... 'cept different..

I've been thinking about Chapter 2 Spinners End.
I still think its a street.
I've tried every single search engine I could think of and found 2 real street possibilities.

There is a:
Spinners End, Weston-Super-Mare, Avon, BS22
and
Spinners End Drive, Cradley Heath, West Midlands, B_64

As this chapter is early in the book, it could be a place where Harry goes after leaving the Dursley's in the summer.
Could it be possibly Hermione's place and he goes visit there. I mean, he's already gone to Ron's and Sirius's, we haven't seen anything of Hermione's place.

The other chapter Felix Felicis

Well I might be going well off base here, but here goes. (You never know where JKR finds her names)

On searching through search engines again I found butterflies and moths (whats this got to do with it, your probably saying) from the felicis species group - Patricius.

Felix mean Happy, lucky, fortunate (felix, felicis)
Patrick means Patrician, aristocratic (patricius)

So maybe Felix Felicis is named after this butterfly (lol) who comes from this patricius family.
Could felix then be the HBP?

Has this been confusing for you?

Spinners End - I think this one sounds like it has something to do with spiders and death. Maybe Ron overcomes his fear of spiders, or else he freaks out and stomps on a whole bunch of them.

Draco's Detour - I would like to be optimistic and say that Draco has a change in character. Possibly he finds out about the awful things the dark lord does and sides with Dumbledore.

Felix Felicis - I'm gonna agree with everybody else and say this ones about a cat. Possibly that character that JKR described as a lion. Or maybe Crookshanks has a major role coming up.

That thing someone put about Felix Felicis, about a theory going around that Ginny's Patronus may be a cat; I bet it is! Remember, in Chamber of Secrets, when Ginny was really sad because Mrs. Norris got petrified? I just realized this! And then there's this theory, and here's mine that someone already said (if that makes any sense): I bet Ginny's Patronus is a cat, or maybe there's something she can do with magic (a charm, perhaphs) on Crookshanks that will reveal something to us. Sweet, I'm on a role! I'll be working on this one! -JRC

Chapter 2; Spinners End

To me this sounds like a place, some kind of street or cottage. The fact that is shows up so early in the piece also leads me to believe it is where Harry is sent after his stay at the Dursleys.

JKR has said that the first chapter of the "Half-Blood Prince" has been one she considered using many times in other books. This leads me to the conlusion that it will show a more in depth look at what happened the night of Voldemort's first fall.

People say that the book is written from Harry's point of view, but it isn't always true, especially of the first chapter - just look at the first chapter of the first book.

So that means that the second chapter will be the frist time we see Harry and more importantly - because Rowling says he doesn't stay there long - the chapter in which he will leave the Dursleys.

A theory of mine is that Spinners End will be the new location for the Order of the Phoenix. With the death of Sirius the Black house will pass to Narcissia Malfoy assumedly, as she is Siruis' closest relation - shown by the fact that Kreacher went to her.

Chapter 6; Draco's Detour

Detour means an unwanted trip, or going to someplace you shouldn't. This is also around the chapter when Harry is usually getting ready to go to school. I think it may either mean Draco is spotted going into Knockturn Alley and Harry follows, or perhaps that he runs afoul of the Twins new store.

Chapter 14; Felix Felicis

I think everyone has become just a little too hung up on cats, Felix Felicis is obviously from Latin, and in no way relates to cats. Personally I believe it to be the name of a spell.

In every one of the books there is a classroom description phase, a part near the front to middle of the book where they have just arrived back at the school and JKR runs us through the classes and drops hints about the spells that will play particular roles in the story.

Wingardium Leveosar "Hover Charm"
Accio "Summonging Spell"
Unforgivable Curses

Felix Felicis, both words have similar meanings in Latin, it in fact would translate to something like Happy, Fortunate, or Lucky, Fortunate. I believe it is refering to a spell that we have seen "Cheering Charm" or more likely a new spell that actually has the abilty to make one more Lucky - Imagine the possibilities.

Playing Devils Advocate, and saying it is the name of a person. Chapter 13 of "Goblet of Fire" - a similar size book - was entitled Mad-Eye Moody. And other important characters - namely the new defense against the dark arts teachers - have gotten chapters at similar times in the book.

Remember just because a character hasn't got a chapter named after them when we meet them doesn't mean they are not important. As evidenced with Mad-Eye.

OMG, at last!! Someone who vaguely agrees with me!!!

I totally agree with everything you said there...particularly about this thing with being too hung up on cats and the possibility that Spinner's End is a street.

As I've said before, living in Britain, I know of hundreds of places here with that type of name. It's very common for cottages and little villages so yes, I think it's somewhere where Harry will go after leaving the Dursleys...personally, I think that it's either where his parents are buried or possibly the location of that house Sirius said he bought with the money he inherited from his uncle.

I really liked your idea about Draco's Detour too...that sounded like a real possibility....do you think that maybe Lucius has already escaped from Azkaban and that Draco is secretly meeting him, and Harry and the others learn about this and maybe follow him? You know...as in Draco says he's going someplace, but actually goes somewhere else...as in he takes a detour....

Hmmm....

ive got a question has JKR ever said that nevilles parents will ever get out of st. mungos?

and if not then in the book does it say if nevilles parents are full bloods or half bloods and what does nevilles dad look like hair color etc. or what his grandmothers hair color is. because im thinking if his dad is a half blood and since he was part of the order of the phoenix and would be a good choice for him to be the next DADA teacher and in the excerpt from the book its say he was a "rangy" and and "had a loping grace even though he walked with a limp" (not exact quote) rangy means tall slender neville looks like that

MOD EDIT : Double posting is not allowed on this forum - if you have something else to say, that's what the 'edit' button is there for. Your second post has been deleted. It said:-

Erm, that's a little off topic, don't you think?

What does any of that have to do with the new clues on JKR's site?

There are other, more appropriate threads you could have posted your comments in. Please take a look around the forum first before posting...

This is pretty tenuous, but JKR has talked about liking the book "lolita". the main character's name is humbert humbert and there is always dicussion about the signifance/effect of using a double name in a novel. It just struck me that this might effect musings on the Felix Felicis front. It's not a conplete repetition, but...

To me "Felix Felicis" sounds like a person´s name. IMHO he is going to be the new DADA teacher

Let me give this a go.

**First, I love the idea of Spinners End being Sirius' cottage that he bought with his uncle's money. I feel this way for two reasons:
1) JKR said that Harry would have his shortest summer to date at the Dursleys'. This would certainly explain a place for Harry to go if Sirius left this cottage to Harry.
2) If this is the case this could mean that our beloved hero may never have to live with the likes of the Dursleys' again. (mind you I said "may")

**Draco's Detour: this one is giving me some problems, though I have an idea, but who knows I could be off my rocker here : a detour is to be lead into a different direction then orginally started. All Draco's life he has followed the path his father set before him. What if with Lucius gone Draco decides to veer off the set path and create his own? He could even do this without having to change that Malfoy charm.

**I looked up the whole term 'felix felicis' in a latin to english dictionary and the whole phrase means happy, fortunate, lucky. This could mean two things:
1) it is the cheering charm or
2) it describes an event that will bring good fortune to our hero causing him to be happy.

Hi,

I read a Heyman's comment about the filming of the GOF film - that it will not include subplots not directly related to Harry, such as the issue of SPEW. And then it was mentioned that that is Hermione's detours. In that aspect, perhaps Draco's Detour is about an issue of Draco that is similarly not directly related to Harry ?

Felix Felicis sounds to me like a person. JK sometimes uses the same letters to start the words in a name e.g. Minerva McGonagall, Severus Snape, Dedalus Diggle Peter Pettigrew, Pansy Parkinson etc

Have a nice day!

I think spinners end is a place that Harry goes to early on (why he leaves the Dursleys so soon)

Not sure about Draco's Detour, maybe he takes the gang somewhere

Felix Felicis is either a spell/charm, potion, plant(unlikely), or person. It's probably a person. The last two books had chapter titles refering to the new DADA teachers at around chapter 13-15. Felix Felicis is most likely the new DADA teacher.

i think that spiners end might have to do with the place where harry goes so early on, at first i thought it could have meant something to do with Aragog the giant spider. But the placement of the chapter counter acts that thought, as for draco's detour, it could mean that draco is going to lead the three (Harry, Ron, Hermione down the wrong path. Hes tried this before on the first book, "the midnight duel" and he had filch go to catch the three.

OK, here goes on what I think the chapters mean.

Spinners End

(With Sirius dying, the Malfoys are now in possession of Grimmauld Place. The order can't have their headquarters there, so they will have to relocate. That place will be on a street named Spinners End.)

Draco's Detour

(Something will happen on the train, most likely in chapter 7, and Draco will take a detour to avoid it.)

Felix Felicius

(I believe that Fudge will resign and a wizard named Felix Felicius will take his place.)

DRACO'S DETOUR: I think Draco fight with Harry vs. Voldemort. It's not impossible. If you think so much. I'd like it. Harry and Draco fight together. I WANT READ IT NOW!

i think that would be highly unlikely because draco knows that his dad is in leage with voldemort and anyway malfoys a complete coward if you remember all the times in philosophers stone.

Draco's Detour:

I think Draco's going to follow the golden trio to find out how much dey knew about you-know-who's plan...


Or


Draco won't follow his father's step and be you know-who's servant and began being more friendly to the other houses...espicially to his old enemies...


--------
You think my name is funny do you?No need to ask yours,Red hair and a hand-me-down robes You must be a Weasley

Ooh, do you know something...I think that's one of the most interesting takes on it I've heard so far....I really like that second idea about Malfoy possibly changing...I hadn't thought of it like that.

Maybe he will...who knows? Maybe Harry thinks that he's changed though, but he hasn't really?

Interesting idea.....

I think it is almost as likely for Hagrid to join the Death Eaters as it is for Malfoy to change. He didn't seem to be ashamed at the end of OotP when he talked with Harry, after having his dad chucked into prison. There are so many possibilities with this title, which Mrs. Rowling must have known.....but maybe someone will have the lucky guess
I like the idea of Spinners End being a street, but somehow I think that Grimmauld Place will still be the HQ of the Order. Dumbledore can't have overlooked the possibilty of Sirius dying, he would have made sure that Number Twelve was left to someone trustworthy...Lots of folks suggest Harry, which is quite likely.

As for Felix Felicius, It doesn't sound like the Minister of Magic, nor does it sound like a spell of some sort. It doesn't really roll off the tongue, as most of the spells seem to. Most likely I think it will be a new character(DADA) of some sort.

I just thought, and this is probaly really random but: spinner, sneakoscope, spinner, sneakoscope? maybe something to do with that. I mean, why did Ron get it for him if it wouldn't be important later? Just a thought though.

It was important later...in PoA....it kept reacting everytime that it was near Scabbers...it was a hint that the rat wasn't all he appeared to be, so I think it's served its purpose now.

Nice idea though.....

Everyone appears to assume that Draco's Detour means that he is physically going somewhere. That's not necessarily so. A detour could mean several things.

Ok, just offering a couple of thoughts on the chapter names (which...I mean, they're just the names of chapters...its not like it would be anything vitally important to the plot, or revealing who the HBP is, or anything...)

Spinners End: Something I read earlier intrigued me. I forget who it was, but they said that Chap. 1 of HBP was a chapter that Rowling had been considering using for other books, and that as such, it would probably contain more information about Voldemort's fall. Being that this is Harry's shortest stay with the Dursley's, this is a distinct possibility. But what if the real interesting stuff about Voldemort's fall (or what he did after he fell, or how he avoided death when the curse bounced back at him) is in the second chapter, and "Spinners End" has something to do with it? Another thought I had was that Aragog dies...and before you kill that one by wondering what Harry is doing at Hogwart's, let me explain it. I don't think Harry will be at Hogwart's; rather, I think it possible that he will discover through his various connections that Aragog the enormous spider that once tried to eat him has died (or been killed). Remember, Rowling said that something Harry discovered in CoS would foreshadow something Harry would discover in HBP; she never said it has anything to do with the identity or the main plot of HBP. And he did discover that Aragog was NOT the creature that had been set loose from the Chamber, perhaps the very reason Hagrid sent him to follow the spiders to begin with.

Draco's Detour: A detour being defined as a roundabout way to get to a particular destination makes it sound like a physical detour, as many have hypothesized, while Draco is on a journey or mission or quest of some sort. If this is so, I would venture to say that he is trying to find some way to get to his father. A detour is also, however, a deviation from a direct course of action, which can have emotional and sociopolitical connotations. This would fuel, of course, the theories that Draco will switch sides. This is plausible, as we learned in SS/PS that Slytherins "those cunning folk use any means to achieve their ends." On the other hand, never came a good wizard from the house of Slytherin. I personally feel that this position is a little too deep for a chapter name, and while Rowling certainly is careful, she is also quite blatant with the chapter names; they are not riddles, and once the chapter is read, they make sense.

Felix Felicis: I have nothing on this one, except that my first thought was a name, though the Cheering Charm bit is particularly intriguing. But I don't know Latin well enough to contribute intelligently as to its meaning, although...there was Felix the Cat, the cartoon, and so I would bank on this character or thing being cat-like in nature, as that is what the most recognizable meaning is, though it is not the correct one. Well, that's my bit.

My guess:

Spinners End will be a place name where Harry will stay for the holiday. It can be where the Order HQ is after Sirius' death.

Draco's Detour: Draco will try to use his father's tactic to switch sides, but actually still working for his father.

Felix Felicis: the new minister of magic

HBP is Salazar Slytherin

Spinner's End- This is obviously in a prime spot for beginning the explanation of Harry's summer. These books are always predictable in terms of the order they are told. The first chapter tends to be a backstory chapter a lot, like SS and GoF. I'll bet that Spinner's End is a place because places in these books have funny names, like The Burrow. I'll bet it is either Lupin's place or some other member of the order. At the end of OotP, Mad-Eye, Lupin, Tonks, they all tell him they'll come get him if they need to. Maybe the Dursleys will do something wretched to him again and they'll whisk him away. It would be neat for Harry to go live with Moody or Lupin for a while, they're cool. Or maybe Dumbledore lives there. That would be neat- invite Harry to stay for a while before going off to The Burrow. Either way, it's where Harry goes.

Draco's Detour- This sounds like Diagon Alley time. Who wants to bet he pays a visit down Knockturn Alley to help out his father? Perhaps he is supposed to be buying his school stuff and sneaks off to buy something else that his father requested. Funny if it were the cabinet Harry hid in! Or the light that only a robber can see. It might help with any sneaking he is supposed to do around Hogwarts.

Felix Felicis- This is definitely a character. In Latin the name means lucky, fortunate, happy. My guess is this is the new DADA teacher who will finally break the curse of dropping like flies after one term. Maybe he'll be both good as opposed to the norm of being evil or possibly evil like Lupin, as well as a good teacher and lucky enough to stay for next year. With that said, perhaps the curse will get transferred to some other teacher, sadly the likely guess is Snape or Hagrid. It also makes sense especially for them because we'll probably learn more about both of them, especially Snape. Isn't it Rowling's favorite way of killing characters off- writing them as though the spotlight is on them and then knocking them off?

Spinner's End: I like the idea that it is a place.. the reason why he leaves the Dursleys early.. hmmm... but when I first heard it.. I thought of spiders... maybe I'm just crazy

Draco's Detour: You have to remember, at the end of OotP, Lucius Malfoy was caught and is imprisoned. So Malfoy is with his mother... now since the dementors are not in Azkaban.. this would make it easier for Draco to help his father escape.. I'm not sure..

Felix Felicis: Who knows, maybe the new Minister, new DADA teacher, or maybe even the HBP... I'm not too sure on this one.. might even be a student we have not heard about or something...

Hi, I agree that Spinner's End is definitely a place - maybe an alleyway, road, suburb?

Certainly Draco will be seeking revenge against Harry and his buddies. But how long his wrath will persist i'm not sure. See i don't believe he's pure evil.

It wasn't explicit that the Dementors left Azkaban but i think from the fact that former Death Eaters like Bellatrix escaped, we can assume that it was the Dementors' doing. If they haven't already left the prison then they will soon and very likely side with Voldemort.

Ah, yes. I remember that part now. The DE's escaping. Thanks.

Yeah, from that we can presume that the Dementors have already chosen their side then. Although at the end of OotP, Lucius and the other DE's (except Bella) has been captured and kept in Azkaban. So, surely DD or the Ministry wouldn't be so foolish enough as to trust these Dementors again, would they? I mean, first time is a mistake but second time is foolish, you know... that's why I still think that the Order or the Ministry are still able to hold some control over them.

Yea, I think that Dumbledore might have used some kinda of enchantment similar to that "invisible rope" he used to capture them in the first place and probably is keeping in a far "safer" place than Azkaban. But now that the dementors are gone, I fear that they will be used to attack both muggles and wizards alike. Who knows... maybe when JKR said that more people die and muggles notice more happenings, i.e. dementors?

Here are my guesses.....

Spinners End - This is Lupin's house. Harry will be taken here from the Dursley's. (Remember shortest stay) This also is the new OotP HQ.

Draco's Detour - Draco will not go on the Hogwarts Express. In fact, now I think of it, he may start going to Durmstrang. Anyways, I like the train idea better, giving a chance for something bad to happen on the train.

Felix Felicius - I used to think this guy would be the new MoM but I've relinquished that position to Percy Weasley. Anyways, this guys will be a new professor. The POTIONS professor as Snape will be the new DAtDA teacher. Hehe. Anyways, the new Potions Prof. is the only way Harry will get into it, and we know he will.

I like the idea of Draco going to Durmstrang "I'd be so easy to push him off a glacier and make it an accident... shame his mother likes him.." Ron Weasley, GoF. But I think him staying at Hogwarts will be important now that his father has been caught as a Death Eater... So he will be eager for revenge. Percy Weasley as MoM.. interesting.. but I think first he will have to succumb to realization that Voldemort is back and he will come grovelling back to his parents. Plus he is a little overenthusiestic and will remain assistant. Also, Snape will not become Potions master for Dumbledore says that it will brign out the worst him him.. But I also have a sneaking suspiscion that Harry will make it into NEWTS Potions... remember the cover of the adult version.. I like it..

3.Felix Felicis
Felix Felicis in latin translation(or some language that it is translated in) means FELIX~CAT and FELICIS~LUCKY and FORTUNATE. If JK was introducing a new character or teacher(DADA) she would definatlly have a chapter about them. Since Felix Felicis means a lucky cat and jk rowling uses certain meanings in her words and their is character X who is described lion-like(lions are a a type of cat), then character X could certainly be named Felix and be the DADA teacher and be lucky and happy and be good for harry and hogwarts.I think character X is named Felix Felicis and he is either teh dada teacher or the MoM or someone.
Thats all i've got so far.


"He looked rather like an old lion. There were streaks of grey in his mane of tawny hair and his bushy eyebrows; he had keen yellowish eyes behind a pair of wire-rimmed spectacles and a certain rangy, loping grace even though he walked with a slight limp."

I like that usage of the name of Felix and the relation to the excerpt... I have a feeling that he is the new DADA teacher. Although I'm also thinking about that new person Mclaggans.

i dont think that Felix is the DADA. It is towards the middle of the book and i dont think that JK will introduce an important character like the DADA so late into the book. Perhaps a new Order member.....

Spinners End-
Got to be a place. It's not going to be somebody's death, because there is no apostrophe. If someone (or something) was going to die it would be possessive, so this is definitly a place. Street, house, probably wherever Harry goes when he leaves the Dursleys.

Dracos Detour-
Lucius will definitly have broken out, even Harry admits that at the end of OotP, but in his immortal words "At least everyone will know what a scum he is" But obviously, even if he has broken out of Azkaban, he's not gonna be walking around like he used to. No more waltzing into the Ministry, no more making fun of Mr. Weasley...yes, our lives are much improved even if he doesn't stay in jail, because his prestige is GONE. So what could Draco be doing? Possibly attacking Harry....I read over on Mugglenet that maybe there is an equivalent to Drivers Ed for wizards, like, Aparition Ed or something, and if there is, then that would be a spot for Draco to make a detour. I, personally, will jump for joy if he splinches himself. <grins> Anyway, this is much to ambiguous to make anything out of.

Felix Felicius-

Again, very ambiguous, as I'm sure JK thought of when she released it. I think it's a little late in the book to be a DADA, and I doubt that JK will break with tradition and give us one teacher for the rest of the series. It could be a new member of the Order, but has anyone ever heard of the surname Felicius? I'm leaning towards this being some sort of object or condition. But if I go on, I'll start/ continue to ramble, and thats just not a good thing...

That is a good idea Quality Quidditch Supplies about Draco attacking Harry at the Aparition test. The detour part is that he could follow Harry afterwards and find out where and what Harry's up to and report it to his father. <ouch just had a brilliant idea> Draco becomes a DE while he is at school. No one would expect a student at Hogwarts to be a DE (with the exception of H/Hr/R).

Hmm.. Yes it would not be outside of Draco's limits to become a DE... he is very sinister.. pure evil.. and I mean, it make sense if he joined right after LV was pushed into the open... LV would be needing more suppprters. So yes, Draco's Detour could be referring to that. I am kind of embarassed to not see that chapter 14 is too late to introduce a new DADA teacher, so maybe Felix Felicis is the MoM.

The ? is is that if Draco became a DE, would DD do anything about it? I think that it is a high posiblity that Draco becomes a DE. This only increases the tension between him and Harry.

MOD EDIT : Right, but what are your thoughts on the New Clues? Please try to make some reference with the topic of the thread otherwise you'd be warned by a mod for being off-topic.

My Ideas

Spnners End - Where the new location of the Order will be held. They can't have it in Sirius' house, because he died. So I think Thats where Harrys going to go to escape from the Dursleys house. Most likely Ron'll send him an owl or something saying we're at this new place called Spinners End blah, blah, blah, We'll get you at (some random time), be ready. And then Harry will probably get picked up. Not sure by who though. But that all happens in the first chapter. And when they arrive it'll probably be some big cool place and we'll have someone go "Welcome to Spinners End, Harry." or some kind of thing that immediatly transfer us onto the second chapter called: Spinners End. (Which I think is the name of the house/place) And so that chapter is based soley on describing the place and what they do there, etc, etc, etc. A bit like OotP, but I think it makes sense.

Draco's Detour - Judging by the length of the book, I think they'll be in Diagon Alley during this chapter, or at least on the Hogwarts Express. I bet Draco's going to do something differently then usual. Go a different route. There's a lot of possibilites and this isn't all that clear

Felix Felicius - Felix means happy, so it may have to do something with that. Personally, I think it's the new MoM. But I did look up Felix and they gave interesting results:

"the Roman procurator of Judea before whom Paul 'reasoned' "

A procurator is: One authorized to manage the affairs of another; an agent.

So maybe he's an agent of some kind?? What do you think? They had more in there if you're interesting.

Spinners End
I somehow think that it is not a place...
Seeing as it is chapter 2, it must include something happy because Harry will be experiencing his shortest stay at the Dursleys'. And as JKR has said in her website, Chapter 1 will be similar to the beginning chapters in GOF, signalling that it will be backstory of some sort probably revolving around Voldemort/Harry's Parents/the Dursley's.

I do like the connection that people have made between Spinner and the device in many boardgames... That was my first interpretation of the title. BUt i dont know how it could fit in the story...

As for the other title names... i really dont know
Draco's Detour - my best bet is the chapter that JKR had between Nott and Malfoy.

Felix Felicius - definetely a name...

Yes, remember we will learn more about Petunia, maybe Spinners End will have to do with that.
Also I remember reading about the scene between Nott and Draco, that could explain Draco's Detour... but I don't remember JKR saying she'd put that chapter back in... did she say that?

Draco's Detour - I think Harry and Draco work together. That'll be why its a detour, normally they are against each other, maybe now they work together on something.

Draco's Detour- possible a detour to beat Harry to somewhere. i don't think that after sending Draco's father to prision he won't "team up" with Harry. In my mind this is the most interesting and exciting chapters in the book.

Detour: a different route than normal, right? This does not necessarily mean Draco will "team up" with Harry or do something "good" but rather something different than normal (i.e. still with malicious intent). Seeing as it's like chapter 6 or something, I doubt that it will have to do with beating Harry somewhere or in something, for it is far too early. It may not even have to do much with Harry. But all I know, it will be very different for Draco.. maybe even out of character...

well i'm new so hello to you all...but i was just thinking what about if felix flicius was a person and was crookshanks. well its true he(crookshanks) did help serius .....just a theroy

Spinner's end : I think it's a place. Like Hog's head, or something like that. I strongly reckon it's a place.

Draco's detour: Draco will probably have a detour and in this, he'll find out something valuable.

If I remember correctly, there is no apostrophe in spinners.. so spinners end.. think of it literally with no special meanings. Spinners (multiple) end.... ending spinning.. stopping confusion.... Just looking at it literally
