My friend and I were discussing this today, we were wondering and greatly puzzled by what their professions would be. I mean did he become an Auror, I think that this is a big possibility, I also agree with Bethdd3's point of view, is there even a need for Aurors anymore? I mean Voldemort and pretty much all of the supporters are gone. But in the same respect we need cops, even when theres no crime, and Military when theres no war, so its possible that they are still needed. I hope that JK answers some of this in her Encyclopedia.

I have the same questions as others.

Ok that Rowling wrote about Harry, Ron, Ginny and Hermione but

- What did they become after finished the school?
- What happened with the others?
- 50 others died. Who are they?

Did George continue Weasley's Wizard Wheezes??? I am so sad that Fred got killed! The only thing I kept thinking is "why couldn't it have been Percy?"

The question I have is how did Stan Shunpike know that Harry was the real Harry?

These are some of the unanswered questions that i believe to have found the answers to

Aunt Petunia - for one shes was not a squib nor a witch who decided not to got to Hogwarts but she was a muggle of muggle parents and when she was trying to send letters to Dumbledore was only so that she might be able to go there like her sister

What Dudley saw when he was attacked by the dementors - J.K. never said that we would actually find out what he saw from the dementors becuase she said that "you will see" not saying that you will find out what he sees and it is insignificant to the fact that Dudley felt more close to Harry before leaving for the last time than he had ever only due to the fact that harry showed Dudley that he, Harry, would still save him even though he tortured him all those years

The Person Who Does Magic Later In Life - had to be Dobby since even though he was a magical creature his kind were forbidden to use wands like winkey in the fourth book so it was as he was doing magic for the first time with a wand later in his life

Many of these questions have been answered.

Stan Shunpike was under the imperius curse - in the book it said when his mask fell off his face was "Oddly Blank" which would mean he was being impurised.

The death eaters knew it was harry because he was the only one who wasn't trying to hurt any death eaters, this was explained to you by Lupin who said when Harry shouted expelliarmus the death eaters started thinkign it was his signature spell, he used it many times, even when fighting Lord Voldemort.

The more to Petunia than meets the eye is the fact that she begged to be let in to hogwarts as well as her sister.

What Dudley saw from the dementors was he would never get a chance to actually sincerly tell Harry that he was sorry for what he had done to him and appreciated him. (that one i'm not sure about)

Behind the Veil. Many of you seem to think there is a big mystery about the veil, or that Siruis never truly died because he fell behind the veil. The veil is the portal between life and death. Harry was so captivated by it because he wished nothing more that to be with his parents again. The ministry studies the veil to try and learn the secrets of death which they never can.

The unopenable door in the department of mysteries. Behind that door is a very simple yet complex thing. It's love.

The King's Cross that Harry sees when he dies. Well as you'll notice, when Harry arrives at that place, Dumbledore tells harry everything. Or should I say Harry tells himself everything with Dumbledore's encouragement. Everything Harry learns, other than that of Dumbledore's past, and about the self-acting wand, he already knows. And when he asks Dumbledore where they are, Dumbledore asks him the same question and Harry tells him Kings Cross. I believe Harry enters a place which feels comfortable with him, which he decides to go on or go back. This is the same place every magical person enters, and it is made to a place that seems comfortable to them, when they die, and the chose to go on or come back as a ghost.The young child Harry finds there is the peice of voldemorts sould that was inside him. It dies while Harry who never truly died goes on. Harry wants to help the child though he is afriad and disgusted by it at the same time. Dumbledore tells him he cannot help the child, it is the same way Harry feels about Voldemort, at the end of the book he tries to help Riddle by making him feel remorse, the only thing that could change him back to human form. Harry cannot die while Voldemort lives because of the protection they carry in their veins. Thats why Voldemort was getting up from unconciousness when Harry awoke again.

Most of these are my own thoughts but I believe them all to be true. Most of the other questions asked have been answered in the book but people would rather not believe them (such as how ron could open the chamber of secrets, and how neville pulled the sword out of the sorting hat.

I've been thinking about the person who managed to do magic late in life. Hurley888, it couldnt have been Dobby because we have seen him use loads of magic before. I thought it would have been one of the squibs, but we only know of two: Mrs. Figg and Filch. Mrs. Figg wasnt even mentioned in the book and although Filch was at the battle of Hogwarts, I cant recall him doing any magic. The only answer I came up with may be far-fetched. Throughout the whole series we have bben told that love is the greatest magic of all. What if this was the "magic" JK was refering to? In that case the person who managed it quite late in life would be Dudley. We have never seen Dudley show love to anyone, not even his parents. But as Harry and Dudley say goodbye for what is sure to be the last time, Dudley shows what I guess could be considered love-- it is at least a positive feeling rather than the negative usually expressed by Dudley towards Harry. As I said, it's farfetched, but it's all I got.

As for aurors not being needed anymore, of course they are. Just because LV was defeated doesn't mean there won't be more Dark Wizards. I mean, before LV there was Grindelwald and probably many others. Just because one criminal is gone doesn't mean there wont be more. Aurors are dark wizard catchers, not just LV and DE hunters.

i have another theory for the person who "does magic later in life". we know crabbe is a wizard but he's never been any good. the Fiend Fyre (spelling?) curse he produced at the end seems extraordinarily powerful for him. perhaps this is what JK was referring too.

To answer the question of who killed Remus and Tonks...I thought it was quite clear that Bellatrix was the one that did it. During the first chapter of the book,it is clear she wants revenge for Tonks marrying a Warewolf and 'tainting' her family's blood line. My guess is that she sought them out during the battle in Hogwarts. This could also explain Mrs Weasley's outburst towards Bellatrix because she knew she had killed Tonks and Remus and therefore the curse aimed at Ginny was the absolute last straw.

I know that someone (or maybe it has been several someones) have answered this, but I am going to say something about Harry's eyes. Whenever someone saw Harry for the first time, they all said..."You look remarkabley like your father, except the eyes. You have your mother's eyes." So, in Snape's memories, DD makes some comment to the effect as...."you see James when you look at Harry, but he is more like his mother." Snape and James hated each other, and Snape probably really hated James because James was also goodlooking and Snape felt that Lily, being as beautiful as she was, would fall for James. They were also on opposites sides, and when Snape called Lily a mudblood, it ended their friendship once and for all, at least in Lily's eyes. Harry asked Lupin and Sirius just how his parents ended up together, and Sirius said it wasn't until their 7th year, when they were Head Boy and Head Girl. We saw Snape and Lily end their friendship in their 5th year. But to me, in seeing Snape's memories, and also recalling what Slughorn said about Lily in book 6, Lily was the first person and most likely only, to be sincerely nice to Snape, and he fell in love with her for life. He wasn't fond of Harry, he was a reminder to Snape that he lost her because of his choices. He also looked like Snape's biggest enemy. But Harry's eyes were just like his mother's, and so I think that seeing Harry's eyes, helped remind Snape why he was helping Dumbledore, for Lily.

My unanswered questions were.....
what did the Potters (James and Lily) do for a living? How did the magical world know exactly what happened when they were killed? How did Voldemort get his wand back after the attack on Harry? How did Lupin and Tonks actually die? What happened to George? And last, why was Hogwarts still sorting? I know that there were others, but really insignificant at this point. I'm sure I will have more when I reread it.
Oh yea, am I the only one who didn't think Harry died? I was led to believe he was unconcious, but not dead, because as someone put it nicely, Voldemort was Harry's Horcrux, kind of. And, also, why couldn't Harry feel the Cruciatus curse when he came back and pretended to be dead? I understand why Voldemort's other curses and spells didn't work on the others because of Harry's sacrifice, but why wouldn't it work on Harry?

i was wondering about the sorting hat...jkr said that we would find out exatly what that hat really was, but i still don't get it. another thing is the whole, "harry gets a new pet" thing...also didn't see that...and who does magic, despite not being a wizard/witch!? i refuse to belive its petunia. and yes, i too, am kinda saddened that the veil never really came back.

I can think of a few answers to questions, but they're just my opinion.

Fawkes: Rowling never said that Fawkes would reappear, infact it seems that the hint she was giving is that he wouldn't be involved in the last book. The whole Fawkes belonging to DD not Hogwarts, how Fawkes would do whatever he wanted once DD died, it just seems more likely that we were all hoodwinked and misinterpretated what she said.

Snape's missing portrait: Maybe Snape didn't have a portrait because he was installed by LV and wasn't a true headmaster. We don't really know how headmasters are usually put in place, and it seems that everyone would have resented him being there. Or maybe Snape didn't consider himself headmaster, he was just doing what DD wanted him to do?

Sirius and the veil: I know this has been answered already but I thought I'd clearify. If you're watched OOTP then it's made very clear that Bella hit Sirius with a killing curse and he was already dead when he fell into the veil.

Elder wand and Grindel(sp): There's been questions about how DD could defeat Grindlevald and the wand would accept him as it's new master, as Grindelvald wasn't it's true master (he stole it). All I can say is that the wand does play a part in choosing it's master. So the wand would have choosen DD and not worked properly for Grindelvald. Then the wand chose Draco as it's new master, even though Snape killed DD. I don't think this was just because Draco disarmed DD. Perhaps the wand is attracted to power, knew that DD was in the process of dying and then transfered? Strange and obscure, I know, but it makes some sense. Then when Harry came into the picture, he was more powerful then Draco so the wand went willingly to Harry. Also, this explains why Harry wasn't hurt by the cruscio curse sent by LV, because the wand wouldn't turn against it's master. Infact, that seems to suggest that the wand is slightly sentenant.

And I also like the theory that Dudleys act of love towards Harry was the magic later in life!

Other then that, I still have tons of questions, but hopefully it will just be a matter of waiting.

Yes, I am sure Andromeda raised him. She lost her husband and daugther to Voldemort, I am sure she would not give up Teddy for anything Shame she had to suffer the most out of the three sisters.

To me, I don't think there were many unanswered questions.
The veil, King's Cross, and Harry's eyes were explained enough for me. And I think a lot of things are meant to be left for you to make your own interpretation/decision.

I felt the dead that the Resurrection Stone brought back being like they were "behind a veil" confirmed that the veil was some kind of gateway.
On another note, we never knew the spell that pushed Sirius through the veil (we were only told that the one he just missed before that was red), but the fact that Harry, who had seen Sirius get hit, was hopeful he'd come back through the other side of the veil may have indicated that the spell was not Avada Kedavra (although it may have been total denial.)
The film having Sirius killed by Avada Kedavra, to me anyway, is not important to the events in the book.

Also, I thought it was clear that "King's Cross" was completely in Harry's head. He gave himself all the answers there. The "doesn't mean it's not real" meant that Harry can believe that he had seen Dumbledore at peace, and that the answers he gave himself are valid.
Although, I think this was something you have to interpret yourself.

Harry's eyes, others have explained, were important for Snape to be able to help Harry.


Something that bothers me slightly was that we were told we would get answers that we weren't clearly given, although I don't think these clear answers are particularly important.
We weren't told what Harry's parents did for a living, and that this would be important to the story. In the story we got, in the end, their jobs weren't important, although it may have been nice to know.
We weren't told, either, what exactly Dudley saw when attacked by dementors, but I don't think what he saw matters, just the effect this had on him.
We don't know who the person was who was meant to do magic late in life was, but, if this made it in the book, I don't think it matters as an answer to the question. Although it will be interesting to know if JKR ever tells us who it was meant to be.


Here's my one question that I can think of that I really want answered:
Did James, Sirius and Remus know that Snape loved Lily?
I'm sure they would have know that he 'liked' her, and I'm sure I should have grasped more of this answer by reading through the books. But I want to know if any of them knew that Snape loved Lily so completely.

I didn't mean to make this post so long; I think I've written essays shorter!

Gone!

Hi. My first post here...

Although it's obviously supposed to be a children's book, I think that one of the big lessons JK has for everyone in DH is that PEOPLE DIE. Pleople don't necessarily "deserve it" and it doesn't have to be "spectacular". It just happens sometimes...

A lot of people (especially children) who lost friends or family members have a lot of terrible feeling of guilt, lots of "why" and "how was it possible?" questions, and it's just hard to accept that a loved one is no more. There are no reasons it happened sometimes, it could have been a stupid accident or an illness, or -- as in the book -- they were fighting for something (e.g. soldiers, fighters against terrorism or its victims, etc) and they died.

I think JK was brilliant in the way she composed the DH. I'm not saying the book is perfect (lots of you pointed out a number or "mistakes" or things that would rather have been solved), but I think that this is precisely the point: that not everything is known and that not everything has an answer. This is so much like in real life!!

i think your very right not everything has to be answered whats the point in that realy it leaves people with questions and stuff well we will never find out the unsolved questions because theres no moe books what a shame.

ooh jk rowling gave an interview that gives loads of details away http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZBZ4ZD5lwRM

the trios jobs etc, theres still unanswered questions but that covers some of them!

hi all. I think the one thing most f all that i really wanted to know was how both harry's parent and neville's parents managed to defy LV three times apiece. I think hats whats bothering me the most is not knowing that or what Harry's parents had done for a living. I guess we will have to wait till she does the encyclopedia that she just promised us in her last interview.

Why do ghosts come back?

And what did the Potters do for a living.

I went into the book looking for those answers and came out still looking for them.

I was browsing the internet earlier, and I found the text from an interview that came out today I think and in it JKR says the trio's jobs, whats going on with Luna and the teachers. I'll post the link, its pretty enlightening, as to their lives.
http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/19959323/

It's interesting, but i think it should have been mentioned in the book :\

No, I believe is is whatever remained of Voldemort's soul after all the damage that he has done to it. It was in King's Cross together with Harry because the Killing Curse downed both Voldemort and Harry, though it killed only the "horcrux" inside Harry. Voldemort's soul was repulsive, powerless, and crying. The most powerful wizard of all had the most pitiful and helpless soul. That there was any soul left at all, and that it was crying, is encouraging, though. It means that he did have the power to repent and would have become whole again if he had, and that at least one small part of him was able to pass on.

"Beyond help", Dumbledore said, but eternity is a long time.



Good question! Immaterial to the plot, so it's just one of those things left open to guesses. A pureblood, I'm sure. Pansy, maybe.



I think they've held on to the Manor and each other, but lost quite a bit of their reputation. I expect they rallied around their pureblood friends, all licking their wounds and not wanting to look too closely at their failures. Lucius did love Draco in the end for more than just being his heir, but I'm afiraid that it will take the Malfoys generations to build any courage.



Oh, she is back in the Ministry trying to be important, I expect.

There is more to Petunia -- the thing we weren't supposed to know is that she had been envious of her sister and had written a letter to Dumbledore pleading for admission to Hogwarts. She hated magic -- because she had so desperately wanted to be a witch and was rejected.


Voldemort learnt about what happened to the diary not from the diary itself, but from hearing that the Chamber of Secrets had been opened in the year before he came back. He was very angry with Lucius Malfoy for having cared so poorly for his prized possession.
I don't know exactly when he created the Horcrux in Nagini -- the best theory says that it was with the killing of the old caretaker in Riddle's house, just after his return on English soil. Before that, he might not have been strong enough to do his own killing.


Yes, I too find the explanation about the Elder Wand's ownership confusing and contradictory. Unless indeed stealing is a way of conquering the previous owner that passes ownership with diminuished power. In any case, an unbeatable wand that can be stolen isn't a very nice thing, it only perpetuates disloyalty and strife. Good riddance!


Why all this talk about Teddy coming to live with the Potters or being cared for his grandmother, if it was Ted Tonks who died and his own mother Nymphadora is still alive? Where does it say that 'Dora died?

bethdd3 -- Aurors would be needed at any time. The defeat of one Dark wizard doesn't kill Evil. Other wizards or witches may be tempted to the Dark Side. Think of what Snape said about the Dark Side in his first lesson as appointed DADA teacher.
I agree -- on first reading about them, I was taken aback, because I thought the plots of the series could be resolved quite well without the Hallows. It felt to me as if JKR was introducing them just for the sake of putting in something pivotal that nobody could have guessed about. And the manner in which they were disposed of was cheap also. Ugh.

The Person Who Does Magic Later In Life -- I'm stumped who it could be. I'd love it if it were Argus Filch. He so deserves it.

Sorry if this has already been a question, not sure if it says in the book or not but:

I'd like to know who killed Tonks?

I know she said Bellatrix would of loved to have, been her cousin and all and then marrying a werewolf (lupin) but still not sure.

I'm not sure, but I think we're supposed to assume it was Bellatrix. Perhaps it isn't relevant, perhaps JK tells us in her Encyclopedia I hope so!

My question is: Why is Hogwarts protected from people Apparating in, if, as far as I gather from OOTP, Voldemort Apparated into the Ministry offices? Isn't it the most important building in Wizarding Britain?

xx

Ok, I have a question that is answered in the book, but I didn't exactly understand the answer, so if those a bit smarter than me could explain it, I would greatly appreciate it.
How exactly did Voldemort die?
I didn't really understand it... did the Killing Curse backfire on him because he was not the true owner of the Elder Wand? Was that it? I re-read that passage a few times, but still drew a blank... if someone could help me out, much appreciated.

Yes, it did. It could not kill Harry, as Harry was the master of the Wand, so the Wand rebounded the Curse upon the person that cast it. Having lost all his Horcruxes, and refusing to show remorse, Voldemort died.

Just an afterthought: I wonder if he got a funeral, or was buried?

xx

The reprieved character was Mr. Weasley, and the two that were not supposed to die were Lupin and Tonks.

This is said in an interview with J.K. that can be found here:
http://www.usatoday.com/life/books/news/20...-spoilers_N.htm

Ya know I came to that realization just last night actually. I was reading the book for the second time, reading everything when that thought crossed my mind.. No matter how you look at it Harry and Voldemort are related. But I found a family tree, and found out that the slytherin's were decendants of the Peverells, so Voldemort came from Camdums one of the Peverell's brothers (one of the deathly hallows holders) Harry came from Ignotus (the cloak holder) So only Voldemort would be the decendant not harry.. Just Harry and Voldemort are distant relatives... here is the family tree

Peverell Family Tree


How's that?

I have a few theories of my own regarding some of the questions.

Harry's parents: They didn't need to work. In DH it says somewhere that whoever had the Invisibility Cloak was rich. That is where Harry's inheritance came from.

Late magic in life: This may be a stretch, but even though Trewlaney was a teacher and a Seer, we never see her use actual magic. In her classroom she has the students retreive the cups, hands Neville a broom when he breaks a cup. She never uses her wand (that I can remember) until the battle at Hogwarts.

Harry and LV related? Sirius says in OoTP that at some point allpure-blood families are related. So, somewhere along the line they are all related.

Godric's Hollow: Who else was there? Could it have been Bathilda Bagshot? Just a theory.

Hya im new 2 this. i think that all of the missing answers and the not mentioning of the main characters in the epilogue may have something to do with the fact that if in the future JKR wants to carry on with HP, she will be able to without already having given too much info away. if you get me?

JK Rowling said many times that she plans on staying 'done' with Harry Potter. She will not swear it on her kid's lives, but she is almost certain. She has said, however, that she 'probably will' write a Harry Potter Encyclopedia that will wrap a lot of loose ends up, give details about things we may want to know, as well as delve deeper into side stories that we didn't learn about. I am very hopeful for this addition, and I hope she doesnt take too long to start writing it!

My burning question is, if the Elder Wand cannot be beaten in a duel, how did Dumbledore defeat the Elder Wand carrying Grindelwand in a duel to become the new master of the Wand?

I'm not sure where to post this question, so I will post it here.

Who were the two characters that JKR did not "intend" to kill?

Anyone have any theories??

Regarding 8, severus did make the spell himself so its possible he had a cure. Also, Malfoy got slashed - he didnt really have a part of his body get cut off him.

I always thought that somehow Hermione and Harry were siblings, I was sad that I was wrong in that...but
I just thought there was a deeper connection and not romantically.

I'm still a little confused about how Draco was the Elder Wand master, but then it became Harry? I can't figure it out. I'm probably just a little slow, but oh well. If anyone could answer my question that would be great! Another unanswered question I have is what happened to the Dursleys after they were taken to protection by the Order, and what did Dudley see/hear when the dementor's attacked him.

Having read through all the pages of this thread, I notice that a lot of questions and answers have been repeated; it is frustrating that people don't bother to read before asking a question; some people don't even seem to have read the books!

Ted Tonks was, I believe, a muggle-born wizard.

I assume that Bellatrix Lestrange killed Tonks and Lupin.

I imagined that Harry, Ron and Hermione became aurors and that Hermione would one day become Minister of Magic - according to an interview that JK recently gave, this seems as least partly true.

The veil is the doorway to death. Sirius was not killed by Bellatrix, she stunned him and he fell through the veil.

If we take the Kings Cross sequence to be truth and not a figment of Harry's imagination (which is possible but definitely not certain) then I believe that Dumbledore was able to be there and communicate with Harry because he had, in a way, mastered death - he had organised his own death in pursuit of the greater good. Therefore he is still dead but possibly able to do more than your average dead person.

I think Harry's new pet may have been Buckbeak - didn't Sirius leave Buckbeak to him.

I like the theory asserted by a few posters that the Muggle or Squib who performed magic later in life was Dudley, and that magic was his love for Harry. I find that to be quite poetic.

Teddy was obviously brought up by Andromeda because Harry says in the epilogue that he visits 4 times a week - if he lived there, he wouldn't be visiting. Also, why would an almost 18-year-old take charge of a baby who happened to be his godson when there was a (presumably) loving grandmother in the picture?

Also, while it has not been confirmed by JK I would assume that Harry, Ron and Hermione did their 7th year at Hogwarts the next year, joining Ginny's class. And I would like to think that McGonnagal (mis-spelt that I think) gave them automatic Outstandings in Defence Against the Dark Arts!!

In response to the question about the elder wand, Draco disarmed Dumbledore; later, Harry disarmed Draco. It was said that the owner of the wand did not havr to be killed to lose its power. Therefore Harry was then the rightful owner of the wand.

actually, i was reading a J. K. rowling interview, and the one that got a reprieve was actually mr. weasley.

and to answer some questions on the board...here.
that might answer your questions.

Like many have said. . .I am slightly angry we didn't find out Harry's parents professions.
Or the character that did magic late in life.
Or more about the veil.
Or more about the department of mysteries.
Or which deaths Voldemort made his horcruxes from.
Or that we didn't see Dudley again, or Petunia.

It's just. . .hopefully she answers some of these questions in an encyclopedia or in the online chat next monday.

Okay so I don't know whether I missed something in the book or whether it just wasnt there. I read somewhere on Veritaserum.com that JKR said that Harry's eye color would be important in the 7th book. But I dont remember reading anything that said something about his eye color... So yea if anyone has the answer that would be helpful =]

The question of the Veil. I think we have got to look at it as a door with no escape. The only reason Harry, Luna, and Neville could hear voices were because they lost people who really close to them, as like the thestrals. You could hear them but if you followed you too would be lost.

It was obvious that Victoire in the epilogue must be Bill and Fleur's child.

The character who got the reprieve: Very easily could be Harry, himself, but jk rowling said she has known the end of the story from the beginning. So, that would perhaps mean that someone else, maybe Hagrid, but for what reason I don't know. Neville also could be a good guess.

One question that has puzzled me, is why didn't Harry ever call on Kreacher. The only possible answer is that Harry must have thought that he was dead.

Fred Weasley was meant to die. There is no way that rowling could allow for the whole family to be spared.

Lupin and Dora could be the ones that were not supposed to die, but why did colin creevey have to die.



The importance of Harry's eyes could be that it was a constant reminder to Severus. Even when he died he wanted Harry to look at him. That is the thing, aside from hatred to LV, that kept Snape in line. Maybe that is the point with the whole eyes thing.

The magic later in life is still a mystery. Definitely not Petunia, unless she broke the limb, but there is no concrete evidence. Plus she would have went mad, because you can't keep it locked up. So this answer remains unknown.

I like to think that Luna is married to Neville. Malfoy probably married pansy.

Oh, and Xeno went to Azkaban. Not killed.

All of the races that entered the battle in the end, especially the centaurs. Was symbolic to the statue that stood in the MoM.

Lavender was bitten by Greyback, does that make her a Werewolf now or did she die?



Buckbeak was Harry's new pet, but I would have liked it to have been the dragon.

Neville definitely pulled the sword from the hat. The sorting hat survived the fire.

King's cross was a sort of purgatory/limbo. Harry's complete soul was there and the partial soul of Voldemort. It was a way for jk to explain what was had happened, maybe as reprieve.

I believe that harry having Lily's eyes was important because Snape loved Lily and his last words were "Look ... at ... me ..." I took me ages to realise, but i believe it was so he could remember Lily for one last time vie Harry's eyes=Lily's eyes. But that's just me. So think that's why it was important.

But one thing i don't get was this-what was it to Aunt Petunia that was more than what met the eye? I think it was the fact that she begged Dumbledore to let her go to Hogwarts as well, but i'm not sure. It it was, then awwww! She wanted to be a witch ... , i don't even know why i'm finding that sweet ...

But yeah, also, who was the person who does magic late in life?



I like to think that Kings Cross was what was behind the veil and the people who die as well as those who go though the veil end up there (obviously the magic ones), and take the train to the afterlife (Or where ever the heck you go) and that Dumbledore is the gatekeeper and tells people where to go.

But your ideas cool too.

jk said in an interview that...
“McGonagall was really getting on a bit”
so that must mean there is a new headmaster/mistress and she also said the job of dada is no longer jinxed..

"“I think that Luna is now traveling the world looking for various mad creatures,” Rowling said. “She’s a naturalist, whatever the wizarding equivalent of that is.”"




"Rowling said her original epilogue was “a lot more detailed,” including the name of every child born to the Weasley clan in the past 19 years. (Victoire, who was snogging Teddy — Lupin and Tonks’ son — is Bill and Fleur’s eldest.)"
so you are right and im assuming as she said eldest they have more children.


and i think i read somewhere that it was Mr. Weasley that got a reprieve.. but then again im not sure....

i've been just reading this topic, restraining myself from posting, because most of the questions that have been going through my head were already posted.

many of you have been wondering about Harry's parent's profesion: that was them being in the ORDER OF PHOENIX, which is rather important to the plot. but everyone was expecting them to had been aurors, or something of that sort. well, that has not been revealed yet, but i don't think any profestion could be as important as the Order for the books.

i would have liked to know more about certain characters, but i look forward to the encyclopedia promissed by JKR.

i don't think the veil is very important, it's in the DoM so it is a mystery isn't it? and JK did explain Sirius is really dead when Harry walked into the forrest to LV, because Sirius was with him and his parents and Lupin.

I just don't get why DD told Harry about the Deathly Hallows if he didn't want him to chase them just like he did? and why did Ginny and other 'kids' try to steal Griffindors sword? (chapter The Goblins Revenge)

My guess is that it was Hagrid who did magic late in life. He was never allowed to since being expelled, but the ban seems to have been lifted during the Battle of Hogwarts.

SOOO many questions but the biggest one for me has not yet been put forth. How did Georges life continue, how did hi take it?

This question and all the others seem to point I hope on some kind of future correction. I so hope JK will answer this questions, I want the story to end so I can swallow it and feel the warmth.

I thought that the fact that Harry had his mother's eyes was very significant. Snape's last words to Harry were, "Look at me." He wanted to see the eyes of the woman he loved all his life one last time.





Harry had his mother's eyes. Snape was in love with Lily until the day he died. The last thing he said to Harry was, "Look at me." Snape wanted to see the eyes of his lifelong love one last time.

IN THE CHAPTER KING'S CROSS WHEN HARRY AND DUMBELDORE R CONVERSING THERE IS SOMETHING ROCKING AND MAKING NOISES EVERY NOW N THEN WAT IS THIS THING?
WHOM DID DRACO MARRY?WHAT HAPPENED TO HIS PARENTS?
