By the way Gwenog, I know its probably not true, but I like to think that Hagrid replaced Snape as headmaster, simply because he deserved it.
awww yeah that idea is really brilliant

...especially after lupin was killed because I always imagined him to become Headmaster in the end...I dont know he just seems such a brilliant and nice teacher that I would have liked him to be headmaster....but well he is dead
but I like your idea! hagrid would have been awesome too! at least the speech at the beginning and end of the school year would have been so hilarious...
to the Pansy/draco thing: well i quite agree with the theory that he has just left his past behind and therefore Pansy too who just belonged to this anti-harry era...

I didn't read all the way through this so I apologize if someone did answer this. But, after reading some I realized that the question about someone doing magic later in life was left unanswered for me as well. I guess I would have to ask also what happened to Draco between the time he ran away from Hogwarts with Snape until we see him again at his parents house. He didn't seem like himself. He didn't seem to have much "spirit" in him. I too would like to know what happened to Luna and her father. I was also wondering about what happened to Cho and Seamus. I think we should know more about how Percy knew to come to Hogwarts for the fight. Since he changed his mind I would like to know how things went between him and his family after the battle. Did Arthur stay working at the ministry. We don't really see what happens with Molly. I don't remember but does JKR mention what Ginny was doing when she left the Room of Requirement. I think I remember that she was told to stay there and that she didn't. Did it say where she went? I too feel the veil was led up to be more important and it didn't show up again.

Where to begin?
What was the childlike creature in "Kings Cross?"
How did the sword end up in the Sorting Hat after Griphook made off with it?
What made Percy have a change of heart?
What happened to Reg Cattermole and his family?
Why did Fred have to die?

*sobs*
Sorry, lost my cool for a second there.
Hopefully my questions will be answered someday!

The childlike creature was the Dark Lord. Or part of him, in any case. When the Dark Lord threw the killing curse at Harry, he killed the part of his soul that lay inside, but because part of Harry was also in the Dark Lord (from the resurrection), Harry did not die. Instead, he was left in Limbo, where he made the choice to come back. This is why Dumbledore had the gleam in his eye at the end of Goblet of Fire after Harry told him what happened. Up until that point, Dumbledore would have believed that the only way Harry could defeat the Dark Lord was to die himself. Now, he knew there was a chance that Harry could survive.
Griphook was wrong...the sword was truly Godric Gryffindor's. The Sorting Hat provided it for Neville just as it had for Harry in the Chamber of Secrets, because it was meant to be available to any true Gryffindor in his or her time of need.
I'm not privy to Percy's state of mind; I can only hope that he eventually decided that family was more important than assumed status. Why JKR killed Fred is beyond me...too cruel!

7. Goblin and elf magic works differently from human magic. Then why was Griphook unable to escape Malfoy Manor through apparition as Dobby did?
8. George's ear was severed by Sectumsempra, dark curse so couldn't be reattached. But Snape fixed up Malfoy easy enough after Harry cursed him
7. Yes Goblin and Elf magic works differently than wizard magic, but we can not just assume that Goblin and Elf magic works in the same way. They could be, and likey are, completely different from each other. Also, from what I picked up during Ron and Griphook's argument over Goblin's vs. Wizards...The main part of Goblin's skill is in creating weapon's and jewelry and that type of thing. The reason that elve's can apparate anywhere no matter what is to better serve their master's. They have to be able to get to their master no matter where he/she is. Goblins have no master therefore they do not have this skill.
8. I am not 100% on this one, but I am going to attempt to answer your question anyway. For one, Snape did not have to attach any limbs back on Malfoy, just heal his cuts, so that is most likely a completely different spell. Another is that Snape, being more of a supporter for the dark side than most, may have known a dark spell to heal dark magic that most members of the Order of the Pheonix did not know.
However, I have a question that I really hope someone can answer, because I have been wondering this for awhile. It may already be answered, but I could not find it anywhere so...Why was Dumbledore not included in the group brought back by the ressurection stone? I would have thought that Dumbledore would be the first person Harry would want to see.
Also, did Harry choose who came back with the ressurrection stone?
MISIA
Oct 16 2007, 07:57 PM
with the ressuraection stone i think there's a lot of people that should have been included like dd and snape, but i thinik he's mad at dd at the moment because he was "using him" to get the horcruxes and then die.
this sounds like a stupid question but: can you see george's brains/ the inside of his skull though the hole in his head, or is it just a big black hole?
Gwenog
Oct 17 2007, 10:46 AM
nooo I dont think you can see his brain as his brain may be protected through bones and stuff and is a little higher I think (yes my biology is not that good)
but I remember JK saying on the live chat that its just a big black hole..and that he never wanted to get a magical ear ( like mad eye had a magical eye you know )

akima
Oct 31 2007, 05:03 PM
I'm guessing that since Snape invented the Sectumsempra spell, then he probably also invented a counter curse. After all, he did the same for levicorpus (libracorpus). Since George's ear was sliced clear off, in the midst of battle, I doubt Snape could have reattached it, let alone done so without blowing his cover.
Gwenog

When someone dies, any spells or curses they had made would die with them... (for example, when Dumbledore died, the "petrificus totalus" spell on Harry went away.
However, even though Moody died... the curses done by Moody at Grimmauld Place were still intact. Why?

Hi everyone, I would like to try and answer the question quite a few people have been asking which is:
Who was the person who did magic later in life?
I think that this person MAY have been Dudley.
You see, as it is mentioned in a few of the books prior to DH,
LOVE is the most important and powerful type of magic. I think it has been DD whoo has said that most of the time but allthe same.
As HARRY says and i quote:
' Yeah, but coming from Dudley that's like "I love you", said Harry torn between annoyance and a desire to laugh as Aunt Petunia continued to clutch at Dudley as if he had just saved Harry from a burning building.'
So, what do you lot think?

Dec 8 2007, 03:14 AM
something that has been bothering me for awhile is harry's genealogy.
not sure if it's necessary. but i'll do the spoiler thingy
» Click to Show Spoiler - Click Again to Hide... «
harry descends directly through james to the third brother of the peverells as proved by the cloak
LV descends directly through the gaunt line to the second brother of the peverells as proved by the ring
LV descends directly through the gaunt line to salazar slytherin as proved by the locket
if LV is in the direct line of the peverells and slytherin, and harry is in the direct line of the peverells, wouldn't that make him de facto in the direct line of slytherin as well?
i'm not absolutely incredible at genealogy, but if i err will someone please correct me? because it's been bugging the heck out of me ever since the night the 7th book was released. i need some relief.

oh i have a question, i hope it hasn't been asked yet but i haven't read the 25 pages...
how come harry became an auror when what they did was to fight against Death-Eaters? I supposed there weren't anymore since Voldemort died... or were Aurors just like muggle "police-men" ?

aurors don't just fight death eaters, just the dark arts in general...for the past couple of years hwever the death eaters have been their main concern, i'm sure that the whole auror office got a lot quieter with voldemort and his supporters gone though
Witherwings
Dec 11 2007, 01:41 AM
Yeah, like it was said, Auror's are Dark-Wizard fighters, not Death Eaters. But I guess in that case it was mainly the DE's, but there were still plenty of Dark Arts out there after DH, so they must've had opportunities.

Q.Do you think Stan Shunpike was really under the Imperius curse, or was he a Death Eater?
A. Yeah i think he was under the curse becasue in the 3rd year wqhen he goes on that night bus why didnt he try anything he could of took harry or something but he never.
Q.What happened to Moody's body? We know that the Ministry got his eye, so I'm assuming that they found his body too... did they bury it? or did they only find the eye and the body was elsewhere?
A. I not realy sure what happened to his body they must of found it and disposed of it so no one would find it.
Q.What happened to Luna and all of the other students that aren't covered in the epilogue?
A. No idea
Q.How did Lupin and Tonks die? It mentioned Harry seeing their bodies, but how did they die? Who killed them?
A.I think they were just killed in battle maybe she was going to die and lupin jumped in front and they both died maybe i dint realy know.

What do you think?
Gwenog
Dec 16 2007, 10:52 AM
nobody did magic in late life because Rowling said she had already forgotten about it while she was writing the book.
when asked who the person was she said
"Are you sure I said that? Hmm....I left it out then. Nobody did."
or something similar. (I am very sure about the "Are you sure I said that?")

Dec 17 2007, 07:18 PM
Hi everyone!
tigger2008, I'm pretty sure that the girl Teddy was kissing (Victoire I think it was her name...) was actually Bill and Fleur's daughter. I thought that from the first moment I read the name, because it's french.
And also, if I remember well, Jo said that in an interview.
And
Gwenog is right about the fact that Jo didn't include after all that bit about the muggle doing magic later in life and that she said that in a more recent interview, even though she said someone will perform magic later in life in one of earlier interviews.
She just forgot about this thing or changed her mind or something...
fleur, I have the same question as yours and I'll ask it again, maybe someone knows and answers us:
» Click to Show Spoiler - Click Again to Hide... «
Harry is a descendent to the third brother of the peverells as proved by the cloak.
LV descends through the gaunt line to the second brother of the peverells as proved by the ring.
LV descends directly through the gaunt line to salazar slytherin as proved by the locket.
If LV is in the direct line of the peverells and slytherin, and harry is in the direct line of the peverells, wouldn't that make him de facto in the direct line of slytherin as well?

By the way, I used the spoiler tags because it is a major spoiler, I think, and
fleur used them too for the question, but is it still necessary to use them? I thought the VTM spoiler policy for book seven ended a couple of months ago or something like that.
17ginny17
Dec 20 2007, 01:02 AM
In answer to
fleur, I believe that Salazar Slytherin was way down the line of the second brother, and LV even farther down than that, so all connections to the third brother would be meaningless so many generations later...
Now for my personal idea (although I’m not sure if it really makes sense): Is it possible that the entire wizarding world is descended from the Peverell brothers? Meaning, the three brothers were the first wizards. Then, everyone would be a descendant of one of the brothers. This might also explain some wizardng genealogy issues: the “magic” would be passed down into a large portion of their descendants (magical folk), but the same way that the three brothers ‘came about’ magic, muggle-borns could show signs of magic on their own. I’m not sure if this is possible, but it seems reasonable to me. Hope it helped!
And to whoever asked about who Teddy was kissing: it was Victiore. I’m not quite sure how everyone knows this, but Wikipedia said so, and if Wikipedia says so, it’s probably true.
Oh and a question of my own: does anyone have any definite information about marriages: Luna, Draco, Percy, George, etc? Thanks!

fleur
Dec 20 2007, 03:46 AM
thanks for the replies!
i guess on second thought it depends on when the peverells existed in relation to slytherin.
if slytherin came first, then i believe he must be an heir.
if the peverells came before slytherin then they would just be distant relations.
was there a year on the gravestone of ignotus peverell? does anyone know what it was?
and what century did slytherin live in? i guess whatever century hogwarts was founded. which i do not recall. the 11-1300's or something like that.
i'm sure she had the peverells come first. she wouldn't write in a plot hole THAT big would she?

This is something that I just thought of, did Wormtail ever repay Harry for saving his life. Remember in Prisoner of Azkaban when Harry stops Lupin and Sirius from killing him it was said that wormtail now was indebted to him. Did he ever redeem himself for that? Maybe I missed it but I was expecting something like that to come up.
17ginny17
Dec 20 2007, 09:16 PM
Yeah, Wormtail did repay Harry. When Harry & co were in the Malfoy's dungeon, and wormtail was supposed to kill Harry, i believe. he showed mercy and paused when harry reminded him of the debt, and then the silver hand came up to choke and kill wormtail. Thus, Harry lived and the debt was payed.
Now I have a question: did the house elves ever get freed--did Hermione do that, or did she give in and just let them be?
Also--something to think about: Is Professor Trelawney really a fraud? If you look back on her predictions, other than the Harry dying part (which is arguable, because of the visit to kings cross), most of the predictions came true. For example, I believe at some point she told Lavender to beware of a red-headed man--Ron, who was her boyfriend and then made her really sad by breaking up. Is divination a total scam after all...?

I have a question. It is probably not an unanswered question per se, but I don't get it:
1) People are making a lot of fuss about somewhere where Petunia talked about "that awful boy". Where is this, which book? Did we ever find out who said awful boy is? Is it Snape or James or ...?
2) Who sent the howler to Petunia? I thought it was Dumbledore, but looking back I can't tell, although I am very prone to missing the obvious. And what, exactly, was whoever's Last that Petunia had to remember? Was it when she sent a letter wanting to go to hogwarts? a letter that was with baby harry on her doorstep?
?

Surely it must be snape.
In OotP petunia says she heard lily and "that awful boy" talking about dementors. In DH we see the overheard conversation between snape and lily about dementors.
I think the howler was from dumbledore. At the time of reading OotP I thaught it was about the letter dumbledore left when harry was left with the dursleys. But now I am not too sure. It could very well be about her rejection from the magical world. It fits in certain ways, I think this is an answer we will have to find out from JK rowling herself.
MissRandom
Hmm, well from what I remember in the book harry does touch it and it burns him, but I think that when he left the vault the curse was lifted, so the curse would only be active in the vault. Or maybe it was an honest mistake by JK rowling. I mean it must be impossible to write a ?609? page book with no mistakes??
Hope this answers your questions.

Jan 4 2008, 11:05 AM
Ok, thanks! That makes more sense now...
By the way, I don't think it actually said how to become a ghost, but I figure it has something to do with if you died unhappy or unfulfilled, like with the Grey Lady or Bloody Baron.
A possible idea: when witches/wizards die they go to "kings cross" and can choose the "train" or going back as a ghost...
Xxfrankee-babyxX
Jan 4 2008, 10:12 PM
17ginny17
Your theory of ghosts does make sense, and you are probably right. Shows like "medium" and "ghost whisperer" have also highlighted that spirits remain if they have unfulfilled business, or that they are just too scared to move on.
Does anyone have a theory on Draco's wife? I think it was probably Pansy Parkinson. Also how did they get the idea to name their son "scorpius"
Also after voldy died, would the death eaters still have the dark mark tattoo? Or would the spell end with the spell casters death?

Actually, you CAN make a book that long without any mistakes. Difficult, but possible. The curse being lifted is a posibility, too, though. Thank you.
Well, I remember at the end of OotP Harry approaching Dir Nicolas about it. He states that you have a sort of 'option'- to go on to the 'next life' or whatever you like to call it, or to stay on earth as a ghost. So...not really sure how it's
done, but you definitley get to choose.

I'm confident that they would still have the dark mark. It isn't a tatoo, it's been branded onto them. And I doubt a normal sort of branding, either. Probably a special sort to last forever, since it was done by Voldemort himself. However, I do think it will fade over time. In GoF it states that as Voldemort starts coming back to power the Dark Mark gets darker and darker- more like when it was oringinally placed there. So when he was out of power, it had begun to fade. I believe it will always be even a
little bit there, but much, much more faint over time.

Yeah, I think that's true! I expected it to be a character we've already met beforehand. Anyways, I have more helpful facts for you. Again, these are all from a reliable source, saying JKR said these in an interview.
- Hagrid did not marry

- Viktor Krum eventually found love in Bulgaria
- Cho Chang ended up marrying a muggle
- Victoire's birthdate is May 2nd, 1999, The one year anniversary of Voldemort's death- That's why her name's Victoire: It means Victory in French! This, however, is inaccurate to the series because she would already be out of school when Albus started, but Teddy Lupin came to see her off
- Harry becomes an Auror for the Ministry of Magic, and is later appointed head of the department. He keeps Sirius's motorcycle, which Arthur Weasley repaired for him, but he can no longer speak Parseltongue after Voldemort's soul fragment inside him was destroyed.
- Ginny Weasley plays for the Holyhead Harpies Quidditch team for a time, leaves to establish a family with Harry and later becomes the lead Quidditch correspondent for the Daily Prophet.
- Ron Weasley works at George's store for a time, Weasleys' Wizard Wheezes, then joins Harry as an Auror.
- Hermione finds her parents in Australia and removes the memory modification charm she had put on them for safety. She initially works for the Ministry of Magic in the Department for the Regulation and Control of Magical Creatures, greatly improving life for house elves and their ilk. She later moves to the Department of Magical Law Enforcement and assists in eradicating oppressive, pro-pureblood laws.
- George Weasley continues his successful joke shop and names his first child Fred, in memory of his late twin brother.
- Firenze is welcomed back into his herd, who finally acknowledge the virtue of his pro-human leanings.
- Dolores Umbridge is arrested, interrogated, and imprisoned for crimes against Muggle-borns.
- Kingsley Shacklebolt is the permanent Minister for Magic, with Percy Weasley working under him as a high official. Among the reforms introduced by Shacklebolt, Azkaban no longer uses Dementors. Consequently, the world is now a "much sunnier place". Harry, Ron, and Hermione have also been instrumental in reforming the Ministry.
- At Hogwarts, Slytherin House has become more diluted and is no longer the pureblood bastion it once was, although its dark reputation lingers.
- Voldemort's jinx on the Defence Against the Dark Arts position is broken with his death. There is now a permanent Defence Against the Dark Arts teacher. Harry comes to the Defence Against the Dark Arts class to lecture a few times out of the year.
- A portrait of Snape, who briefly served as Hogwarts Headmaster, does not appear in the headmaster's office as he abandoned his post. Harry ensures the addition of Snape's portrait, and publicly reveals Snape's steadfastness.
- The Weasley children's ages have been clarified! Bill is the oldest, who is two years older than Charlie, who is three years older than Percy, who is two years older than the twins, who is two years older than the twins, who are two years older than Ron, who is one year older than Ginny
- That person in the epilogue who talks to loudly about broom regulations - That was Percy!

I'm not sure if this question is in the right category but what exactly did Dudley see when he saw the Dementors? I haven't quite figured that out and I've read that part over and over. If someone can email me [at] MOD EDIT with the answer I would be so happy. Just title it (answer to the Dudley question or something like that so i know what to look [for]. Thank you to whomever does this

Another thing that JKR dosen't answer is that how did Ron and Hermione get out of the Chambers of Serets after they got the Basalisk fang cause in the second HP they got out by flying with Fawks. But as we know Fawks left Hogwarts as Dubledore died.

"Scorpius Malfoy is an 'improvement' of his father." ---quoted from LunaLover's post. (italics mine)
For some reason it bothers me that Rowling would say such a thing because I feel that Draco redeemed himself in the final book. On the other hand, I suppose I could look at it from the point of view that Draco taught Scorpius to be a better person than he was while at Hogwarts. Let's face it, he was an arrogant, spoiled child who thought himself to be above others, even other pure bloods. He saw the error of his ways. i.e. he finally grew up!
IMO, Draco married a woman who loved him for the person that he became. I guess this is why Rowling didn't marry him off to Pansy, being that she was too much in personality like the old Draco. (at least I got the impression that Draco didn't marry Pansy) And, I don't think Rowling has ever mentioned Draco's wife by name.
Now, since Rowling said that Scorpius is an "improvement" of his father, then what personality does Scorpius display? Will he befriend Ron and Harry's kids while at Hogwarts? Will he not be sorted into Slytherin House, most likely to the new and improved Draco's relief?
This was a very interesting statement for Rowling to say. Opens up several questions. But, quite frankly, I didn't appreciate her saying this. I really believe that the adult Draco is nothing like the spoiled brat of the first 6 HP books. I think he (and his parents too!) was humbled in the end, and I do believe he got redemption in the end.
