I get most of my info on HP from my source en.wikipedia.org
I have no idea whether this has already been posted before or if you guys already know these pieces of info. If you do, then kindly ignore.
Here it is:
Information from JK Rowling
JKR wrote the last chapter of the book some time ago, to give her an ending to work up to. The last word of the seventh book, according to Rowling, is currently "scar", but she has also said it may change, along with the entire last chapter she has previously written. This last chapter contains details of what happens to each surviving character.
- "This is the thing that I was very dubious about showing you... (T)his is the final chapter of book seven. This is really where I wrap everything up, it's the epilogue. And I basically say what happens to everyone after they leave school - those who survive - because there are deaths - more deaths coming. It was a way of saying to myself, "Well you will get it, you will get to book seven one day. And then you'll need this!" So I'd just like to remind all the children I know who come around my house and start sneaking into cupboards that it's not there anymore - I don't keep it at home anymore for very, very, very obvious reasons. So there it is." J. K. Rowling
JKR has stated that she has had enough of writing about Quidditch, and there will be no matches in the book.
Most readers have found it inconceivable that Voldemort will win the final battle. However, more controversy exists about the fate of Harry Potter, including comment by JK Rowling implying that he might not survive.
We will learn something very important about Lily in book seven: "Now, the - the important thing about Harry's mother - the really, really significant thing - you're going to find out in two - in two parts. You'll find out a lot more about her in book five, or you'll find out something very significant about her in book five, and you'll find out something incredibly important about her in book seven." J. K. Rowling.
JKR has long said that Harry's eyes resembling his mother's is important. (Boston Globe 1999)
Severus Snape has been an important and enigmatic character throughout the books, with it never being quite clear which side of the war he is on. It is to be anticipated that as a surviving major character his loyalty will be settled in the final confrontation of the book. JKR has said (The connection 1999)
Questioner: There's an important kind of redemptive pattern to Snape. JKR: He, um, there's so much I wish I could say to you, and I can't because it would ruin. I promise you, whoever asked that question, can I just say to you that I'm slightly stunned that you've said that and you'll find out why I'm so stunned if you read Book 7. That's all I'm going to say.
She has stated we will learn more about Peter Pettigrew and Dumbledore.
She refused to comment when asked whether the locked door in the Department of Mysteries in the Ministry of Magic would feature in the final book.
At the Edinburgh book festival [3], JKR mentioned that something more would be revealed about Petunia Dursley. Nothing of note occured in book 6, so this remains to be discovered.
- "..there is a little bit more to Aunt Petunia than meets the eye...She is not a squib, although that is a very good guess. Oh, I am giving a lot away here. I am being shockingly indiscreet".
- Whether related or not, JKR has also said that some non-magical character will perform magic late in life in desperate circumstances. (Barnes and Noble chat). However she has also said that Aunt Petunia will not perform magic.
Also at Edinburgh, Rita Skeeter was mentioned: "She is loathsome...but I can't help admiring her toughness.. There is more to come on Rita"
And on Dolores Umbridge, "It's too much fun to torture her not to have another little bit more before I finish" (mugglenet/Leaky Cauldron interview)
Viktor Krum is set for a reappearance. (World Book Day 2004)
The two-way mirror given to Harry by Sirius, and his flying motorbike will return. (world book day). JKR refused to comment whether Sirius Black himself might in some way reappear, but said there was a reason why he had to die.
Dumbledore was seen to have a 'gleam of triumph' in his eyes when told that Voldemort had restored his body using Harry's blood, at the end of Goblet of Fire (ch. 36,Parting of the ways). JKR has confirmed that this is "still enormously significant".(TLC/Mugglenet interview 2005)
Someone from Harry's class will become a Hogwart's teacher.
JK Rowling has been consulted on the film versions of the books, so as to ensure that important aspects of the story do not get omitted or changed. After completion of Goblet of Fire she was interviewed and commented that she was startled by clues which had crept into the film, relating to the final outcome of the series. In particular, she referred to the scene where Remus Lupin talks to Harry about his mother, but she may have meant other scenes as well.
On her website, in the Rumours Sections, there is the question, Book Seven will be called "Harry Potter And The Pyramids of Furmat", this is answered by J. K. Rowling with: The Pyramids Of Furmat lie a few miles east of the famous Fortress Of Shadows, not far from the magnificent Pillar Of Storg. Many tourists prefer to view these ancient monuments at night, when they are illuminated by the Green Flame Torch. All of these 'landmarks' are really former rumored names for the various Harry Potter books, so it is unlikely they will be mentioned in Book Seven, unless put in as some sort of gag.
Beyond Book 7
- There is no university after Hogwarts and no further Harry Potter books.
- Q: Do you think that you will write about Harry after he graduates from Hogwarts? Isn't there a University of Wizardry?
- A: (T)here's no University for Wizards. At the moment I'm only planning to write seven Harry Potter books. I won't say "never," but I have no plans to write an eighth book.
- Rowling has suggested that she might write another about Harry Potter in the form of an encyclopedia of the wizarding world. Obviously, fans are eager to get their hands on a book of this kind, which will give them access to the world outside of the novels.
- When asked about other books similar to Quidditch Through the Ages and Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them, Rowling has said that she would consider writing them at some point and that they would also be written for charity.
It says someone from Harry's class will become a Hogwarts teacher.......hmmm, that could be our dear Hermione.....I am sure!
