Information about release dates would also be good.

There is even a little note (or part of ) on the extra stuff page of JKR’’s website which says ‘Try and finish book 7 by..(blocked by cards)”. I don’t think this is Jo teasing us. It is a filler untill such time she is ready to reveal what is under the cards, and she wouldn’t have it up at all unless she was reasonably confident that whatever deadline she has set for herself was realistic. She would be pretty superstitious about putting up somthing like this so early unless her deadline was fairly soon too (say a year). If book 7 is indeed to be released in summer 2007, then Jo really has to have the manuscript compleated (minus proofing and final edits) by the end of 2006, and she did say that 2006 was the year she was going to write book 7.
I really enjoyed looking at your site, I found it very helpful indeed, keep up the good work.

One potion, perhaps the most important potion is not quite right in the Lexicon. The “Draught of Living Death” is described as “The ideal halfway stage should be of a blackcurrant colour (deep purple), although at a later stage if stirred properly the potion will turn a light shade of lilac” in your lexicon. If you read further you find that it should actually be clear. In the Half-Blood Prince p.190, Rowling writes: “Harry now squinted at the next line of instructions. According to the book, he had to stir counterclockwise until the potion turned clear as water.” Harry only succeeds in making his potion turn “palest pink.” However, when done perfectly, it should be clear. This may be very important because it may be what is in the in the basin in Chapter 26, described as “emerald liquid emitting that phosphorescent glow.” (p.567) in the basin in Chapter 26. As Dumbledore trys some magic over it with his wand on p.568, “Nothing happened, except perhaps that the potion glowed a little brighter.” This implies that the liquid may not be green, but a spell has been placed on it that makes it glow.

To complete the above thought (ran out of allowed space)… Rowling writes on p.569 that Dumbledore says: “this potion must act in a way that will prevent me taking the Horcrux. It might paralyze me, cause me to forget what I am here for, create so much pain I am distracted, or render me incapable in some other way.” We know what happens to him after drinking it.

Wow I love Your Site It gives You Lots Of Info!! i really like how they give you like whos in slythrin who plays quittich and who are authors and stuff! its soo cool!
Chloe does have a point. You know, the Lexicon has gone so long without any comments that were new on it! I was so surprised to see all of the new stuff on it. We do have a lot of information though, don’t we. It is accually rather confusing, because there was a comment up a month or two ago and it was something to do with Harry and Voldemorts wands. Well here’s what I think. Harry and Voldemort both have the same wand core. And also when Harry got his scar, Dumbledore did say that Voldemort might have given some of his powers to Harry, thus making them kind of like family and kind of alike in a way. I think that if Harry kills Voldemort, or even if someone completly different kills Voldemort, Harry will end up dead either way.

I like Grace’s ‘family’ concept of Voldemort. It’s a cool way of seeming a weakness in Old Voldy. Perhaps, like Harry, finding out he does have ‘family’ still will make him falter… just enough…
Dunbledore could not tell that Snape was bad simply because Dumbledore had gained Snape’s trust over the years that he was around. Remember he still served Voldemort which ment he would obey whatever Voldemort told him to do. In this case, I was gaining Dumbledores trust.

No offense or anything but what has that got to do with anything, I mean you could just ask the author herself so…Or there is the possibility that you can get a roumor started about it and Rowling will probably respond to them.

I just saw what might proove my guess about Harry and Voldemort. How many of you remember the last part of the prophesy? It says, neither can live while the other survives. It is talking about two people at least. Who are the first two characters that come to mind?
Harry and Voldemort.

Steve: I love your site, and I count on it to be authoritative. That said, I was hoping you could clarify something I can’t find anywhere else. Has it ever been confirmed that Snape is the one who told Voldemort about the prophecy? I believe you mention that Dumbledore and Trelawney’s accounts of that night conflict. (How can Trelawney remember Snape being there if he was thrown out halfway through the prophecy, etc…) If I remember correctly, after his conversation with Trelawney, Harry jumps to the conclusion that Snape was the one who told Voldemort the prophecy, but Dumbledore never confirms that. I’d love an essay on your thoughts about what this means, too… Keep up the wonderful work.
Maggie is right you know, Snape might still be on our side. There were tons of Death Eaters there the night they discovered the prophecy. Any one of them could have told!! But then again, this was the fifth book that we are talking about. We KNOW what happens in the sixth, so Snape could have very well told. But, Dumbledore might not have wanted to tell Harry, because he knew what was going to happen, and maybe he wanted for Harry to be safe. I think that if Dumbledore had stayed alive, something would have happened that would have gone very wrong. I don’t know what, but there was a reason that Dumbledore died that night.This might have been a plan between Snape and Dumbledore too. Dumbledore may still be alive. That coffin was pretty much like a portkey, it had all the signs of one. What if Dumbledore did this to get Voldemort’s mind off of him so that he might be able to save Harry in the next book, which at Grace’s point he might die if Voldemort gets killed anyway. So, Harry may not be safe for real…unless he is dead.
You have all forgotten about the fourth book and movie. Mad Eye Moody, or Barty Crouch’s son (WHATEVER!!) says that when one is a death eater, that individual never stops being a Deathe Eater once they already are one.

Neal, there is no difference between sourcers stone and philosiphors stone. They mean the same thing. I am a North American and was part of changing it. We don’t speak the exact way that you do and that is a 3rd grade level book. We wanted to change it to something modern day kids could understand.
