Harry Potter Fan Zone обратился к JKR с открытым письмом, дабы попросить ее прояснить некоторые непонятности, возникшие после 6-й книги. Вот какие вопросы они задали:
Are Alecto and Amycus (the two sibling Death Eaters) the Carrows mentioned by Snape in Spinner's End?
What houses were Tonks and Myrtle in?
Was Bob Ogden a relative of Tiberius Ogden, of the Wizengamot?
читать дальшеIs Marcus Belby (the Ravenclaw boy in the Slug Club) at all related to Flavius Belby, the famous Wizard mentioned in Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them?
What is Draco Malfoy's Patronus?
We learnt in book six that Merope Gaunt staggered into the Stockwell Orphanage on New Year's Eve and gave birth to Tom within the hour; however, it's unclear as to whether or not Tom's birth occurred before midnight. Was Voldemort born on December 31, or January 1?
What are the properties of Draco's wand? Can we assume that its wood is Hawthorn, as per following the Celtic chart posted on your website, or is this only applicable in the case of the trio?
Are Zacharias and Hepzibah Smith in any way related?
In book six, Sirius' death is referred to as "murder"; does this mean that the Veil is some sort of execution chamber?
How did the Hogwarts ghosts come to represent the houses they belong to? We know that they were in their respective houses, but were they "assigned" to the task, as such?
On your website, you mentioned that Veritaserum is in no way foolproof, and that a dedicated Witch or Wizard could find a method to evade its purpose. In a similar fashion, are there ways to mask the detection of Felix Felicis, for example in a sporting event or examination?
You generously donated a copy of the Black family tree for the benefit of Book Aid International, and it revealed that a Charlus Potter married a Dorea Black (it also states that they had one son). Recently, the fandom has been busy speculating as to whether or not Charlus and Dorea are directly related to James, and moreover, Harry (particularly because the dates fit so well). Are we on the right trail of thought here, or has the fandom pulled another Mark Evans?
At what point in Hogwarts' history was the Quidditch Cup introduced?
Is Spinner's End Snape's permanent residence? We know he probably lives there during the summer (as of book six, certainly), but is this where he grew up? If not, who occupied the house before Snape?
Are there any classes offered at Hogwarts that we have not been or are yet to be introduced to? (Particularly with Hermione receiving 11 OWLs and only - that we know of - taking 10 classes.)
Was anyone else present the night that James and – oh, we know – CONSTANT VIGILANCE!
Посмотрим, ответит ли Джо хотя бы на часть из них...
Надеюсь Джей Кей ответит.
