JKR Interview at mugglenet(SPOILERS)

http://www.mugglenet.com/jkrinterview.shtml

theres 3 parts, and its very intersting. JK is asked about R.A.B, and the people say they think its Regulas, but she kinda hints that its not him.
ANd she said that book 7 might be shorter than OOTP. I hope not.

someone asked if we were going back to the locked room. JK said "no comment."

SHe also didnt know that there was proof that Dumbledore died, she thought that someone just guessed right.

I think this part is very intersting....

"MA: Does the gleam of triumph still have yet to make an appearance?

JKR: That's still enormously significant. And let's face it, I haven’t told you that much is enormously significant, so you can let your imaginations run free there.

ES: I think everybody realized it was significant when they read it but we didn’t see it materialize in 5 or 6.

JKR: Well, it still is.

this part too

"MA: Here at the end you sort of get the feeling that we know what Harry’s setting out to do, but can this really be the entire throughline of the rest of the story?

JKR: It's not all of it. Obviously it's not all of it, but still, that is the way to kill Voldemort. That's not to say it won't be extremely an torturous and winding journey, but that's what he's got to do. Harry now knows — well he believe he knows – what he’s facing. Dumbledore's guesses are never very far wide of the mark. I don't want to give too much away here, but Dumbledore says, ‘There are four out there, you've got to get rid of four, and then you go for Voldemort.’ So that's where he is, and that's what he's got to do.

ES: It's a tall order.

JKR: It's a huge order. But Dumbledore has given him some pretty valuable clues and Harry, also, in the course of previous six books has amassed more knowledge than he realizes. That's all I am going to say."

this.. i think is the most interesting part....

"ES: It seems like it would be impossible. If Harry had gone to the cave, he never could have done it on his own, it seems like.

JKR: Well, I'm prepared to bet you now, that at least before the week is out, at least one of the Horcruxes will have been correctly identified by careful re-readers of the books. "

So what do you guys think?

I have this nagging feeling that the opal necklace from B&B is a Horcrux. It's probably not, but it's just a hunch I have 😬

Naw, he wouldn't put something like that in a shop.

Told ya I was wrong 😛

I think it was Sirius's bro who took the locket... They mention a locet in the 5th book that no one could open so I think that's it... As far as other hocruxes go... They could be anything... I really wouldn't know where to start...

speaking of Horcruxes, here is an interesting theory that might mean DUmbledore has a Horcrux....

Dumbledore said that only a person with a full soul could kill Voldemort. ANd if Dumbledore had a full soul, he would have killed Voldemort before Harry was even born. So maybe he did kill somebody, splitting his sould. Maybe he has a horcrux in Fawkes. Which is a great choice becuase Fawkes can never die. And this would explain the gleam of triumph that he had when Harry told him about the potion/enchantment that Voldemort used to get his body back. And JK said that the gleam of triumph is still VERY important in the mugglenet interview.

the only thing though, who could Dumbledore have killed?

that is an awesome theory! maybe he made a horcrux when he destoyed grindewald.I think JK rowling said something about him destroying gridewald being somewhat important to the plot in the mugglenet/leakycaulron interview

that makes a lot of sense, i buy that. I mean it did say he defeated the dark lore grindewald on the chocolate frog card, so that could mean that he killed him. so in the interview was jk saying the the fall of grindewald was kinda in line with the fall of Nazi Germany and hitler in 1945? cuzi was wondering about that for awhile

yeah i think so

Atleast they CLEARLY say, Snape is evil, period.

I think theres an eerie coincidence between hitler and Voldemort, you see Hitler killed Jews and he was half Jew himself.

But why would Dumbledore want 2 have a horcrux?Slughorn said it was very powerful dark magic.

Hitler being a quarter jewish through his paternal grandmother Maria Schicklgruber is just a rumour. But Im no historian so dont take my word for it.

Back to the topic: I really dont think Dumbledore would make a Horcrux, after all he told Harry death is only the next great adventure. I took that to mean he does not fear death.

oh well just my opinion, cheers.

Alright, so she clearly says that Snape is evil.

The R.A.B. part, though, I think, can't go either way. She could be saying, "That's an, umm, good guess." as in, it really is a good guess, or the complete opposite, saying, "Try again, you friggin losers."

😄

Guess we'll just have to wait to find out...

She doesnt really say that Snape is evil or not. But i still think hes evil anyway.

I think all the evidence is there that Snape is evil. In the beginning of book 6, he makes the unbreakable vow with Narcissa to protect Draco, and in the end he actually fufills it. So if he was good, wouldn't he rather die than kill Dumbledore?

probably DD didn't want him to die..

Oh cmon, I can't believe some of you actually think Snape is evil! First of all, there is all of the overwhelming evidence that he isn't evil, coupled witht he fact that JKR, after setting him up over 6 books to become a matryred hero, would not suddenly decide to make him a two dimensional evil character! Get a grip people!

Ok, first of all, we have no idea if Snape is evil or not. My guess is as good as yours. And we wont find out until the book comes out. This is evidence that he is evil, and there is evidence that he is good. You get a grip. Your acting like you know for sure that Snape is good. And you dont, only JK does. And i will keep thinking that Snape is evil until i read it in the 7th book that he isnt evil. Or if JK says so herself on her sight or something. We do not have enough proof that he is evil, or that he is good. Its a 50/50 sitution.
