The Perfect Man The making of

The Perfect Man

The making of a horcrux is a dangerous and evil thing, one of two things Jo considers might be too horrible to explain the other is how Wormtail fashioned the child-like body for Voldemort. John Dawlish was originally powerful, but was weakened by Dumbledores and subsequent attacks on him. However Augusta Longbottom is still a formidable opponent. Being gay in the wizarding world is less of an issue to those who care about such things than blood status. Dumbledore, the great defender of the power of love, was made a fool by it. Grindelwald was almost his dark twin, Dumbledore wanted to believe he was good, and he appeared to offer a solution of the problem of caring for his family. Harry isnt really a horcrux, which needs to be made intentionally. He wasnt an evil object with curses on him, and wasnt contaminated by it except on occasions in OotP when it fed off the dark time Harry was going through. The scar is the wound through which the soul piece found its way into Harry. The two-headed smoke snake was Dumbledore detecting that Voldemorts soul had split like this. Harry had to die to get rid of the soul piece in him, being poisoned by the basilisk but cured wasnt enough. Neville is the-boy-it-could-have-been. Harry has an edge more talent, particularly an instinct of the right thing to do which makes him such a good auror, but Neville proves by the end of the books that he could also have done it had Voldemort chosen him. Bellatrix went after the Longbottoms because they were efficient and successful at their jobs as aurors. James and Lily were asked out of school to join Voldemort but rejected him. Dumbledore knew what happened at Godrics hollow because of an alarm spell on the house, but Jo couldnt remember if there was an explanation for the 24 hours until Harry arrived at Privet Drive. The Encyclopedia or Scottish Book is currently planned to be half facts and backstory within Harrys world, and half discarded plots and commentary on planning and what went in or not. Jo only wants to write it if it is amazing, she doesnt what to have to rush it out. Jo thinks of Hannah Abbot as pure blood though she might be muggle born in Jos notes. She is landlady at The Leaky Cauldron. Jo was under pressure to do a fan club, but created her website as a better solution. There will be no more WOMBATs. She was told for legal reasons that it would be a bad idea to release snippets of information about DH, and saw the WOMBATs as a way of giving the fans something, though WOMBAT 3 had a lot of hints concealed within it. Jo might put up the answers. Harry and Ron didnt go back to school and were aurors, but Hermione did another year at Hogwarts to get her NEWTs. Kingsley wanted anyone in the Battle of Hogwarts on the right side, who was old enough, to help clean up the Ministry including Ron, Neville and Harry. Hermione went with Harry and Ron through DH because ultimately her heart was bigger than her brain, but isnt naturally drawn to battle. Jo was sad that she wasnt going to write a Hogwarts graduation scene. Today the Leaky Cauldron announced that Rowling would be the featured guest on next Tuesdays PotterCast. Leaky staffers Melissa Anelli, Sue Upton and John Noe were on hand for the first extensive fan interview since 200 Melissa promises new canon and lots of fun, so stay tuned.
