jkr world book day chat transcript!

[enkeli]

if you want the full transcript, here it is.

Cookie246122: Why did you kill Sirius? It made me very sad :(
JK Rowling replies -> I'm really, really sorry. I didn't want to do it, but there was a reason. If you think you can forgive me, keep reading, you'll find out. [I feel really guilty now].

enkeli: there'd better be. *weeps*

Kyla: What made Sirius decide to send Snape to the Willow?
JK Rowling replies -> Because Sirius loathed Snape (and the feeling was entirely mutual). You'll find out more about this in due course.

enkeli: *pokes notlefthanded* there will be MORE!

Chibimono: Do you have any future plans in particular for Draco Malfoy?
JK Rowling replies -> I've got plans for all my characters. Actually, this is a really good place to answer a question about Draco and Hermione, which a certain Ms. Radcliffe is desperate to have answered. Will they end up together in book six/seven? NO! The trouble is, of course, that girls fancy Tom Felton, but Draco is NOT Tom Felton! (My daughter likes TF very much too, because he taught her how to use a diablo

kelly_holland: When you turn into an Animagus, can you choose what animal you become? Or does this get "assigned" to you?
JK Rowling replies -> No, you can't choose. You become the animal that suits you best. Imagine the humiliation when you finally transform after years of study and find that you most closely resemble a warthog.

HPFreak7: How did Harry get the Marauder's Map back, when Crouch Jr. had it last?
JK Rowling replies -> Loads of people have asked me this, I knew I should have shown Harry nipping into Moody's empty office and getting it back, but I assumed you'd all know that's what he did. Sorry!

enkeli: ah ha.

Sirius Riddle: What houses were Sirius Black, Remus Lupin, James Potter and Remus Lupin in? Everyone tells me they were all Gryffindor, but I won't believe it unless I hear it from Ms. Rowling herself!
JK Rowling says: This is JK herself saying that they were indeed in Gryffindor!

enkeli: theory shot, but yay! also, why did the question-asker not include peter? hmm.

Rita: What about Wormtail? Is there hope for redemption?
JK Rowling replies -> There's always hope, of course. You'll find out more about our rat-like friend in book six.

enkeli: *pokes webba*

Rita: Whatever happend to Sirius' flying motorbike?
JK Rowling replies -> Ah, good question. You'll find out, but the real sleuths among you might be able to guess.

kylie: What does the "J" in Remus J Lupin stand for?
JK Rowling replies -> 'John'. Boring but true!

SiriuslyLovinSirius: If we ever see Sirius again, what form will he be in?
JK Rowling replies -> I couldn't possibly answer that for fear of incriminating myself.

enkeli: *weeps in ball on floor*

Pah!
Potter!

(I see all the "good" guys end up in the same house. I wonder what that means for the Ravenclaws amoung us. Are we total non entities?)

Well, she never said what house Lily was in. ;) I refuse to believe that we Ravenclaw types have to be represented by the likes of Cho Chang. And I think Luna only slightly better.

too true, too true. that would be cool if lily was a ravenclaw. and, really, I think it's the only way that james would have survived to seventh year. *g*

[enkeli.livejournal.com]

*giggle* I do so enjoy your "bah potter!" sentiment. keeps me honest, it does. :)

no idea about ravenclaws, except luna is an interesting chippy, no? jkr really needs to get her whole house unity thing on the table... dammit, now I want book six!

Of course he's dead! He has to be, or it'd just be lame and pointless. I'm sorry, though.

Well, sorry for you. Sirius was never one of my fave characters, unlike the guy in my icon.

not just sitting on the River, but bought property, too.

so much of the snape love... I did not realise! :)

personally not in love with snape, but certainly think he gets a bit of a bad rap. it always bothers me that harry always assumes snape is behind all the dastardly deeds, when snape's done nothing but try to keep harry from getting killed.

and am not disputing his death, just in COMPLETE DENIAL about it. p806? what? *g* it's pretty here in denial land. :)

Consider me poked. *ponders way to bring Snape to life, for more poking*

I am twelve. Also, I squeed like the worst fangirl evah when I read that Q&A. I need more info on The Prank.

Re: Pettigrew - notice the person wrote Lupin's name twice. I think they're just RL-obsessed, like somebody else I know. Don't you dare start a "Wormtail was a Slytherin" theory. *scowls, Snape-like*

Whatever will we discuss during our post-fencing Starbucks chat? I expect you to have printed out the entire transcript, covered it in highlighting and cross-referenced each statement to the text. As a matter of fact, I'm shocked if you haven't already.

BTW? Just saw your icon. *hugs you*

[enkeli.livejournal.com]

yes, but I like it when you're twelve. :)

MORE INFO ON PRANK YESKTHX. *pets her puppies*

I think they're just RL-obsessed, like somebody else I know.

I don't know anyone like this.

Don't you dare start a "Wormtail was a Slytherin" theory.

you know, now that you mention it... I've never really bought him as a gryffindor. although, I suppose it takes quite a bit of bravery to sell your friend and his family out to the dark lord... (if webba ever reads this, she may kill me.)

BTW? Just saw your icon.

denial, it's what's for breakfast. *g*
