Wild about Harry

Exclusive: What Potter author left out J.K. Rowling gives details on what happens after book’s final epilogue

Spoiler alert: This story reveals some key plot points in the final Harry Potter book. So if you've haven't finished the book, J.K. Rowling asks that you not read this story.

The author was shooting for “nebulous,” something “poetic.” She wanted the readers to feel as if they were looking at Platform 9¾ through the mist, unable to make out exactly who was there and who was not.

“I do, of course, have that information for you, should you require it,” she told TODAY’s Meredith Vieira rather coyly in her first interview since fans got their hands on the final book.

It turns out that he was shot and killed by Rollo Tomasi during a purse snatching. Very sad.

Harry sleeps with the fishes.

 

 

...but that's really more of a personality quirk than anything else.

According to Wiccans and Wizards, what is discussed in these books accurately portray Wiccan spells and rituals.

A complete and utter lie. There is not ONE thing in the Potter books which reflects real Wiccan practices. Not one.

And I should know.
