Remus's "big part" in book seven...

[author_by_night]

Seems to be a rumor. Is it?

Because I know I've heard it, yet have not seen it in any of the transcripts, and the Lexicon doesn't mention it in their "about book seven" list.

What big part? Remus dying?

[author-by-night.livejournal.com]

Dunno, according to what I've heard, he just has one.

Yeah, a lot of Remus fans I know repeat that as canon, but I've never heard it anywhere but from them, it's not transcripted, and basically, I think it's a bit of wishful thinking. (Course, don't tell them that, some of 'em get really snippy. As if I don't want a big part for Remus too! Ah well.)

[author-by-night.livejournal.com]

Yeah. I think Remus WILL come into play more, but I hope we see him in book six too!

er... no! not remus but Snape. Snape has a big part in book 7, JKR has said that we will learn more about him.

[author-by-night.livejournal.com]

*Shrugs* I haven't seen that either, but I've heard it.

The only thing I've seen is that we find out more about Lily in book 5 and 7.

I think the thing about Lily also turned out to be false info... Some librarian wrote a summary of HBP and said something major would be revealed about Lily, or something like that. But it wasn't true.

I'm pretty sure its just a rumor. I dont think JKR has said it on her website or in an interview.

[a-t-rain.livejournal.com]

I've searched for this interview quote before, and I've come to the conclusion that it has all the hallmarks of an urban legend. Everybody is sure they've heard it somewhere, but nobody can trace a source. I think it's probably a conflation of two separate facts JKR gave us in older interviews: 1) we'd see Lupin again in Book Five but not in Book Four, and 2) we'd find out something about Lily in Book Five, and something tremendously important about her in Book Seven.

I suppose there's a slight possibility that she said it before the books took off like wildfire and people started recording and memorizing her every word, but it would have to have been after the release of PoA, which leaves a very narrow window of time.

Yeah, it's probably along the same lines of "Harry gets expelled in book six" (well, he NEARLY did in book five), "Dumbledore dies in book four/five/six")... etc.

By the way, a friend of a friend of a friend of a friend whose uncle works at Bloomsbury told me Snape gets married to Sinistra!

I knew it!!

[tiny-wings.livejournal.com]

That's funny, I said I shipped Snape/Sinistra on a forum just as a joke, but people took me ever so seriously... Is there actually a fandom for this ship? lol

[author-by-night.livejournal.com]

Actually, yeah, it's quite popular. ^^

[sixth-light.livejournal.com]

This is Harry Potter. There are shippers for everything.

[luahoana.livejournal.com]

*lol*
So true.
I wouldn't be surprised if there was a Crookshanks/Whomping Willow fic out there ;)

[author-by-night.livejournal.com]

Ew! ;)

[luahoana.livejournal.com]

*giggles*

[sixth-light.livejournal.com]

You do realise the fact that you have said this ensures that such a fic will spring into existence somewhere.

[luahoana.livejournal.com]

*stifles giggles to appear serious*

I am prepared to be held fully responsible.

Add Trevor the Toad and you might have created someone's new OT3...

re: your icon - ONLY ONE MORE WEEK!!! *wibbles*

[author-by-night.livejournal.com]

Good point.

[kasuchi]

And it's mostly precipitated by She's a Star 's works. Which are great. *hearts Lamentations*

And have you ever read For the Weary? Ohmigawd, it's amazing.
