Ik had geen enkel ander commentaar verwacht van een Harry Potter Fanboy. Maar ik vind nu toch dat je zeer onrealistisch bent. Verder zal ik het laten liggen. Maar stel jezelf eens de vraag. Als JK zo diep had nagedacht over alles zoals jij zegt. Waarom slaat het laatste hfst. van boek 7 dan gewoon de spijker op de kop? Of waarom maakt ze gewoon niet meer boeken?

En daarbij wil ik nog zeggen als jij niet denkt dat schrijvers bij interview antwoorden verzinnen op een vraag om de lezer gerust te stellen dan moet je toch even terug naar de werkelijke wereld. Want juist doordat ze de schrijver is kan ze antwoord op alles geven want de schrijver spreekt altijd de waarheid over het boek aangezien ze het zelf verzonnen heeft.

Ik ben een Harry Potter FanGIRL.. En nee ik ben niet onrealistisch. Als je aan geeft dat ik een fangirl ben dan houd het dus in dat jij het niet bent. Zo komt het in ieder geval over. Als je het namelijk was geweest dan had je kunnen weten dat JKR sinds 1990 al weet hoe het hele verhaal gaat lopen vanaf het begin tot aan het eind. Zij heeft alles gepland. Zij heeft schriften/mappen/boeken volgeschreven met (achtergrond) informatie. Ik denk echt niet dat ze dit dan zomaar ter plekke verzint. Waarom zou ze zoiets gaan doen? Zoals ik al zei als ze het over een paar jaar zou doen. Dan was het "nep" geweest. Nu zit HP nog fris in onze gedachten. Dus waarom zou ze dit moeten doen voor de mythe. In het interview zegt ze duidelijk dat ze hem "altijd gezien heeft als homo". Waarom is dit niet eerder vertelt? Waarom wel.. Ik bedoel wat is het hele probleem? Het is gewoon een leuk weetje. Het boek draait niet om Dumbledore maar om Harry. Het gaat er niet om hoe zijn prive leven is. Misschien had ze het wel even kunnen vertellen, maar omdat ze het niet verteld heeft in het boek hoeft niet te betekenen dat ze het zomaar bedacht heeft. Er zijn zoveel dingen die niet vertelt zijn in de boeken. En ik geloof echt niet dat ze die dingen nu allemaal gaat bedenken om de "mythe meer compleet te maken".

Girl boy boeiend. En ja ik weet dat ze het toen heeft verzonnen. Verder ga ik niet meer op in omdat ik geen zin heb om fanboys(girls) te overtuigen van hun ongelijk omdat de meeste hellaas hier gewoon zo into HP zijn, wat vaak ook nog eens is dat dat het enigste boek is dat ze gelezen hebben, dat jullie gewoon oogkleppen op hebben lijkt het vaak een geen kritiek of gewoon keiharde waarheid kunnen verdragen.

Verder vond ik deze quote nog wel een strak einde voor de discussie en wat ook mijn mening verwoord

Mensen willen het weten, dus zij geeft antwoord.

Dat betekent niet dat je daarmee het plot eer aandoet. Ik sprak ooit een Nederlandse kinderboekenschrijver die de HP-cyclus tot en met deel 3 goed vond, omdat ze daarna het gevoel gaf aan de vraag van de fans ging voldoen. Daar valt wel wat voor te zeggen en dan geldt dat ook voor het beantwoorden van vragen. Wat mij betreft heb ik het plot het liefst zoals ik het ken uit de boeken, zonder nutteloze toevoegingen uit interviews over de lievelingskleur sokken van Snape en de seksuele voorkeur van Dumbledore, alleen omdat de fans dat vragen. Daar heb ik mijn eigen fantasie voor.

ik ben zeer into HP maar dat is bij lange na niet het enige boek dat ik gelezen heb. daarnaast is dit alleen naar buiten gekomen omdat een fan het vroeg. Niet omdat ze meer publiciteit wilde. Want die heeft ze genoeg.

Daarnaast vind ik het prima dat jij de boeken wilt lezen zoals ze zijn zonder de extra informatie. Daar heb ik respect voor. Maar respecteer dan ook dat hier mensen op het forum zitten die al heel lang HP fan zijn, en gewoon weten dat rowling niet alles op het laatste verzint. Alles staat vast in aantekeningen.

Plus accepteer dat zij wel die extra informatie willen weten, en daarover willen discussieren. Als je dat allemaal niet wilt weten is dat oke. Dat accepteer ik. Maar ik vraag me dan wel af wat je in dit topic doet. Als je alles niet wilt weten. Maar goed, dat is ieders eigen keuze. en daar ga ik je zeker niet op aanvallen. Je moet je door mij ook niet aangevallen voelen.

Idd, nogal onverwacht. Het gooit wel mijn hele beeld van zijn personage door de war, zoals Nederlandse Hermelien ook al zei. Sowieso heb ik nu een heel ander beeld van Dumbie. Na HBP zag je hem als een held die alles deed om Harry te helpen, na DH als iemand die (hoewel goed bedoeld) Harry bestuurde als een marionet.

Dan raad ik je aan eens een kijkje te nemen in het Films, Muziek en Boeken-Board. Wink

Er bestaan gewoon schrijvers die zo raar zijn dat ze alles vastleggen in aantekeningen waar ze later niets meer mee doen. Kijk maar naar Tolkien.

**Witch_Eva**

Hoe kan jij beweren dat ik niet meerdere boeken gelezen heb als HP? Ik heb echt meerdere boeken gelezen. Daarbij heb ik geen oogkleppen op. Ik kijk gewoon naar de werkelijkheid. Jij kan misschien die mening hebben dat zij niet zo'n geweldige schrijfster is. Maar dat hoeft nog niet te zeggen dat ze niks voor die tijd bedacht heeft. Sowieso heeft ze dit niet bedacht voor dit interview, want ze vertelde ook al in het interview dat ze tijdens het lezen van script 6 er iets over gezegt heeft. Dus ze had dit sowieso al eerder gepland. Ook die regels van Rhona zijn hints. Daarbij is er ook nog nooit iets vertelt over het feit dat hij meisjes leuk vond. Ik vind het daarom wat belachelijk om JKR zo "belachelijk" te maken door te zeggen dat ze het doet om de roem en dat ze iemand is die ter plekke iets verzint.

En hoe kan ze de fans tevreden stellen? Zij is de persoon die juist in interviews heeft gezegt dat Dumbledore dood is terwijl er weet ik hoeveel websites toen waren die het tegendeel zeiden. Er zijn zoveel fans zij kan niet eens iedereen tevreden houden met haar antwoorden. En dat is ze ook zeker weten niet van plan. Zij heeft bijvoorbeeld bij het epiloog ook heel veel mensen niet tevreden gestelt.

Tja, ik wil eerst even zeggen dat dit een HP forum is, en (nog) geen fantasy forum, dus ja, je zit hier met allemaal HP fans

Ten tweede vind ik het goed dat JK het niet in het boek heeft gezet. Het is niet nodig voor het verhaal, het zijn alleen leuke feitjes om te weten voor de die hards, als ik ze zo mag noemen. Veel mensen knapper erop af als Dumbledore gay is.

Dat brengt me trouwens op mijn volgende punt. Denken jullie, dat nu JK het bekent heeft gemaakt, er een nog grotere anti-HP beweging komt, omdat degene die Harry vertrouwd, de andere held van het verhaal, homo is, wat tegen sommige mensen hun geloof ingaat..??
[/selecteer]

Rhona

weer een aantal nieuwtjes uit het interview. Ze hebben hem nu iets meer kompleet. Er kunnen nog meer nieuwtjes volgen. Voor de zekerheid in spoilers.

SPOILERS!

[selecteer]
How did you decide that Molly Weasley would be the one to finish off Bellatrix?

I always knew Molly was going to finish her off. I think there was some speculation that Neville would do it, because Neville obviously has a particular reason to hate Bellatrix. ..So there were lots of optios for Blelatrix, but I never deviated. I wanted it to be Molly, and I wanted it to be Molly for two reasons.

The first reason was I always saw Molly as a very good witch but someone whose light is necessarily hidden under a bushel, because she isn't in the kitchen a lot and she has had to raise, among others, and george which is like, enough... I wanted Molly to have her moment and to show that because a woman had dedicated herself to her family does not mean that she doesn't have a lot of other talents.

Second reason: It was the meeting of two kinds of - if you call what Bellatrix feels for Voldemort love, I guess we'll call it love, she has a kind of obsession with him, it's a very sick obsession ... and I wanted to match that kind of obsession with maternal love... the power that you give someone by loving them. So Molly was really an amazing exemplar of maternal love. ... There was something very satisfying about putting those two women together.

How different would the last two books be if Arthur had been killed in the middle of book five?

I think they would have been very different and it's part of the reason why I chose my mind. ... By turning Ron into half of Harry, in other words by turning Ron into someone who had suffered the loss of a parent, I was going to remove the Weasleys as a refuge for Harry and I was going to necessarily remove a lot of Ron's humor. That's part of the reason why I didn't kill Arthru. I wanted to keep Ron in tact ... a lot of Ron's humor comes from his insensitivity and his immaturity, to be honest about Ron. And Ron finally, I think, you see, grows up in this book. He's the last of the three to reach what I consider adulthood, and he does it then [ when he destroys the horcrux] and faces those things. So that's part of the reason. The only other reason I didn't kill Arthur was that I wanted to come full circle. We started with an orphan, someone who lost their parents because of the war. ANd so I wanted to show it again. ... Even though you don't see Teddy, I wanted to express in the epilogue, that he gets an even better godfather than Harry had, because Sirius had his faults, I think we must admit. He was a risky guy to have as a godfather. Because Teddy gets someone who really has been there, and Harry becomes a really great father figure for Teddy as well as his own children. I hasten to add that I didn't kill Lupin or Tonks lightly. I loved them as characters...so that hurt, killing them.

Q: In the Goblet of Fire Dumbledore said his brother was prosecuted for practicing inappropriate charms [JKR buries her head, to laughter] on a goat; what were the inappropriate charms he was practicing on that goat?

JKR: How old are you?

Eight.

JKR: I think that he was trying to make a goat that was easy to keep clean [laughter], curly horns. That's a joke that works on a couple of levels. I really like Aberforth and his goats. But you know Aberforth having this strange fondness for goats if you've read book seven, came in really useful to Harry, later on, because a goat, a stag, you know. If you're a stupid Death Eater, what's the difference. So, that is my answer to YOU.

Q: Since Ron is able to speak Parseltongue in the last book, does that mean that parseltongue is a language that most witches and wizards can learn or must a person be born with some ability to speak Parseltongue.

JKR: I don't see it really as a language you can learn. So few people speak it that who would teach you? This is a weird ability passed down through the Slytherin blood line. However ROn was with Harry when he said one word in Parseltongue, which I do not know so I cannot duplicate for you, but he heard him say "Open," and he was able to reproduce the sound. So it was one word. Whether he could learn to speak to snakes properly is a separate issue. I don't think he could. But he knew enough, he was smart enough, to duplicate one necessary sound.

Q: [Speaker thanks Jo for the Dumbledore answer.]

JKR: You needed something to keep you going for the next 10 years! Oh, my god, the fan fiction now, eh? [Applause.]

Q: What did Dumbledore write in the letter to make the Dursleys take Harry?

JKR: Very, very good question. As you know, as we find out in book seven, Petunia once really wanted to be part of that world. And you discover that Dumbledore has written to her prior to the Howler...Dumbledore wrote to her very kindly and explained why he couldn't let her come to Hogwarts to become a witch. So, Petunia, much as she denis it afterwards, much as she turns against that world when she met Uncle Vernon, who is the biggest anti-wizard you could ever met in your life, a tiny part of her, and that's the part that almost wished Harry luck when she said goodbye to him in this book, she just teetered on the verge of saying, I do know what you're up against and I hope it's OK. But she couldn't bring herself to say it. Years of pretending she doesn't care have hardened her. But Dumbledore appealed in the letter you're asking about, so that part of Petunia that did remember wanting desperately to be part of the world and he appealed to her sense of fair play to a sister that she had hated because Lily had what she couldn't have. So that's how she persuaded Petunia to keep Harry. Good question.

Q: When Harry was stabbed by a basilisk in the Chamber of Secrets, since he was a Horcrux shouldn't it have been destroyed then?

JKR: I have been asked that a lot. Harry was exceptionally fortunate in that he had Fawkes. So before he could be destroyed without repair, which is what is necessary to destroy a horcrux, he was mended. However, I made sure that Fawkes wasn't around the second time a Horcrux got stabbed by a basilisk fang, so the poison did its work and it was irreparable within a short period of time.... I established early in the book, Hermione says that you destroy a Horcrux by using something so powerful that there's no remedy. But she does say there is a remedy for basilisk poison but of course it has to be administered immediately and when they stab the cup later - boy I'm really blowing this for anyone who hasn't finished the book - there's Fawkes, is my answer. And thank you for giving me a chance to say that because people have argued that quite a lot.

Q: Why couldn't Harry speak to a portrait of Dumbledore throughout the last book?

Well there are two reasons, three reasons actually... Teh last bit, why did he have to decode? As Dumbledore says to Harry...to tell Harry about the Hallows was to tempt him. And Harry, throughout all seven books has been incredibly impetuous and reckless. That's one of Harry's biggest flaws. He does tend to act without thinking, and Dumbledore knows this about Harry. He wants him to work it out slowly enough to gain wisdom along the way. That's why he passed the information through Hermione, who is the most cautious person in the books, as you know. And Dumbledore says explicitly, so your good heat isn't overcome by your hot heads. Or I may have paraphrased myself slight there so forgive me. "She doesn't even know her own book!" [laughter] Yes so that's one reason. Harry needs to decode. He said, he does say in this book, he's frightened by his decision not to race for the wand, because he had never chosen not to act. So that's Harry's real big coming of age moment, that he's decided to hold back for the first time very in his life. So the other two reasons that i have for him not t speak to Dumbledore's portrait, first of all, I crated a lot of rules for this world and then later had to navigate my away around them. But this rule was always good, and the rule was that portraits could only move between portraits in the same building. so if I'm in a picture and you're in a picture and we're both in Carnegie Hall, then we can move into each other's pictures. Otherwise we can only move only to other places where we have a portrait. You can't just move willy nilly through all the - the Louvre, the Met - you can't do a world tour, as a picture person. You are limited by geography. So there was that reason. And then lastly of course, the third reason, is it really would be too easy and I wouldn't have had a plot.

Q: Many of us older readers have noticed over the years similarities between the Death Eaters tactics and the Nazis from the 30s and 40s. Did you use that historical era as a model for Voldemort's reign and what were the lessons that you hope to impart to the next generation?

It was conscious. I think that if you're, I think most of us if you were asked to name a very evil regime we would think Nazi Germany. There were parallels in the ideology. I wanted Harry to leave our world and find exactly the same problems in the wizarding world. So you have the intent to impose a hierarchy, you have bigotry, and this notion of purity, which is this great fallacy, but it crops up all over the world. People like to think themselves superior and that if they can pride themselves in nothing else they can pride themselves on perceived purity. So yeah that follows a parallel. It wasn't really exclusively that. I think you can see in the Ministry even before it's taken over, there are parallels to regimes we all know and love. [Laughter and applause.] So you ask what lessons, I suppose. The Potter books in general are a prolonged argument for tolerance, a prolonged plea for an end to bigotry, and I think ti's one of the reasons that some people don't like the books, but I think that's it's a very healthy message to pass on to younger people that you should question authority and you should not assume that the establishment or the press tells you all of the truth.

[Loud applause.]

Q: What did it feel like completing your first Harry Potter book versus completing the last.

JKR: What a great question. It felt strangely similar actually. Both feelings were more alike than with any of the other books. When I finished the first book, there was this incredible sense of achievement that i'd actually written a novel, i"d actually finished my book. And it was after seven years of writing and making notes and rewriting. And then when I finished the seventh book, that was 17 years. WIth the seventh book there was a huge feeling of loss as well. I couldn't believe I was done. And it took me weeks, as my poor, long-suffering husband will attest. He's here. [applause] Yes, you should clap him, he's very patient! [ovation] He's not the type to stand up and take about but trust me. Toward the end of a book i'm not that easy to live with. Yes Neil would bear witness to the fact that for weeks, really... it felt like a bereavement. I knew it was coming. I was prepared, I knew it would hurt, and it was huge. So, that's why I'm glad to be here and talk about it. Thank you.

Voice: Excuse me, Ms. Rowling?

JKR: Hello.

Voice: I have a question.

JKR: God? [laughter] And they say I don't believe in you! [Ovation.]

Voice: May I approach teh stage?

JKR: Sorry, I missed that, what was that? You may approach the stage, I always wondered what oyu looked like.

Announcer: Actually I don't have a question but I do have a little surprise. [Explains that they've picked some more questions from competition winners, randomly chosen to surprise sweepstakes winners.]

Q: Does Malfoy owe Harry a debt?

JKR: That's a great question and a lot of people wanted to know that. When Dumbledore said to Harry, Voldemort won't want a close associate who is in your debt, I wasn't implying by that there was any kind of magical bond there. It was more that Dumbldore's extensive wisdom and knowledge of human nature, he knew as Harry later thinks in book seven, he knew that Pettigrew would react a certain way to having saved his life. ... He's weak, fundamentally weak. Pettigrew is a very weak character. He's not someone I like at all. He's a weak person and he likes to gravitate to people who are stronger. Dumbledore is right. Pettigrew had an impulsive mercy... would Malfoy e in Harry's debt? I think the very worst burden Harry could have put Malfoy under was this one, that Malfoy has to feel any kind of gratitude. So I tried to show that slightly in the epilogue when they look slightly at each other and there's a, "Hi. It's so embarrassing, you saved my life. No one will ever let me forget it." I think, does he owe him a debt, probably not. I think Malfoy would go back to being an improved version of what he was but we shouldn't expect him to be a really great guy any time soon.

Bespreek Dumbledore's kleine geheim in DIT TOPIC.

Chris. · 31-12-08

De achtergrondinfo die Rowling nu heeft gegeven, gaat over wat voor en na het verhaal met de personages is gebeurt. Wat niet relevant is heeft ze dus ook niet in de boeken gezet. Dit heeft Tolkien ook niet gedaan. We weten eigenlijk ook heel weinig over Frodo nadat hij uit Midden-aarde is vertrokken. Misschien is hij ook wel gay, zou me niks verbazen. Maar dat even terzijde.

Je noemt zelf ook maar twee schrijvers , Wolkers en Tolkien. Dat is niet echt veel meer dan 1, Rowling. Daarnaast denk ik dat op dit forum 99% wel meer dan twee schrijvers in hun leven hebben gelezen.

Het is in het algemeen bekend dat Rowling niet alles weet wat over de personages allemaal gebeurt. Bijvoorbeeld over het beroep van Ron, heeft ze in twee interviews binnen een week twee verschillende dingen gezegd. Dat is op zich wel een beetje slecht, zeg dan dat je het of niet zeker weet, of geef dezelfde antwoorden. Tolkien is een ander verhaal, ik denk dat je van geen enkele schrijver mag verwachten dat hij/zij zoveel achtergrondinfo van het verhaal heeft. Ik denk dat Rowling echt wel goed heeft nagedacht over haar personages. Al zal ze nog lang niet alle informatie over de encyclopedie weten.

Over de info van Rowling:

SPOILERS!

Rudy says: Deze mening kan je vanaf nu in een ander topic kwijt.
Met Hannah-Neville heb ik niet zoveel, maar dat komt vooral omdat ik haar niet goed ken. Ze komt op me over als een beetje zeurderig type. Maar wel leuk dat Neville is getrouwd

[/selecteer]

weer wat informatie. Het meeste wisten we al, maar het is nu wat uitgebreider. Nog steeds uit de lezing in New York.

SPOILERS!

[selecteer]
Q: Harry often wondered about his parents lives before he died. What did Lily, James, Remus, Lupin and Sirius do after Hogwarts?

JKR: To take Remus first, Remus was unemployable. Poor Lupin, prior to Dumbledore taking him in, lead a really impoverished life because no one wanted to employ a werewolf. The other three were full-time members of the Order of the Phoenix. If you remember when Lily, James and co. were at school, the first war was raging. It never reached the heights that the second war reached, because the Ministry was never infiltrated to that extend but it was a very bad time, the same disappearances, the same deaths. So that's what they did, they left school. James has gold, enough to support Sirius and Lily. So I suppose they lived foff a private income. But they were full-time fighters, that's what they did, until Lily fell pregnant with Harry. So then they went into hiding.

Q: Did Hagrid ever get married and have children?

[Aww from crowd] JKR: Oh, did Hagrid ever get married and have children? No. [awwws again] I may change that immediately due to the look on your face. Yes! He had 22! - No, no, Hagrid never did marry and have children. I'm sorry. I'm really sorry. Oh I feel terrible now. I'll write another book! [Ovation] Realistically, Hagrid's pool of potential girlfriends is extremely limited. Because with the giants killing each other off, the number of giantesses around is infinitesimal and he met one of the only, and I'm afraid, she thought he was kind of cute, but she was a little more, how should I put it, sophisticated than Hagrid. So no, bless him. [Awws] I kept him alive, come on! [Applause.]

Q: Is Severus Snape's portrait in the headmaster's office?

JKR: Some have been asking why hasn't the portrait appeared immediately. It doesn't. The reason is that the perception in the castle itself and everyone who was in the castle, because Snape kept his secret so well was that he abandoned his post. So all the portraits you see in the headmaster's study are all headmasters and mistresses who died, it's like British royals. You only get good press if you die in office. Abdication is not acceptable, particularly if you marry and American. I'm kidding! [laughter] I digress. I know, because I thought this one through, because it was very important to me, I know Harry would have insisted that Snape's portrait was on that wall, right beside Dumbledore's. [Applause.] As for whether Harry would go back to talk to him, I think, I'm not sure he would have done. Snape, I was really [?] the week after I finished the book. And I went to a chat room - not a chat room, what am I talking about? [laughter] I never go in chat rooms. I went onto a fan site because I was looking for questions to put up on my Web site, which is sometimes difficult. And I was so heartened to see that people on the message boards that people were still arguing about Snape. The book was out, and they were still arguing whether Snape was a good guy But that was really wonderful to me, because there's a question there, was Snape a good guy or not? In many ways he really wasn't. SoI haven't been deliberately misleading everyone all this time, when I say that he's a good guy. Because even though he did love and he loved very deeply and he was very brave, both qualities that I admire above anything else. He was bitter and he was vindictive... but right at the very very end, he did, as your question acknowledges, acheive a kind of peace together and I tried to show that in the epilogue.
