Hi. What I did was go through all the interviews and looked for
questions that JKR did not answered or where the answeres were a bit
peculiar. I combined this with the many mysteries floating around and
my knowledge of the books. Below is the result. A bunch of my ideas
and thoughts as to what might happen. I apologise that it is so
bunched together but I tried to get everything in. If you would like
to see which questions and answers I found worthy of note I have them
here: http://knuckles696.hypermart.net/hpinterviews.htm
1. Dudley's privileged existence has come to an end and will not go
back JKR said to keep an eye on him as it's still not to late for
him, as it is for his parents. But she also mentions a character who
is able to do some magic late in life in a critical situation. Could
it be that Privet Drive will be under attack? And that Petunia
Dursely will actually do something?
Also we do not know what exactly was in the letter that Dumbledore
left, do the Dursleys know more than we have been told? Perhaps the
reasons for Voldemort's determination to kill Harry was in there.
2. In another interview JKR said that Harry was born to shoulder a
certain burden. Could this be related to the prediction. And perhaps
the reason for Dumbledore having that twinkle in his eye was that the
use of Harry's blood part of that prediction?
Also we do not know just how long Trelawney has been around. When did
she make the first prediction and who heard it? It is doubtful that
it was Dumbledore, but it must have been someone who immediately told
him.
3. Was Voldemort trying to kill Harry because of what his parents
were doing? Perhaps he was special before the attack, and that is why
Dumbly does not want him to know yet.
4. What do we gain from knowing wether or not Sirius will be
acquitted?
She said it would ruin an important plot point. What could that be?
5. Cats seem to be important throughout out the book. This may be a
bit far-fetched but in Egypt cats considered the guardians of
underworld. And JKR has drawn attention to that particular region of
the world. And then there is Crookshanks, who appears to be part
Kneazle.
6. There are several occasions that wristwatches are mentioned. When
asked if there would be any more time travel JRK refused to comment.
This seems to hint that there could be.
7. JRK also said that we will see the Weasley car, the centaurs and
Aragog again. So the forest will play an important part. Will they
get involved in the battle or perhaps provide hitherto unknown facts.
8. Why so much attention to the eyes. There are Harry's green eyes
and Voldemort's livid red, and Dumbledore's twinkling blue. Could
there be some kind of magic that is related.
9. JKR said that Harry will visit and see a lot of places that were
mentioned before. How will he visit them? It is possible the fifth
summer will be very action packed because him going during school
seems doubtful. Unless it is related to that mysterious room. And is
it the room that he has not discovered or the properties?
10. The mystery of the ghosts and also the Bloody Barons relation to
Peeves seem to be related. I am guessing we will find out both at the
same time.
11. What would be given away by saying if a DADA will stay longer
than a year?
12. How will we find out about Figg? If there is an attack we might
find out about her during the summer. It is also possible that she
will be the new DADA teacher, since there will be one.
13. "Have any of the Hogwarts professors had spouses?
Good question - yes, a few of them, but that information is sort of
restricted - you'll find out why.. "
How can this be of relevance? Black mail? Hostages?
14. "Will Harry ever notice the long-suffering Ginny Weasley?
You'll see... poor Ginny, eh?.. "
So what will happen to Ginny? Seems to be that she might not be that
long suffering soon? Or is it the opposite?
15. "He might get a different pet at some point but I'm saying no
more at this moment. "
Why would there be any need for a different pet? Does Hedwig die?!
Hope some of this is usefull.
