Phyllis, you're not alone, and I'm so glad you brought it up :o)

Now in an interview you said that Forenze, the Centaur, was based on 
a friend of yours-- but we've hardly seen anything of Forenze.
Well, just keep your eyes open. 

And the Centaurs Prophecy at the end of Philosophers Stone

He'll come back-- enough said. Not everyone has read book four. 

And Gilderoy Lockhart, one of my favourite characters

Gilderoy, bless him, is still in Saint Mungo's hospital for magical 
ailments and injuries, `cos his memory's just gone. So I'm making no 
promises about Gilderoy. 

Was he good fun to write, because he's the opposite of everything you 
wanted to be?
Fantastic fun to write. The best one ever. I loved writing Gilderoy, 
but I've got Rita now you see. I love writing Rita in the same way 
that I loved writing Gilderoy. 




There you go :o)  She made no promises not to bring back Gilderoy . . 
and Firenze . . . so . . . is the magical place that has been 
mentioned . . ST. Mungos???
