Question: Is it cannon that silver is dangerous to werewolf? I know it's the
usual theory when it comes to werewolf outside of Harry potter land. But has
JKR ever mentioned it? Reading OOTP, I was thinking that Grimmauld place had
an awful lot of silver laying around. You'd think that they'd get read of
all the silver stuff from the order's quarter if one of the member was a
werewolf and it was dangerous to him. Especially if said member tends to
live in that place (Ooooh, he was living with Sirius, isn't that cute?)...
not just come around for meetings and dinner.
