"Special Fan" - fact or fiction...and why was it painful to write

[Rebecca Sylvester]

No: HPFGUIDX 59620

Like you Kristen, I looked and looked for any reference to the "special fan" of Harry Potter
<<Did anyone ever find the reference to the "special fan" of Harry's>> and have never found one.  I do recall the interview where it was stated that writing the death of this particular person was difficult to write and my own personal theory agrees with your second theory
<<b) the character is special to JKR>> I think that it is someone that JKR feels a special bond with, either because it reminds her of someone from her own life or because he/she is close to a character based on someone from her life.  I am anxious to find out who it is, thus ending the arguments, but I would love to hear other theorys. 
 
Thanks,
Rebecca

being the death in OoP?  I looked through all the interviews I could 
find with JKR and never found a reference.  The only factual 
reference I have found is that the death is painful to write.  That 
means to me either that a. the circumstances of the death are painful 
or b. the character that dies is special to JKR.  It also makes a 
difference when folks are guessing who the death will be.

If someone did find the interview with the special fan quote, could 
you please post the reference?

Thanks
Kristen
