Okay, now I feel like an idiot. Earlier today I wrote this:

Remembering JKR's infamous "I almost revealed it all in Chamber of

contemplation.----------

Rightfully, someone wrote to me offlist to ask me where this quote
came from...and I set off in search of it. I've spent a couple of
hours with no luck. I found this oft-quoted one--
They have such fun with their theories - and it is fun, it is fun.
And some of them even get quite close. No-one has ever - I have gone
and looked at some of it and no-one's ever... There is one thing
that if anyone guessed I would be really annoyed as it is kind of
the heart of it all. And it kind of explains everything and no-one's
quite got there but a couple of people have skirted it. So you know,
I would be pretty miffed after 13 or 14 years of writing the books
if someone just came along and said I think this will happen in book
seven. Because it is too late, I couldn't divert now, everything has
been building up to it, and I've laid all my clues.

--and this--
Kloves will suggest cutting something from the script and Rowling
will throw up a caution flag like, "No, something happens in Book
Six that you'll need that to be in (Movie Two)."
"I've given Steve more than I've ever told anyone else," confides
Rowling, wondering if that disclosure will open his life to fresh
kidnapping and extortion threats. As for Kloves, he hasn't been in
an odder situation: "I'm writing a story to which I do not know the
end!" He pauses, then adds with the hint of a smile, "That sometimes
happens in my own work but here, I'm writing this over a decade."
Kloves and Rowling disclose, with appropriately cryptic flair, that
a key scene in "The Chamber of Secrets" foreshadows emotional
complications among three characters that will become apparent when
the newest book is issued in June.

--but not the one I THOUGHT I remembered, wherein JKR said that she
came close to revealing it all in CoS. So is this a phantom in my
imagination? Did I make it up??? Help!!
