This is really more of a comment or question than anything else. I
cut and pasted several of JKR's comments regarding book 6 below. It
seems to me (although I may be misreading the info) that JKR is
stating that book six will mention certain events that take place in
all the books, and that a discovery Harry makes in book 2 foreshadows
something he realizes/finds out in book 6.
So does that mean that Harry and gang will start to go over the
events from year 1-5? Are they trying to figure something out? Do
they start looking at their past experiences through a penseive
(trying to make connections like DD perhaps)? Or are the events that
are mentioned from each book regarding Harry's relationship with
certain people like Snape or Dumbledore? Will Harry begin to take
control of his emotions? Will he become introspective, thinking
before acting out?
Did Sirius leave a record of himself somewhere? with memories of the
past? I keep thinking that the Weasley parents are going to die;
does/did Mrs. Weasley keep a diary? Will we find out who the half
blood prince is through a diary, Will, Ron's brain attack memories,
or a penseive memory?
Will Ginny reveal something about her encounter with Tom Riddle that
will make the kids go over events from the past?
Just some thoughts with no real answers yet.
>From JKR's website:
"The plot of 'Prince' bears no resemblance whatsoever to the plot
of 'Chamber', nor is it an off-cut of 'Chamber'. The story
of 'Prince' takes off where 'Phoenix' ended and does not hark back to
four years previously. True, mention is made to events that happened
in 'Chamber,' but of course, mention is also made of events that
happened in 'Stone', 'Azkaban', 'Goblet' and 'Phoenix'."
"The link I mentioned between books two and six does not, in fact,
relate to the 'Half-Blood Prince' (because there is no trace left of
the HBP storyline in 'Chamber'.) Rather, it relates to a discovery
Harry made in 'Chamber' that foreshadows something that he finds out
in 'Prince'."
