Sorry to go a bit off topic but,
I was browsing over some of the other stuff JK had put on her website
in the past, when I came across the hint about the first chapter in
book six, under the extra stuff heading. She says the first chapter of
book six "has been 13 years in the brewing". I always thought this
would be the chapter where we find out what happened that night in
Godric Hollow; but, if chapter two is called Spinners End (which I
believe is probably the name of a place) then I do not think the first
chapter is about Godric's Hollow. JK said we would briefly see the
Dursley's in book six so one would think that we would see them in
chapter one. What could be 13 years in the making that involves the
Dursleys? I would venture the guess that Petunia doing magic would be
it. What do you guys think would be 13 years in the brewing, and would
lead Harry to a new place called Spinners End?
