[the_old_crowd] RE: Conflicts, cheats and credibility

Dung:
But this is appalling!!! If that's the truth, then she didn't have it
planned out at all, she was making it up as she went along, because
she said (right after HBP was published) that Grindy *died* in 1945.

The Deathly Hallows and associated plot points and character arcs
were therefore *made up after she wrote HBP*. They were never planned
all along. I *believed* her, damn it. I feel conned.


Debbie:
You should feel conned.  The only reason I wasn't was because I didn't ever
put much stock in anything she wrote in an interview.  I even suspected she
would change her mind:

Face it, she toyed with our affections.  But, for what it's worth, I think
Grindelwald's survival was a net positive to the book.
