Despite what J.K. Rowling says about the fate of dear Professor Dumbledore - there has been a Dumbledore sighting, strangely enough, in the United States. Perhaps he’s taking some down time to explore new places…
Or at least he’s inspiring crafting. I made the Dumbledore hat for the costume. It’s a simple felted [...]

Here is the letter I sent to MSNBC this past Monday:
Dear Mr. Olbermann and MSNBC,
Last week, news outlets reported that a computer
hacker hacked into Bloomsbury Publisher’s computer and
was posting spoilers from Harry Potter and the Deathly
Hallows online
(http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/entertainment/6225910.stm).
Most Harry Potter related websites (including the
website that I run called Harry Potter Prognostications - http://www.hpprogs.com) reported
this story but [...]

We know for sure that some characters are going to die in Deathly Hallows. Last year in an interview, J.K. Rowling said that two characters die who she had not originally thought would die in the end of the story. That means at least two characters die, but probably more. And that’s probably not counting Harry and/or Voldemort. So who lives and who dies? Tell us who you think will die, and more importantly, why you think so.

Like Hogwarts Castle itself, the Harry Potter books hold many mysteries, and have many hidden secrets. Hopefully, most of these mysteries will be answered in the final book. Is something funny going on at St. Mungos? What ever happened to Sirius’ two-way mirrors? Where is Fawkes? There are so many others. What mystery are you most looking forward to being answered, and how do you think it will come out?

In an interview in 2005, J.K. Rowling confirmed that, as of that time, the last word in the final Harry Potter book was “scar”. How do you imagine the final page of Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows will look? Write your own ending for the book and share it with us! The only requirements: Please write one to three paragraphs max, and the last word of your entry must be “scar”.{[p]UPDATE: The Last Word is No Longer Scar![p]Friday night (7/6/07) on the Jonathan Ross show on the BBC, J.K. was asked if “scar” still the last word in the book, as had been reported, and she said, “Scar? It was for ages, and now it’s not. Scar is quite near the end, but it’s not the last word.” So, please continue with our three paragraph fantasy endings, but you no longer have to make “scar” the last word if you don’t want…}
