Where is Fawkes?

Fawkes was Dumbledore's pet - and VERY loyal to him. It is uncertain whether or not a phoenix can only have one owner or if he can have more than one. If it is true that he can only have one, then Fawkes is probably gone for good as Dumbledore has died and is not coming back in any 'live' sense of the word.

Otherwise, you have to wonder how someone ends up with a Phoenix as a pet. Does the pet chose the wizard type of thing. If Fawkes chose Dumbledore, might he not come back and choose Harry?

Could Fawkes have gone to Godric's Hallow? How old is the phoenix? How many burning days has he had? I don't believe we have seen the last of Fawkes.

So many questions... not enough answers...

Harry Potter Mega Quiz

Have you reread Harry Potter books 1-6 recently? See how well you remember the facts with this Harry Potter Mega Quiz.

Sirius' Bike and Mirror

"The two-way mirror given to Harry by Sirius Black and his flying motorbike will return. In fact, Rowling has mentioned in one of her FAQs that the two way mirror "will help more than you think." Rowling refused to comment whether Sirius himself might in some way reappear, but she has also said that there was a reason why he had to die."

Why would Sirius have to die? I can only think that perhaps it is because Harry needs to stand alone in the last fight. He has to feel that it is all or nothing and given really, no other choice.

I would love to know what that two-way mirror is going to be used for. Maybe the crew needs to go intot he forbidden forest and talk with each other? emember the mirror is now 'in pieces'. There is more than one or two. Could it be like walkie talkies or cell phones to muggles? hmm...

Got any ideas??

And about that bike, how wonderful would that be if Harry et crew traveled on it to the different places?

More Deaths.. NOT Two Deaths

Again I saw in a print and online media article that there will be two deaths… NO! Get it right people. JKL Rowling has said that there will be two deaths she didn’t plan, as to how many, she didn’t say:

"This is the thing that I was very dubious about showing you... This is the final chapter of book seven. This is really where I wrap everything up, it's the epilogue. And I basically say what happens to everyone after they leave school - those who survive - because there are deaths - more deaths coming. It was a way of saying to myself, 'Well, you will get it, you will get to book seven one day. And then you'll need this!' So I'd just like to remind all the children I know who come around my house and start sneaking into cupboards that it's not there anymore - I don't keep it at home anymore for very, very, very obvious reasons. So there it is." – J. K. Rowling

Do any Weasleys die?

According to J.K. Rowling in the Cub Reporter Press conference following the release of the Half-Blood Prince, the Weasleys find themselves "in the firing line" as a direct result of their "blood-traitor" status.

A death of a Weasley has been foreshadowed since the first book, really, if you think about Ron on the real sized chess set. He put himself in harms way so that Harry could go on. Then there is Ginny almost loosing her life in the Chamber of Secrets And Mr. Weasley in the Order of the Phoenix. Then Mrs. Weasley’s bogart really maps it all out for us, doesn’t it?

I wonder which in this family will be able to survive, actually….

What does Hallows mean?

In Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows we will find out what exactly hallows are, but for now we can speculate as I do not think that they will be far off the mark of the definition itself. Dictionary.com defines Hallows as a verb 'to make or set apart as holy'.

In the title however, it is used as a noun. A noun is a person, place or thing. So taking the verb definition and turning it into a noun we have a person who makes or sets apart as holy or a place that makes or sets apart as holy or a thing that makes or sets apart as holy. I’m going with the thing that makes or sets apart as holy… now doesn’t that open a whole can of fun speculation?

A thing – ceremony? ritual? – that makes something – person? Harry? other horcruxes? – set apart as holy – or perhaps clear of all of the Dark Lords soul… hmmm…

Does Voldemort have a Gringotts vault?

He must, he has to have loads of gold and jewels – where else would he keep his fortune? He has probably amassed quite a bit, but I wonder what else could be hiding in his vault… perhaps a horcrux! There are quite a few missing, and Gringotts is said to be the safest place besides Hogwarts. If anyone tries to break in, they get sucked into the vault and not found for approximately 10 years, eek!

Which horcrux would most likely be kept in a Gringotts vault? The tiara is at Hogwarts, Harry saw it, the ring and the diary have been destroyed, the snake is with the Dark Lord, if it is even a horcrux, the cup… is nowhere. Although I think someone has it, but it could be at the vault. Or the horcrux we don’t know about? This could be fun to speculate on…
