harry potter theory thread

Innappropriate charms...well, I would guess he probably took them to dinner parties having taught them to say naughty things.

I wonder what would happen if Future Esthar got into the Harry Potter series.

Something terrible.

He would say Hermione is Doubledore's daughter

Considering JKR's answer to an 8 year old that asked her about it, exactly what you're afraid to imagine.

[Gwawr]

Can we REALLY bring bestiality into a kids book?

[rubah]

. . . Yeah, we can.

Q: In the Goblet of Fire Dumbledore said his brother was prosecuted for practicing inappropriate charms [JKR buries her head, to laughter] on a goat; what were the inappropriate charms he was practicing on that goat?

JKR: How old are you?

Eight.

JKR: I think that he was trying to make a goat that was easy to keep clean [laughter], curly horns. That's a joke that works on a couple of levels. I really like Aberforth and his goats. But you know Aberforth having this strange fondness for goats if you've read book seven, came in really useful to Harry, later on, because a goat, a stag, you know. If you're a stupid Death Eater, what's the difference. So, that is my answer to YOU.
