i was reading on mugglenet before the book came out a list if thing we were supposedto know for sure that would happen in DH
they were things like: the fact that harry has lily's eyes will be really important, we will find out the real reason why some people become ghosts, someone will learn to do magic late in life.
except alot of them didn't happen. i know the one about the person doing magic late in life has already been answered, but does any one know about any of the others??

Character Information

* We will find out something "incredibly important" about Lily Potter.
* R.A.B's identity will be revealed.
* We will discover more about Dumbledore's past.
* We will learn with whom Snape's loyalties lie.
* Something will be revealed about Petunia Dursley, although we already know that she is not a Squib.
* Viktor Krum will return (World Book Day, 2004 interview).
* We will see a reappearance of Dolores Umbridge: "It's too much fun to torture her not to have another little bit more before I finish." (MuggleNet/Leaky Interview)
* JKR has said "There is a character who does manage, in desperate circumstances, to do magic quite late in life, but that is very rare..."

Plot Information

* Harry will face Voldemort for the final time.
* Harry will be attempting to find and destroy Voldemort’s remaining Horcruxes.
* Harry will return to the Dursleys' during the school vacation, but the magical protection Dumbledore arranged will expire when Harry comes of age on his 17th birthday.
* Harry will go to Godric's Hollow.
* The two-way mirror will make a reappearance.
* Fleur and Bill's wedding will occur.li>
* The fact that Harry "has his mother's eyes" will prove to be an important plot point.
* At least one character will die.

Other

* The last word is expected to be "scar," but may change.
* We will learn the exact reason why some people become ghosts when they die and others do not.
* The final chapter, which has already been written, will detail what happens to the surviving characters.
* There will be no more Quidditch matches


the first four are revealed, the one about petunia could be similar to lily, that she met snape when she was a kid or the thing that she didnt say to harry before seeing him for the last time, it wasnt in the book but it was on an interview

the rest of the Character Information and all of the Plot Information does happen as far as i can see

the word scar was of course changed, the ghosts thing isnt very clear but i guess it means something like ppl dying with unresolved issues or not wanting to die, that wasnt really explained and the rest is all in the book

so i dont get what you're asking Confused

harry's eyes were important to snape, its the last thing he wiched to see before dying, i think that was a really intense moment and the ghost part you're correct, it was never properly explained, but im sure its pretty much a very abstract concept

The ghost one was answered in Order of the Phoenix (by Nearly-Headless Nick). JKR said in an interview that she originaly planned to have the answer to this in book 7 but moved it to book 5.

Some people answered these already, but here we go....

Character Information

* We will find out something "incredibly important" about Lily Potter.
This is really vague. I'm guessing it has to do with her and Snape being friends? Really vague.

* R.A.B's identity will be revealed.
This was answered, it's Regulus, Sirius's brother.

* We will discover more about Dumbledore's past.
That we did! And then some...

* We will learn with whom Snape's loyalties lie.
DD, til the end


* Something will be revealed about Petunia Dursley, although we already know that she is not a Squib.
She was jealous of Lily.

* Viktor Krum will return (World Book Day, 2004 interview).
That he did, much to Ron's dismay Very Happy

* We will see a reappearance of Dolores Umbridge: "It's too much fun to torture her not to have another little bit more before I finish." (MuggleNet/Leaky Interview)
Boy did she return!

* JKR has said "There is a character who does manage, in desperate circumstances, to do magic quite late in life, but that is very rare..."
She answered this in the Bloomsbury Live Webchat.

Plot Information

* Harry will face Voldemort for the final time.
yup!

* Harry will be attempting to find and destroy Voldemort’s remaining Horcruxes.
he certainly did, with help from others

* Harry will return to the Dursleys' during the school vacation, but the magical protection Dumbledore arranged will expire when Harry comes of age on his 17th birthday.
it certainly did, enter the 7 Potters!

* Harry will go to Godric's Hollow.
He did and it was very sweet!

* The two-way mirror will make a reappearance.
Yes, along with Aberforth's eye.

* Fleur and Bill's wedding will occur.li>
My favorite chapter!

* The fact that Harry "has his mother's eyes" will prove to be an important plot point.
Someone answered this, but just to sound repetitive, but just to sound repetitive, Harry had her eyes, which was a constant reminder to Snape that he wanted to protect him. Harry's eyes were the last thing Snape wanted to see before he died because they looked like Lily's. When Harry first saw Snape, he saw Snape look right into his eyes.

* At least one character will die.
At least? AT LEAST! It was a bloodbath!!!! Sad

Other

* The last word is expected to be "scar," but may change.
This changed, lol. Someone asked JKR about this in an interview, I think it was the live webchat. She said she changed her mind.

* We will learn the exact reason why some people become ghosts when they die and others do not.
As someone above said, Nearly Headless Nick explained this in OotP. This was also mentioned again in DH when the Grey lady told her story about her and the baron.

* The final chapter, which has already been written, will detail what happens to the surviving characters.
Well, most of the characters. They left out the part where George marries GinnyX and Fred wasn't really dead. He just faked his death and ran off to be alone with Arabella and their 800 cats.

* There will be no more Quidditch matches
No, there weren't and I missed them.

That was what I thought she meant. Now I'm just trying to figure out what that has to do with anything. Confused

You know what was really gay?

No more Quidditch.

It was like SUPA IMPORTANTZZZ in the first book, meh in the second and third.

No where to be seen (at hogwarts) in the later books.

Why? Confused There was Quidditch in all the books except the seventh (even in GoF there was the world cup).

From the Bloomsbury Live Webchat:

Quote:
Snapedinhalf: You promised that someone will do magic late in life in book 7. I've now read it three times but cant work out who it might have been! Please help!!
J.K. Rowling: I'm sorry about this, but I changed my mind!
J.K. Rowling: My very earliest plan for the story involved somebody managing to get to Hogwarts when they had never done magic before, but I had changed my mind by the time I'd written the third book.

Anyone else think the character who managed to use magic late in life might have been Dudley? Before she changed her mind, that is.

I can't imagine why Dudley would go to Hogwarts.


My wager would be on Mrs. Figg finding wome source of magic within her in order to get to the final battle.

i actually think it could have been possible. dudly might have been accepted, then he would stop hating harry because he'd realise how good he is and stuff like that, and mr and mrs dursley would at first be sort of confused but then be very accepting of dudly AND harry.
i really would have liked this to happen, but i'm still happy with how the series turned ot.

If Dudley got accepted to Hogwarts he would probably end up as the new Dark Lord...

He's not really studious, so I couldn't see him excelling. I'd pit him in the same group as Crabbe and Goyle.
