JKRowling.com’s secret “Room of Requirement” door (accessed by clicking the eraser on her main desk and then clicking the handle on the door) is now open, revealing the map of the future generations of Harry Potter characters. Jo Rowling drew this chart while being filmed for the documentary, “JK Rowling, A Year in the Life,” which will air on British ITV tomorrow evening.

Bad. Very bad. Very, very bad.

First: JKR tells us DD died in 1996.

Now she states that Fred died in 1997. Gosh! Ms Rowling READ YOUR OWN BOOKS!!!

1st year – 1991-1992 2nd year – 1992-1993 (read the Deathday Party in CoS Ms Rowling! You yourself gave us the date 31 October 1492!) 3rd year – 1993-1994 4th year – 1994-1995 5th year – 1995-1996 6th year – 1996-1997 7th year (well… sort of…) – 1997-1998

The whole timeline goes to hell with this… I am worried about the Scottish Book now. Shudders.

I just hope Albus’s dad and friends calls him “Al”. It sounds a bit stilted, even for a wizarding name. That way the new series, when it starts, can be called Al & Jim.

And maybe then we’ll hear more about Grindelwald’s horcrux.

This is wonderful. Thank you Jo. I really don´t want to sound like a complete spoilt ungrateful prat, but why do we get the middle name of Draco´s child and not the middle names of Ron and Hermione´s children? I am sure JKR has given them middle names and I hope she tells us one day. Yes, I am that weird. LoL. I am a sucker for this kind of details. :-)

I am glad to know that George was happy again, well as happy as he could be, but he is a strong character, and he would never give up. And after lettting it sink in a while, I don´t find it ‘creepy’ anymore that he has married his dead twin brother´s ex girlfriend. I think Angelina could help George best to deal with the loss of his twin, since she was so close to Fred as well.

DOMINIQUE ??? OH-MY-GOD ! Jo, this poor kid deserved better than that… It’s a name no longer used for children…

@Thomas

“God” has nothing to do with Rowling´s books, really.

emma08: Dominique is a girl. First, because, Jo said Victoire was Bill and Fleur’s oldest daughter, ——Posted by Marie on December 30, 2007 @ 02:58 AM, thanks for pointing that out, I was wondering about that one.

It’sfunny that’s Percy who named a girl after his mother, he of all Weasley’s was mum’s dearest and closest andd most receptable to Molly’s meddling. I feared Lily Potter got that name, but Lily Luna might be a nice gesture to Luna Lovegood-Scamander, accoustic it’s a drag and potential for therapy.

now we know the name of mrs Percy weasley, we can nag about what happende to penelope clearwater, Percy’s girldfriend for two books… did she gave him the sack or did she perish in the war.

good luck for the charley shippers, he stays unmarried, all potentials open for canonclose fanfic.

Not reading it. I cut out my epilogue with a pair of scissors. (it is the evil that butchered my favorite parts of fandom)

I’m glad to hear that nothing is impeding on Charlie fannon though.

Who said that Grindlewald made a Horcrux? I don’t see that at all.

And geez about having the correct timeline. If it all depended on Nicks birthday, its hardly at the forefront is it? no point stressing that…

I absolutely flipped out when I noticed that the door was open over at Jo’s Website. Thank you Jo – another Christmas present from you ;) I loved all the names – they are really cool..and yes…really cute of Percy to call his daughter Molly (Molly you were so in the battle at Hogwarts…by by Bellatrix) ...I am not worried or surprised that Charlie did not marry…I mean..what girl/woman wants to share her love with DRAGONS ;) !!!!
