Question re Secret Keepers...

[Majimaune]

Oh right. You do that a lot don't you.

 

[The Upright Man]

not when harry is concerned or feist for that matter

were you the one that tried to get me to read pern?

 

[Erin99]

Well, there's not long to wait now, is there? Perhaps we'll finally get our answers.

 

[The Upright Man]

doubt it..she make us wait till comic relief or summit next year with a mere 10 page book with all the answers and it costs like £8 or $16

 

[Majimaune]

Yes probably....

 

[Erin99]

No!!! I couldn't bear that!

JK -- think of the fans!





Nah, I think she'll be more than pleased to finally be free of him -- after all, it's been over ten years, hasn't it?

 

[Majimaune]

Yeah the first book came out 97 or 98 but she was writing well before that.

 

[HoopyFrood]

Well, we have the answer to this, anyway!

The charm stops when those under it die. Ergo when the Potters were killed, the charm 'died' as well.

 

[Erin99]

Wohooo! Speculation at an end!

 

[Majimaune]

Yay!!!!! That means this thread is closed?

I think Harry's now been in her life for 17 years.

As long as the encyclopaedia is thick and full of detail, I don't begrudge Comic Relief that much money. It's not as if it's lining the pockets of JKR or her publishers (as the 10+ million copies of Hallows has just done, in a single day).

 

[Majimaune]

10 million copies in one day?! Wow.

But Harry didnt die so the charm should not have stopped.

 

[Erin99]

Perhaps the charm was somehow able to tell that it had failed, and therefore switched itself off.

 

[Erin99]

10 million copies in one day?! Wow.

I know -- isn't that a scary amount? If I ever get published, I'll be lucky to sell that many copies in my lifetime.

 

[Majimaune]

Yeah that was what I was thinking too.

I think the charm just failed for some unknown reason.
