starrylitesOkay, this isn't important, I'm willing to admit that right now. But I watched the trailer for the PoA DVD the other day and there's a small piece of the interview with JK Rowling. In that interview she says that in the movie, she added foreshadows that wasn't in the book to the last two books (did you follow all of that? I don't know if I made it very clear). Anyway, so my brain was working on this idea when I saw the movie again this morning and I'm wondering what you all think about it.
1 - In Defense Against the Dark Arts when Snape is teaching and Hermione speaks out of turn about werewolves, she mentions that a werewolf will only answer to the call of its own kind. Well, that being true, why did Werewolf Lupin respond to Hermione's fake howl after she and Harry have gone back in time? Foreshadow that Hermy turns werewolf? One would hope not, but ya never know.
2 - When Lupin is giving Harry Patronus lessons and Harry picks his new memory, he picks a memory he made up involving his parents, just sitting there talking to them. Well, for the Patronus to work you have to have a memory strong enough to fight them off, and it would seem to me a made-up memory with his parents wouldn't have enough power. Is it possible that Harry somehow in the future books sees his parents and does get to talk to them?
3 - When Harry returns the crystal ball to Professor Trelawney's classroom, he sees Sirius whispering his name in the crystal ball. In the books, Harry never sees a darn thing in the crystal ball. So, it is possible that Harry does in fact have powers of Divination but he hasn't shown them yet?
Anyway, that was my insight. I'm sure I'll come up with more the more often I watch the stupid thing. But anyway, just wondering what your opinions are. :) hehe
