No spoilers, just references to JKR-interviews and speculation.

I was thinking about my expectations for the sixth Harry Potter book. It occurred to me that I was expecting Riddle-backstory pretty strongly (didn't JKR say that was coming up soon?), was convinced of Founder-backstory for reasons I can't quite pin down, and found the theory fairly plausible that the almost-used-before chapter might depict Voldemort's attack at Godric's Hollow.

At this point I was forced to stop and ask myself whether I was expecting there to be room for anything about Harry's actual sixth year. :)

You reckon she'd start with a flashback chapter? I'm doubtful - didn't JKR say that the chapter was originally going in CoS? But CoS was more about wizarding world history - the personal history came out more in PoA. Though I guess that could be what she changed.
I just cant see how she'd work it structurally. Oh well, only another 5 days before I'm proved wrong! ;)


I said I found that one plausible, not that it was a strong prediction -- but no, actually I think what she said was that she almost used this first chapter in PS, PoA, and OotP. *checks* Yes, that was it. Well, pretty much. It might not have been going to be first in PoA or OotP. http://www.jkrowling.com/textonly/extrastuff_view.cfm?id=6

I'd agree that the Godric's Hollow attack wouldn't seem like very probable almost-material for CoS. :)

Anyway, I don't know how she'd do it, but it seems possible.

Thanks for the link - yes, I could see Godric's Hollow being used in PS or PoA, but I'm not sure about OotP.

Still, not long to wait now!
