Rowling's commentary and supplement

An email was sent to me by my officemate regarding the Harry Potter 7. I just want to share it:

In an interview and online chat, Rowling gave additional information on the futures of the main characters that she chose not to include in the epilogue of the book. She stated that Harry becomes an Auror at the Ministry of Magic, and is later appointed head of the department. He owns Sirius's motorcycle, which Arthur Weasley repaired for him. Because Voldemort's soul fragment inside him was destroyed, Harry can no longer speak Parseltongue. Harry's best friend Ron works for a time with George at his store, Weasleys' Wizard Wheezes, eventually becoming an Auror. Ron's wife Hermione initially works for the Ministry of Magic in the Department for the Regulation and Control of Magical Creatures, greatly improving life for house-elves and their ilk. She later moves to the Department of Magical Law Enforcement and assists in eradicating oppressive, pro-pureblood laws. She also finds her parents in Australia and removes the memory modification charm she put on them. Ginny Weasley plays for the Holyhead Harpies Quidditch team for a time, then leaves her athletic career behind for marriage and family with Harry. She eventually becomes the lead Quidditch correspondent for the Daily Prophet.

 

The fates of several secondary characters were also revealed by Rowling. Surviving twin George Weasley runs his successful joke shop, helped by Ron. He names his first child Fred, after his late twin brother. Erstwhile Dumbledore's Army member Luna Lovegood searches the world for odd and unique creatures. She eventually marries Rolf, the grandson of the famed naturalist, Newt Scamander. Her father's publication, The Quibbler, has returned to its usual condition of "advanced lunacy" and is appreciated for its unintentional humour. Firenze is welcomed back into his herd, who acknowledge that his pro-human leanings were not shameful, but honourable. Dolores Umbridge is arrested, interrogated, and imprisoned for crimes against Muggle-borns.

 

There has been a transformation in the wider wizarding world. Kingsley Shacklebolt becomes the Minister for Magic, with Percy Weasley working under him as a high official. As one of the reforms introduced by Shacklebolt, Azkaban no longer uses Dementors. Consequently, the world is now a "much sunnier place". At Hogwarts, Slytherin House has become more diluted and is no longer the pureblood bastion it once was. Nevertheless, its dark reputation lingers. Voldemort's jinx on the Defence Against the Dark Arts (DADA) position is broken with his death, and there is a permanent DADA teacher. A portrait of Snape did not appear in the headmaster's office as he abandoned his post before dying. Harry intends to lobby for the addition of Snape's portrait, and reveals to all Snape's true allegiance.

Tear Jerking Monday

Monday morning while waiting to sleep I decided to watch several of my DVD collection of K-movies. Gosh watching YOU ARE MY SUNSHINE makes me cry. Like the one I did when I watched THE PATRIOT of Mel Gibson. The movie is based on a true story. A man who fall in love with a girl with a past.I think the girl on the movie is the who stars in LOVERS IN PRAGUE and the best actress in the CANES FILM FESTIVAL. Anyway after watching the movie I decided to watch another film its CRAZY FIRST LOVE. The lead actor is the one who stars in WINDSTRUCK and MY SASSY GIRL. Its a romantic/comedy one. Those two movies made my day today!
