WARNING – IF YOU’RE TRYING TO AVOID POTTER PLOT SPECULATION, MAYBE DON’T READ ON…
There’s been a lot of talk about plot leaks of the seventh and final Harry Potter novel, and particularly Internet spoilers about the ending, but I wonder if JK Rowling offered a big clue to anyone who’s read a gospel, in an interview with Canadian journalist Max Wyman.
Asked if she was a Christian, Rowling answered:
‘Yes, I am, which seems to offend the religious right far worse than if I said I thought there was no God. Every time I’ve been asked if I believe in God, I’ve said yes, because I do, but no one ever really has gone any more deeply into it than that, and I have to say that does suit me, because if I talk too freely about that I think the intelligent reader, whether 10 or 60, will be able to guess what’s coming in the books.’
Is Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows heading for an Aslan-style finale?
