I think, starting with foreshadowing even in the first book, that JKR probably had that backstory already planned out... so that very well could have been deliberate. I'll admit that was done very well. |
JK Rowling is one of those great authors who write their works so flawlessly that you are actually half-pleased to find a mistake in their book(s). It assures you that a human can write such a masterpiece, which gives us hope that we will yet again come across another before we leave our life.
To someone like me...who writes books also(though I'm still a teenager), it absolutely astounds me when i think that people like JK Rowling, Tolkien, etc. have not only such a vivid imagination that they can put into words - but the brain power to find anything that isn't yet flawless in their books and make it so. And of course...the fact that they can write something so wonderful and entertaining that we have lines of people waiting anxiously outside our bookstores for the most anticipated book launch of the century
They (to me) are the most perfect specimens of the human race - and i say authors instead of doctor's for instance - because doctors are doing what's needed to be done - saving lives...unlike authors, who are doing something they don't have to. They are giving us places to escape whatever is stressing us out. They give us works to inspire us, to help us, and to make us happy.
Soz if i got all sentimental and sappy on yah then! I have my "moments", and it best to ride them out!
