*Spoiler* The one who got the reprieve in Harry Potter:

Arthur Weasley.

Also, she's strongly considering writing an encyclopedia with still more backstory. The longer the better, I say. I've got a few feet of space on my shelf :D

1. What's weird about that is...

She says he got the reprieve back in book 5 (presumably when Nagini attacked him).

The way I read her original comment was that she had allowed someone to live in book 7 who originally would have died.

2. I read it the same way...

4. Me too

..so my guess was Hagrid or Neville. I was shocked to find out it was Arthur.

IIRC, she said her husband told her that "she couldn't kill off that character, that too many people would be upset and after all_____ went through it wouldn't be fair." That's why I thought perhaps Neville or Hagrid.

3. i wouldn't think it would be easy to employ so vast an assembly of literary vehicle...

and just end it, even after planning to have ended upon the point a just one (.), and no that's not a boob that's a *period*, she'll have to go forward not unlike Lucas i.e. forward, backward, sideways, pre-quells, etc...the lunch pales & t-shirts are already here, i wish her all the best, she has created a most wonderful literary opus
