Harry Potter Rumours

Here are a number of the rumours found floating around on the Net, relating to various aspects of Harry Potter.

I heard (and can't really credit) that Lord Voldemort might be played by Rowan Atkinson.

Before the new Dumbledore was confirmed, I heard that the role might go to Christopher Lee (Saruman in Lord of the Rings)

The title of the sixth book will be "Harry Potter and the Green Flame Torch" [Peter Pettigrew returns] when Harry finds a torch that gives off a green flame that will heal good and kill anything evil.

Harry may be the heir of Godric Griffindor:
1) When he trys out his wand in Ollivanders (book 1), red and gold sparks shoot out of it. Red and gold are the colours of the Gryffindor House.
2) Harry's parents lived in Godric Hollow.
3) In book 2, after Harry pulls Godric Gryffindor's sword out of the Sorting Hat, Dumledore says "Only a true Gryffindor could have pulled it out." Could this have a deeper meaning?

The words of J.K. Rowling

These are things which J.K. Rowling has said, or been rumoured to have said. Actual J.K. quotes will be in "quotes"

What happens to Harry after book 7?
"How do you know he'll still be alive ... It would be one way to kill of the merchandising ... Yeah well. I'm supposed to be richer than the Queen what do I care?"

"... during the three years I've just had, I was writing something else for a while which was really great, it was good, and I might go back to that ... It's just something completely different."

"I'm not going to say I'll never write anything to do with the world of Hogwarts ever again (after book 7). I have often thought (if I wrote) book eight, I think it would be right and proper that it should be a book whose royalties go to charity entirely. It could be the encyclopedia of the world of Hogwarts, and then I could rid myself of every last lurking detail."
