if there was no way to put it into the story, though, there's no way to put it into the story. I don't follow the books, but as a writer myself, I can kinda guess that there might just not have been a place for it without it being random or awkward.

"Harry, I have some seriously important, plot developing and moving information that is very, very crucial to the ending of the last book--but first, in case you didn't follow the subtext, I'm completely flaming."

Cuz apparently there was subtext. And if she was /asked/ the question (cuz apparently she was), yeah, she had a right to answer truthfully. And ANYTHING the creator says is canon.

Haha, good point.

And ANYTHING the creator says is canon.

But I disagree on this, just on principle. As an example, some author could just be joking around and then some numbnut decides to take it seriously. Yes, the author said it, but it's not canon. Should the people know the author was joking? Yes. Will they? Not likely, especially if they only skim an article or catch the tail end of a conversation. Or (another example) if somebody finds old manuscripts that end up getting sold later. The author wrote it, but it's not canon.

but that's completely out of context. If the author DOES say its canon, it is. She wasn't joking here, and that's not the point being made.

YOU DO HAVE A POINT. If the author's goofing around, sure. But...she wasn't.

There's always exceptions to everything. But you can't pull out that argument here because what's being said doesn't fall under that exception. It was said in all seriousness and it was post the final part of the series, meaning it in all likely hood is concrete.

I was just pointing out that one sentence being unrealistic. It was a separate sentence on its own, so I wanted to point that out to you. I'm glad you understood what I was saying.

It was said in all seriousness and it was post the final part of the series, meaning it in all likely hood is concrete.

And I do understand what you're saying, and, in fact, agree. If she said it in seriousness, then it stands. But I still can't help but think, on her part, it may have partially been a publicity stunt.
