It has been years since the Harry Potter series wrapped up but fans just couldn't get enough of The Boy Who Lived. A few days ago, author J.K. Rowling indulged fans with a little Q&A time on Twitter (@jk_rowling) and answered some lucky fans' questions.
The first question pertained to the horcrux that was inside Harry Potter, which linked him to Voldemort. "How come when Harry gets bitten by the Basilisk in Chamber of Secrets it doesn't destroy the horcrux in him?" a user named @llamaofthelab asked.
"The Horcrux-receptacle has to be destroyed BEYOND REPAIR, so Harry would need to have DIED," answered Rowling. She added the hashtag please never ask me that one again.
The next question she answered was more personal, since @gazing_venus asked her what her favourite brand of tea was. Rowling answered, "Lancashire tea. I'm drinking it right now."
The second Harry Potter-related question was about Fluffy, Hagrid's furry and vicious three-headed guard dog in The Sorcerer's Stone.
"What happened to Fluffy after he was released into the forest? I hope he returned to Hogwarts for the battle!" @EmyBemy2 said.
"He was repatriated to Greece," Rowling replied. "Dumbledore liked to put Hagrid's more foolish acquisitions back where they belong - not the forest."
The third question pertained to the Blacks' ancestral home 12 Grimmauld Place, which was later owned by Harry after his godfather Sirius died.
"Why is 12 Grimmauld place in the middle of a muggle house complex?" @CharlsEC asked.
"A Black ancestor coveted the beautiful house, so 'persuaded' the Muggle occupant to leave & put the appropriate spells on it," explained Rowling.
She later apologised that she doesn't have time to answer more than three Harry Potter questions that morning, but she did thank her fans for their "lovely messages."
Despite this, Rowling was not able to resist answering one more question, which was sent by@hanzandz: "What about the resurrection stone from the ring that still worked even after its horcrux was destroyed?"
"The crack in the stone was irreparable. Only Dumbledore (could) have extracted the soul fragment but left the original charm intact," the author wrote.
