It’s Official, J.K. Rowling Confirms Her Favorite ‘Harry Potter’ Fan Theory

But the ultimate authority – Potter scribe J.K. Rowling – threw her weight behind a specific hypothesis on Friday when a fan asked about her favorite one. The famous “Harry Potter” author has used the social media platform in the past to answer questions about minor characters’ fates or background on locations in the books. The first brother receives an unbeatable wand – the Elder Wand – which he uses to vanquish his most powerful opponent.

Meanwhile, Harry would be the youngest brother who lived his life under the cloak and, when he grew old, greeted “Death as an old friend” before going with him gladly.

As a continuation of the theory, Dumbledore is the personification of Death.

The fan came to the conclusion by connecting crucial dots such as Dumbledore’s possession of the Hallows at different points in the novel, Voldemort’s fear of death and Dumbledore, and that moment when the maestro greeted Harry upon his death. Dumbledore is who Harry meets at the King’s Cross station when he dies briefly in the Deathly Hallows.

You have heard it from the creator herself. On Twitter Friday (Aug. 21) she wrote that it is her very favorite fanmade notion about the series because “It’s a lovely theory and it fits”.

A popular theory about “The Tale of the Three Brothers” from THE TALES OF BEEDLE THE BARD, a book of fairy tales introduced in the final installment in Rowling’s magical series, has been making the rounds. Hogwarts will always be home to many, and we’ll keep coming back as long as it will take us.
