Follow-up: A letter from Jo
Yesterday, we posted a letter a MuggleNet visitor had received from JK Rowling. The letter contained numerous bits of information concerning rumors and the title of Book 7. JK Rowling's agent confirmed for us that the letter was genuine, but they requested that we take it down to maintain the privacy of its contents.
We thank Ryan for providing us with the letter, and we apologize that we could not release it.

doesn't it sound like she's just commenting on his theories or is the blurred bit the spoiler bit? Im not sure...
The blurred bit is Jo talking to him about his OMG!AWFUL! life.
You learn new things about yourself every day huh, Ionut? I would like to point out that the news post doesn't say who asked them to take it down, just that they were asked to take it down for privacy reasons. I don't think it had anything really important in it to begin with. It was just a cool little thing that got put up on Mugglenet.
colourmeconfused, you didn't say anything wrong. Look at this line from harrypottergirl0106: "she has never gived out early information before" Gived? Please. Clearly you're not dealing with a sharp one there. Don't sweat over it. And speaking of the murder of the English language, someone please get me some of what scottw is having. Did anyone really think that JKR would give out information about Book Seven to someone privately?
"Did anyone really think that JKR would give out information about Book Seven to someone privately?" Only if you have cancer and will be dead before the series finishes ;) (like that girl that got a spot in book 4)
You know, it's bull... to post this when you're not going to tell anything for whatever reasons. It just makes my overly curious and truth-obsessed self absolutely furious. Sorry.
So i suppose im the only one shocked that she told him about...such things? and im the only one who regrets reading the letter, and knowing, like, everything about bk 7 now? I feel awful, i need to buy some self control...
Katiemay, you didn't read the letter. If you had, you would know that Jo said NOTHING of consequence in it.
She said about the horcrux thing and about dumbledore, in the first line, have u read it?
I totally understand how the letter should be left personal. I think it's better if it's not shown due to the fact we all thrive on the mystery and theories of book 7. It'd be boring and stupid to know what happened before we actually read the book.
I read it and it only said that JKR thinks she has the title for book seven, but she isn't going to tell us what it is. There was one other small thing in there I think. I just can't remember what it was though.
Wait, maybe what i read was only speculation? At the link Katiebell posted on the previous page, it said that? Someone read it and tell me if she did in fact say the things about Dumbledore and horcruxes and dying that i read. Please? Because u all are acting like, at the link Katiebell posted, she said nothing...
Aww ... thank you to katiebell & hpcrazy for posting links. I have it saved on my computer now ... muhahahaha. =)
I wish that we could see that letter. I also wish that Jo would tell us the title of the seventh book and how many chapters it has so far!
He gave theories on what he thought would happen in book 7 she said something along the lines about the theories 'I'm not laughing'. If she didn't want that info about maybe having a title for book 7, or anything in that matter why write it? But it's like other fans who get a letter from a celeb, you see those letters....oh well...it's over with and she'll tell us when something comes up. Thanks though Ryan for the read...
sooo... does that mean that the letter contained the title of Book 7 or just rumors about it? I don't get the whole privacy thing, either. I mean, it would just save us a lot of time writing to her and just seeing something someone would have to wast 5 seconds folding the paper up, licking the envelope, putting a stamp on, and putting it in the mail. I just don't get it.
Ryan here. I must say im pleased that MN confirmed it is legit that should silence all those who tjhought i was some attention seeking idiot with nothing better to do! thanks! I sent the letter in thinking it would be of interest instead i got attacked! cheers! Im dissapointed its down becuase of 'pressure' from outside! Very umbridgey isnt it. the powers above us have prevented the freedom of information. Jo knew i woud share the relevant info with fellow fans and im disapointed that she hasnt been asked if it sok to share the parts of the letter i have. shame.
Man i don't care if they released it or not.... its still totally cool that a mugglenet reader got a letter from Jo.
Hey Ryan, you are so lucky!! I mean, like, how many people from Mugglenet alone have written letters to JK and all any of us got back was that auto-letter thing with 'dear friend' instead of your name on it. Go you!!
Wow, it took a lot longer than I thought it would for "Ryan" to turn up.
AnyaMarcos - can you say something nice about someone for a change??
katiemay said: "She said about the horcrux thing and about dumbledore, in the first line, have u read it?" Yes, I read it. Everything you mentioned was Ryan's part of the letter, not Jo's. Most people got that, in fact I think you're the only one I've seen who didn't. Learn to read things more carefully.
That's too bad. I was going to save it just in case something like this happened, but I said, "Nah, it can wait for tomorrow." Dang. I never even got to read it. Oh well, I'm sure it was for the best.
Eimear, sure I can. Ryan is lucky to have gotten the letter.
Good man.
can someone send me what she wrote? flik258@yahoo.com
OMG!!!!! I HAV 2 GET MY HANDS ON THAT LETTER!!!! IF ONLY SHE'D SENT IT TO ME (RYAN) INSTEAD OF OTHER RYAN! DARN!
Hlt crap, foks, read the comments. Links to the letter and to the bits blurred out of the JPG file have already been posted.
wait... the letter actually included the title of book 7??? was that the blocked out part? the part i read she only said she'd decided on one! i doubt she actually gave away the name but that's how this post is worded...
K... can sum1 please send me the contense as well (good idea flik258) thatkidnexttotheotherkid21k@mugglenet.com Cheers if u do... and damn ye if u don't
can someone clear up the confusion????????!!!!!!!!!!
Hey sidiel, did it occur to you that she had sent the letter to RYAN not to the public, but Ryan chose to publicise it.
No, the title of Book 7 was not in the letter because it said: "As for the title of Book 7, I can't tell you, but I think I've finially come up with one." Personally, I think a good title would be "Harry Potter and the Quest for the Horcruxes".
Ok- some fella named Ryan wrote to JK and outlined the following theories: Harry is a Horcrux. RAB is Regulus Black. Dumbledore is not dead. Snape is good. Harry will succeed in destroying the remaining horcruxes but will be faced with a dilemma when he learns that he himself is one. Harry will be killed by Voldermort who will believe he has won, but then Neville Longbottom will step forward and finish the Dark Lord off once and for all. She replied: As for your theories, I'm certainly not laughing. Book seven: can't tell you the title (you didn't really expect it, did you?!) but I think I've finally got one. It could have been called a lot of things, you see. Mow mugglenet have been asked to take it the letter down due to privacy reasons. Got that everyone?
Is there any point in this news post if there's no letter to read? All it seems to be doing is annoying a load of people
I didnt see any links to the blurred out stuff...did I miss something? Do you all really think that Harry's going to die? Or do you think that Neville will come up with some herb potion thing to get rid of Harry's scar and that that will kill Voldemort?
I wish I had gotten to see the letter before they took it down! *goes and pouts in the corner*
DAMN!!! Why on earth had the letter to be removed? i dont think the letter had any such information. fortunately i had saved it on my computer!
Eimear, haha you definately made me laugh sooo hard. i was actually going to put that up after ive been reading these comments. I saw the letter as well & i can confirm that everything Eimear said is word for word correct. I know everyone is so excited but we all need to just breath. calm down & do something else to pass your time for the info of book 7. Everyone else as well as i want to know but we have to just relax and be patient.
darn, i missed it, thatd would've been interesting to see
Patience is certainly NOT my strong point...
WHAA so not fair! way to tease us. release! release!
NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO we don't get to see it?! Anyway, why would Jo only tell ONE PERSON a whole bunch of facts? Why did she even tell him?! WHY NOT ME?! On a happier note, I've also gotten a letter from her; but it was years ago, and it didn't have any info. It was a reply to a Daily Prophet my friends and I made... I'm not lying! HONEST!
*sigh* Well, thanks for letting us know about the letter anyway.....
i remember that the private content was blurred out...but w.e. i already read it yesterday anywayz...all she sed was that book 7 title was ALMOST coming and that the theories ryan mentioned to her about RAB bein regalus black, dumbledore is not dead, and harry is a horcrux were not laughable theories....thats all
WHY NO RELEASE? WE WANT TO KNOW TOO.
I was under the impression that if the letter was one written by a visitor to the site, and it is his letter, he should be able to have it posted if he wants it to be. I dont think they have a say, but I might be wrong.....
No big deal although if ryan said it was ok for mugglenet to have the letter than why should jk's agent order it down its his choice not theirs
i just dont understand why this is a news post. although am i a little curious about the letters contents. oh well
Can you people not read?? She did not give him any new information! The only thing she said was that she already has the title for the next book. OMG big shocker! What an exclusive! not.
