J.K. Rowling reveals new “Potter” tidbits on Twitter!
It was a happy day indeed for Potter fans when J.K. Rowling joined Twitter – especially since for the past few months she’s been more active than ever in responding to fan questions. And today, perhaps in honor of yesterday’s Harry Potter Book Night, Jo has answered three Potter questions from fans!
First, she thanks everyone for their tweets about Bloomsbury’s Harry Potter Book Night:
I’m so moved by all your messages about HP Book Night. Thank you X

Then, she launches into the good stuff – revealing information about the Potter universe!
@CharlsEC wondered why 12 Grimmauld Place was in Muggle London. The answer:
.@CharlsEC A Black ancestor coveted the beautiful house, so ‘persuaded’ the Muggle occupant to leave & put the appropriate spells on it. — J.K. Rowling (@jk_rowling) February 6, 2015
In response to @EmyBemy2 asking whatever happened to Fluffy:
.@EmyBemy2 He was repatriated to Greece. Dumbledore liked to put Hagrid’s more foolish acquisitions back where they belong – not the forest.

Finally, a somewhat disgruntled response to @llamaofthelab about a fan theory from Tumblr:
.@llamaofthelab The Horcrux-receptacle has to be destroyed BEYOND REPAIR, so Harry would need to have DIED. #pleaseneveraskmethatoneagain — J.K. Rowling (@jk_rowling) February 6, 2015
And then, alas, it was all over:
Sorry, haven’t got time for more than three HP answers this morning. Robert needs me, but take those as a thank you for yr lovely messages x — J.K. Rowling (@jk_rowling) February 6, 2015
