Line 23:
* [[Jossed]]: Blaise Zabini, first named in [[Harry Potter and The Philosopher's Stone|the first book]] and a popular [[OC Stand In]], gets his first proper introduction in [[Harry Potter/Harry Potter and The Half-Blood Prince|the sixth]]. Fans who had written Blaise as white or female were outraged that he turned out to be a black male.
** A lot of fanfics ended up being victimized when it turned out Ginny is not a shorthand for Virginia Weasley, but Ginevra. Which could have been seen coming, considering that Ginevra is a British name (and an old one at that, as is popular among wizards) while Virginia is mostly an American one besides people like [[Virginia Woolf]].
* [[What Could Have Been]]: Rowling was asked permission to make a Harry Potter musical ''[http://www.mugglenet.com/app/news/show/3809 by Michael Jackson!]'' Sadly, she turned him down. Rowling has always fought to keep Harry Potter as British as possible.
* [[Word of God]]: Quite prevalent as Rowling gives a lot of extra information through interviews. Also, the [http://www.jkrowling.com/textonly/en/faq.cfm FAQ] she keeps on her personal website.
