13 Mindblowing Fan Theories That Will Change The Way You Think About "Harry Potter"
Because there are no coincidences in the Wizarding World.
This brilliant theory, regarding Professor Trelawney's prophecy:
Trelawney's theory states that "either must die at the hand of the other, for neither can live while the other survives". Harry takes that to mean that, in the end, either he would kill Voldemort, or Voldemort would kill Harry – but this Imgur user sees it differently. Their theory states that the only way either could die would be at the hand of the other – in other words, after killing Voldemort, Harry would become immortal. Meaning that he could never see his parents, Sirius, or Dumbledore again. Sorry for the feelings.

And this theory, which proves that Trelawney isn't ~quite~ as useless as you might think.
In Prisoner of Azkaban, Professor Trelawney attempts to guess Harry's birth month, and she guesses that he was born in midwinter. Harry was born in July, but this Quora user points out that Voldemort – a part of whose soul was inside Harry at the time – was born on December 31. MIDWINTER.

This theory, which explains why the Dursleys behaved so awfully towards Harry.
While the Dursley's treatment of Harry was obviously inexcusable, it kind of makes sense the way this Tumblr user explains it: Because Voldemort accidentally made Harry into a Horcrux – and, as we know from Deathly Hallows – spending time in the proximity of a Horcrux makes people mean-spirited and miserable – the Dursleys could have acted the way they did because they spend ten years in the proximity of a Horcrux.

This theory that the Centaurs in the Forbidden Forest knew about Harry's fate all along.
This Quora user points out the significance of Harry's meeting with Voldemort in Philosopher's Stone, but the even greater significance of his conversation with the Centaur Firenze. Firenze is reprimanded by the other Centaurs, who ask him how much he told Harry – the theory states that the Centaurs knew all along that Harry and Voldemort would end up fighting to the death in the forest (as they do in Deathly Hallows) and, as is their policy, they can't do anything to stop it.

Twitter Is Very Unhappy With George R.R. Martin Today
The Winds of Winter is nowhere near finished and people are…disappointed.
Fantasy author George R. R. Martin wrote on LiveJournal that his upcoming book, The Winds of Winter, is not even close to being finished.
"The book is not done, not delivered. No words can change that. I tried, I promise you. I failed. I blew the Halloween deadline, and I've now blown the end of the year deadline," wrote Martin.
The book's delay means that Season 6 of Game of Thrones will likely spoil plot points for The Winds of Winter and other upcoming books in the A Song of Ice and Fire series.

Some people on Twitter are, to put it lightly, unhappy about this announcement.
Like really unhappy.

George R. R. Martin Reveals Sixth 'A Song Of Ice And Fire' Novel Is Still Not Finished
Author George R. R. Martin has announced the sixth book in his highly popular A Song of Ice and Fire is still not finished.
There had been speculation the author would announce The Winds of Winter was finished at the end of 2015.
But alas, it's not to be. Writing on his blog, Martin said: "THE WINDS OF WINTER is not finished."
But the book's not done.
Nor is it likely to be finished tomorrow, or next week. Yes, there's a lot written. Hundreds of pages. Dozens of chapters. But there's also a lot still left to write. I am months away still... and that's if the writing goes well. (Sometimes it does. Sometimes it doesn't.) Chapters still to write, of course... but also rewriting. I always do a lot of rewriting, sometimes just polishing, sometimes pretty major restructures.

Martin said he had originally planned to have the book finished and released before the sixth series of Game Of Thrones airs in mid-2016. He attributed the delay to travel, other projects, and family life.
"There are no excuses. No one else is to blame. Not my editors and publishers, not HBO, not David & Dan. It's on me. I tried, and I am still trying," Martin wrote.
"I am going back to my stance from last March, before all this. It will be done when it's done. And it will be as good as I can possibly make it."
I guess, it's back to re-reading and waiting ... so much waiting.
