Okay. So, apparently there have been reports that a certain R.A.B has actually been revealed by the translator who translates the books into Portuguese (Isabel Nunes).

She asked JK whether R.A.B was a man or a woman, and JK apparently told her not only the gender, but the name of the character.

Regulus Arcturus Black.

"In the past, Nunes has been able to reveal tidbits of information such as the fact that the once-mysterious Blaise Zabini was a male, and that Professor Sinistra was a female teacher. The news is certainly exciting, and this is not the first time that a translation has tried to confirm the identity of R.A.B., but we must stress the fact that this is solely a rumour at this time.

Whilst the source does appear extremely credible, the truth will only come from Jo herself, either through pre-book seven commentary, or through the release of book seven itself. Until then, this revelation (although extremely interesting), should be treated purely as a rumour. We'll keep you updated should we hear more." - HPFZ.

If it's NOT him, I shall be extremely surprised. When I read the initials, SERIOUSLY, the first thing that entered my brain was Regulus. And then I came online people were like "OMG!! What about Regulus Black?" "No way, OMFG I never even thought of him!!11" and I was like... duh... LOL. There are HEAPS of things I never picked up on in the HP books (like I had no idea that Remus was a werewolf in PoA, even though there were SO many clues), but this isn't one of them. I'm so convinced.


So! What do you think this person is still around? Are we going to meet them? Are they alive? Dead? Ghost? Something else?

IN OTHER NEWS. I want a Draco icon. I have a Tom one, but not a Draco one. After much teasing by [livejournal.com profile] buttfacemakani about my Draco love, I have decided that I need a Draco icon. STOP THE TEASING. GIVE ME A DRACO ICON. Or at least recommend one. :D XDDD

Peace,
Rotae

NO I AM RAB, WHEN I MARRY A MAN WITH THE LAST NAME BEGINING WITH B I SHALL BE RAB! (or 'd' would be cool to, then i would be RAD)

But duh, portugese uses masculine and feminine, i bet almost every translator figured out blaise zabini was a male and sinstra was a girl. ;/

LOL. What is with you lately?! You're cracking me up left right and center!! XDDD I love it.

What's scary about Blaise, is that when I drew the Slytherins in 2004, I drew him as a black dude. Seriously. Everyone else had him as this Italian girl or guy, and for my picture, I needed a darker colour, so I was like, "What the hell *shrugs*" and then when HBP came out I totally freaked out.

Draco turned, Tonk/Lupin happened, Snape DADA teacher, DD dead... and omgwtf... HotBlack!BlaiseBoy?! She is stealing my ideas... LOL.

GIVE ME A DRACO ICON. NOW. PLZKTHNXBYE. :D

Peace,

xDD Ah my bad, I didn't know there were new articles up on the whole RAB debocle x)) (sp?) A lot of people had just assumed it was Regulus already, back when the book came out in 2005 ;).

Ah!! Yeah, like I said: "If it's NOT him, I shall be extremely surprised. When I read the initials, SERIOUSLY, the first thing that entered my brain was Regulus. And then I came online people were like "OMG!! What about Regulus Black?" "No way, OMFG I never even thought of him!!11" and I was like... duh... LOL. There are HEAPS of things I never picked up on in the HP books (like I had no idea that Remus was a werewolf in PoA, even though there were SO many clues), that I'll fess up to, but this isn't one of them. I'm so convinced."

No one's posted a Draco icon, Heather... I'm so disappointed... :( *cries*

BUT! OMG. I sent your package today! *dances* It's Air Mail, so I don't know how long it's going to take... 17 days or something like that... :D

Draco icon.... :(

Peace,
