R: Already I have began to notice serious uses of foreshadowing. It's hard to believe that J.k. Rowling could have written as many cohesive books as she did with out some sort of planning ahead. In only the first chapter she has already mentioned the Put-Outer which if my memory proceeds me was used again by Dumbledore in the final book, but I may be making that up. She also mentions how large Hagrid is which in later stories not only explains is because he is half giant but also makes Hagrids giant relatives a huge part of one of the stories. Dumbledore she also mentions appears almost out of nowhere in the middle of the street. I don't believe that she mentions Apparation until a few books in. One other big bit of foreshadowing is Hagrid riding on Sirius' motorcycle. I remember this vehicle occurring multiple times throughout the series. Also, the mention of Sirius Black in itself, she must have had plans to bring him in as an important character meaning her plans for the third book must have already been laid out. It's nice going back and reading a story to which you now know the final outcome of the series. It has continued to bring back memories of all the other sequential novels and I'm finally realizing J.K. Rowlings true brilliance in creating the novels. I just can't imagine having to lay out seven books worth of writing before even beginning the first. I feel like researching her techniques of outlining the tale is worth looking into.
