    R.A.B does stand for Regulus Black. Read the Book! So don't say what is or what isn't until you've read the entire book!

    Hi

    Did you know a group of Harry Potter fans travelled from Belgium to get the new book in London ? Amazing to think how her books appeal to both adults and children, not many authors can do this !

    Nice lens

    I think Deathly Hallows means something with Godric Hallows, where Harry's Parents lived, and they did die there. So it has a possiblity that Harry will find some interesting artifacts and information there. Also, RAB is not Regulus Black, JK Rowling said herself that it was a good guess but not it.
