> James and Sirius?

Yes she did. It was the Harry Potter Prequel and it was auctioned off for charity last summer. I believe you can find a copy of it on the internet if you look.

> Is it true that a witch or wizard can cast a

> an invisibility cloak?

Yes, a disillusionment charm will create an invisibility cloak, although I'm not sure what the quality of the invisibility cloak would be, or how long the charm would last. It would definitely be better to have The invisbility cloak (the Deathly Hallows one).

> Dumbledore's portrait was in the Headmaster's
> Office. Can his portrait have a conversation with
> someone, or can he just say a few words

I think they could have a whole conversation with someone if that was necessary. Portraits aren't the person they represent themselves but more like an echo of who the person was when they were alive, so whatever they said would be what the alive person would have said in that situation.

>Sirius died in OOTP. Could it have been possible for
> him to become a ghost like Nearly Headless Nick?

Nearly Headless Nick told Harry that it would have been impossible for Sirius to come back as a ghost. I'm not really sure why, because the reasons Nick gives for people becoming ghosts is along the lines of people who are unhappy or who's lives are incomplete. Nick must know something that we do not.

I hope I answered all of your questions thoroughly, thanks for asking!

Thats a nice idea. However, I don't think I'd be able to handle my own website, I don't have a whole lot of knowlegde about creating or maintaining a website.

Actually, I think he was around 88 by the time that Albus was at school. So yes, he was pretty old!

Unfortunately not much is known about Hagrid, other than that he is still at Hogwarts during the time of Harry's children (he invites Albus into his hut) and that he is unmarried.

Yes, I understand about family being allowed for support. However, I meant that I had not read anywhere that it had been a possibility as far as JKR writing that Petunia visited Hogwarts at that time.

Hey Magical.Me. It's me again, Z. I got several questions here:

>What ever happened to Hagrid?

>Is it true that JKR wrote a 800 page book about James and Sirius?

>Is it true that a witch or wizard can cast a Disillusionment Charm on a regular cloak to make it an invisibility cloak?

> Dumbledore's portrait was in the Headmaster's Office. Can his portrait have a conversation with someone, or can he just say a few words

>Sirius died in OOTP. Could it have been possible for him to become a ghost like Nearly Headless Nick?

I know there are a lot of questions, so feel free to take as long as you want to answer them. Also, Regarding Nz's question. Family members were allowed to come to the Tournament. Cedric Diggory's parents came. I'm guessing that it could have been possible to Aunt Petunia to come, but we'll never know for sure.

It's a shame that there isn't more about what happened to Wood.
He's my favorite character.
