26Q. Why did Marcus Flint do an extra year at Hogwarts? A. Either I made a mistake or he failed his exams and repeated a year. I think I prefer Marcus making the mistake. - web.archive.org/web/20070607000041/http://www.jkrowling.com/…– ValorumCommented Mar 20, 2022 at 19:49

3"I had it all planned out from the beginning" doesn't necessarily mean in minute detail... Down that road went George RR Martin, and look how he's getting on with his books...– MooCommented Mar 20, 2022 at 22:42

10There are several questions on this site, asking about the number of students per year in Hogwarts, and the number of wizards in the UK. The answers often quote interviews were Rowling admitted she never really actually considered these numbers, and they might be inconsistent throughout the books. In some books you get an exact list of students, which is extremely short; in other books you get the impression that there are hundreds of students.– StefCommented Mar 21, 2022 at 10:52

1Legend has it she faced many troubles publishing her first Harry Potter novel at the beginning. And it became a sudden sensation after getting published. So it doesn't seem very likely that she had planned all the stories beforehand.– polfosol ఠ_ఠCommented Mar 22, 2022 at 15:52

1@polfosolఠ_ఠ Well of course the book is not going to be a sensation before it is published. That's quite hard to make happen given how publishing works.– TylerHCommented Mar 23, 2022 at 18:40

A tag is a keyword or label that categorizes your question with other, similar questions. Choose one or more (up to 5) tags that will help answerers to find and interpret your question.
Type the name of the science fictional or fantastical work your question is about (Example:
star-wars).For questions not specific to any one work, use concept tags to describe your question (Example:
story-identification).Tagging rules:
- complete the sentence: my question is about...
- use tags that describe things or concepts that are essential, not incidental to your question
- favor using existing popular tags
- read the descriptions that appear below the tag
If your question is primarily about a topic for which you can't find a tag:
- combine multiple words into single-words with hyphens (e.g. story-identification), up to a maximum of 35 characters
- creating new tags is a privilege; if you can't yet create a tag you need, then post this question without it, then ask the community to create it for you
