The One 'Harry Potter' Question JK Rowling Always Feared

From the very start, JK Rowling had most of her Harry Potter series planned out. The acclaimed author was and still is meticulous about the details surrounding her Wizarding World, including things that never even reached the books. She thought of and had names for just about everything, however there's one thing she always feared that she would be asked.

If you ask Rowling anything about the Harry Potter series, even the smallest element, she could definitely give you an answer and even a backstory. But the question she worried about the most was what Dumbledore's wand was made out of.

Instead of questions about whether or not Harry actually died at the end of Deathly Hallows: Part 2 or why she killed off certain characters, the one about Dumbledore's wand was the most dangerous for the author.

The reason Rowling feared the question was simply because she had already figured out he had the Elder Wand, and if she said that his wand was made of elder wood, fans would've eventually figured out that he would die.

"That would have been quite a telling question," Rowling told Time about Dumbledore's wand. "Because I had this elder thing in my mind, cause elder has this association in folklore, it's the death tree. I thought 'what am I going to say?'"

The question would have given away a crucial moment, but Rowling's fears were put to rest when no one ended up ever asking her about it.

All that worrying on Rowling's part was thankfully for nothing. But years later, her admission just proves she really did have everything planned from an early stage.
