Spikesbird Posted July 23, 2005 Share Posted July 23, 2005 Who does everyone think RAB is? I think most people believe it is Regulus 'Alpard' Black. Do you think it could possibly be a nickname for someone rather than an actual name? I thought it it might be Rodolphus and Bellatrix (Lestrange) or even Rabastan Lestrange using the first few letters of his name. I know this is unlikely, as I cannot image why they would want to steal the locket. What does everyone else think? Amanda Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
luvme7754 Posted July 23, 2005 Share Posted July 23, 2005 I think it's the Black guy....cos a really clever person said that's who they think it is.....and they're clever....duh Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Queen_Sindel Posted July 23, 2005 Share Posted July 23, 2005 I thought JKR had already confirmed meanwhile that RAB is indeed Regulus Black? Or was that post on the German newsboard a stupid prank? *goes off to check* Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wiccawise21 Posted July 23, 2005 Share Posted July 23, 2005 im going with regulus. i dont think JK confirmed it as such but when she was asked about it she gave a knowing smaile and said "that is a very good guess. yes a good guess." or something of that effect. its in the mugglenet interview =x= Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Looks like they took that answer as a yes right away. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moony Posted July 23, 2005 Share Posted July 23, 2005 Unless she says yes and confirms it I would never assume yes. I also think it is Regulus at the moment Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Showmasters Admin showmasters Posted July 23, 2005 Showmasters Admin Share Posted July 23, 2005 I think the fact that we've discovered the reference to an unopenable golden locket at Grimmauld Place in OOP makes Sirius' brother the safe bet!

Spikesbird Posted July 24, 2005 Author Share Posted July 24, 2005 I was just thinking that Regulas seems a bit to obvious, although I could be totally wrong! Amanda Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moony Posted July 24, 2005 Share Posted July 24, 2005 perhaps she didn't think we would think that as Regulus was actually only mentioned for him being the pride and joy of the Blacks and was a death eater Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cazzie15 Posted July 25, 2005 Share Posted July 25, 2005 perhaps she didn't think we would think that as Regulus was actually only mentioned for him being the pride and joy of the Blacks and was a death eater without checking bakc i cant be certain of course but i cant rmeember anyone esle ever being mentioned with those initials. so if JK knew this then it would be obvious we would get to this result eventually. However if she didnt realise he was the only one with those initials then maybe she didnt think it was obvious. There may have been someone else mentioned though but so far no one has come up with anyone else Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alondria Posted July 25, 2005 Share Posted July 25, 2005 I've checked on the lexicon and there is no one on there with this initials RAB other than regulus Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
maegurwen Posted July 25, 2005 Share Posted July 25, 2005 uhhu. Plus the fact that in book 5 there was a locket that noone could open ... its got to be reglus..... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Leanne_mk Posted July 25, 2005 Share Posted July 25, 2005 Im inclined to think so too, it does seem obvious! 2 more thoughts for specualtion.... Surely there would have had to have been 2 people to get the locket originally just as Dumbledore took Harry. Also the only reason Harry could get in the boat with Dumbledore is because he was underage and not classed as a wizard otherwise the boat would only take 1 person. That must either mean that whoever accompanied RAB must have been under 17 or a house elf... Kreacher maybe?? Seeing as he was the Black's house elf. This is only if the locket was first taken before Sirius had the house... well it must have been if the locket was already there in OOTP. It kind of makes sense... what does everyone else think??

Legolassie Malfoy Posted July 26, 2005 Share Posted July 26, 2005 The mistress and myself have discussed it and we think its Regulus. I'm not sure how anyone one else would have it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alondria Posted July 26, 2005 Share Posted July 26, 2005 maybe the locket was originally protected in a differnet potion and didn't they only get in the boat together after the inferi had been awakend? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It kind of makes sense... what does everyone else think?? i have been thinking about those things. i figured that there had to have been two people and i think the second person is still alive today in the way that harry is. but i didnt think about the fact that they would have to be underage to share the boat. Using the lexicon regulus was 19 when he died. not very old... but still of age. Kreature might make sense but if its still an age issue for the boat, hes ancient.... unless whoever went with him had brooms? hmmm? any guesses on on the second person? =x= Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vamps! Posted July 27, 2005 Share Posted July 27, 2005 Who said there had to be two people, maybe there was someone strong enough to drink the potion that was there. albus was afterall an old man anyways, what if someone younger than him drunk it? I personally do not think there was ever a younger wizard involved when the original locket was taken. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I personally do not think there was ever a younger wizard involved when the original locket was taken. i suppose you could be right. its so hard to think of DD as a frail old man. he has this elevated position in my mind, one of status... liek if DD couldnt do it.. then no one could. but... liek you said... he was old! but i still like the idea that there was someone else there. it woudl be cool if that person were alive and it adds a bit of mystery to who it might be. =x= Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Leanne_mk Posted July 28, 2005 Share Posted July 28, 2005 (edited) I def think it could have been kreacher... hes not a wizard so maybe thats why he could travel in the boat... plus he is/was the Blacks house elf and would have been under orders to do whatever he was told to do (ie. drink the potion, allowing regulus to get the locket painfree) Regulus obviously knew and had control over Kreacher as he must have lived in Grimmauld place, specially as that was where the locket was found in OOTP... if in fact that was the same locket mentioned.

If that was the case then would Dumbledore already being looking into it? They knew the locket was already at the house, so would it not make common sense that they at least look at that locket first? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
maegurwen Posted July 28, 2005 Share Posted July 28, 2005 the s on the locket could be caked in at least 15 years worth of dust and soot and dirt...that they wouldnt really notice. erm..if they had known that then there would not be no point of the boook being writen like it was. it would totally have ruined the book to have them find it straight away and also make the last book shorter.
