Title: RAB
Post by: Robert D on October 27, 2006, 02:19:52 PM
I dont know if anyone has posted on this yet. But i need to know what other people think.......At the end of HbP when Harry and Dumbledore find the Horcruxe and the note to the voldemort from R.A.B who do you think R.A.B is plz let me know

Post by: natato on December 28, 2006, 11:35:35 PM
well i think that Rab stands for Regulus A. Black: )

and the locket that no one could open in the 5 th book at sirius -s house is probably the missing Horcruxe ..

That totally makes sense! But the locket isn't destroyed! Harry is going to have to do it. I bet Granger will be the one who remembers it. :P

Destroying that Horcruxe won't be easy, look at Dumbledore's wand hand for instance. I mean either there was a friggin bad curse on anyone who tried to destroy the ring or the place you had to get it from cursed him. Either way, Dumbledore couldn't escape unscathed and was far ahead of Harry, unfortunately.

I think R.A.B is going to be a character we've meet before.  And I also think that it's Sirius's brother, i think there will be more to his death than was said in the fifth book.  I can't wait for the seventh! ;D

Title: Re: RAB
Post by: natato on April 14, 2007, 06:04:26 AM
i found it on one piczo site and i think that it totally makes sense : )==================================================
R.A.B are the initials of a character mentioned towards the end of Harry Potter and the Half Blood Prince. The initials are found in a message which is in a locket which is, thought to be a Horcrux. The message reads:
          "To the Dark Lord I know I will be dead long before you read this but I want you to know that it was I who discovered your secret. I have stolen the real Horcrux and intend to destroy it as soon as I can.

    I face death in the hope that when you meet your match you will be mortal once more.

    R.A.B."


well after reading this a fair few times and giving it alot of though, 1 name poped into my head: regulus black.


well The letter refers to the 'Dark Lord' rather than Voldemort, or 'he who must not be named'. Only Death Eaters call Voldermort the Dark Lord so this is our first clue that the person is Regulus since he is a Death Eater who ran away.

In the Order of the Phoenix chapter 6, 'the Noble and Most Ancient House of Black' it is mentioned that Sirius, Regulus Brother, had an uncle named Alphard who left 'a decent bit of gold' and,no. 12 Grimmauld Place -the headquarters of the Order of the Phoenix. Using names from relatives is pretty common. even in the book because, Ginnies middle name is Molly (her mothers name), so it's very much possible that the A is his uncles initial passed down.

In the same book a 'heavy locket that none of them could open' is mentioned which is found in 12 Grimmauld Place, it couldn't be opened and was thrown away, but we later learn that Kreacher, the house elf, has stolen the it. Could this be the Horcrux that was replaced by the locket that Dumbledore and Harry found? I couldve kicked myself for not noticing this sooner!



                        ---theory---


"What people don't realise is that Sirius Black is a false name,' says Mrs Purkiss. 'The man people believe to be Sirius Black is actually Stubby Boardman, lead singer of popular singing group The Hobgoblins, who retired from public life after being struck on the ear by a turnip at a concert in Little Norton Church Hall nearly fifteen years ago. I recognised him the moment I saw his picture in the paper. Now, Stubby couldn't possibly have committed those crimes, because on the day in question he happened to be enjoying a romantic candlelit dinner with me. I have written to the Minister for Magic and am expecting him to give Stubby, alias Sirius, a full pardon any day now."

I'm guessing this is a reference to Regulus since we know Sirius was there 'the day in question' (although he IS innocent). Also in another chapter Sirius mentions that Regulus died 15 years previously, which would be the same year Harry's parents were killed, and probably before Sirius was taken to Azkaban. JK doesnt realy mentions anything without some sort of reason so maybe this is some sort of proof that Regulus didn't die and just went into hiding

Good one. It's plausible.
Title: Re: RAB
Post by: Naroto Mashima on April 16, 2007, 08:11:48 AM
That is true, all except the end. It does say that Regulus died. Sirius says that he got murdered BY VOLDEMORT HIMSELF. Which, I believe, is because Voldemort found out that Regulus stole the horocrux, and tortured him for the info. When he figured that Black wouldn't tell him, he disposed of him.

Title: Re: RAB
Post by: Naroto Mashima on April 28, 2007, 02:14:00 AM
The Fifth. It says he was murdered by Voldemort himself... I think. Something like that...

WAIT! Natato was right, it says he didn't think Regulus was even worthy of being murdered by Voldemort or somthing like that...

i have a lot of reasons to!:

1. it was my favorite book in the series.

2. i'm re-reading all of them before deathly hallows comes out so i can be ready.

3. i've read it three times already, why not do it again!

4. i said i have a lot of reasons, so i'm just trying to prove that with this forth reason.

R.A.B stand for Regulas Argus Black. They find out in the 7th book. Kreacher couldn't destroy the horcrux, and Mundungus stole it. Simple  :P
