Did Rowling know this?

[Blackboar]

A quote from my new encyclopedia on LotR that I got for christmas!!:D :D :D

Dumbledors- In the playful Hobbit poem "Errantry" a part tells of a ferocious race of winged insects. They are named Dumbledors but nothing more is told of their origin and history.

Do you think she knew this?

[Lief Erikson]

I very highly doubt it :). I'm sure it was coincidence.

[Gwaimir Windgem]

I presume a character from HP is named Dumbledor? I don't read those books ;) Anyway, I would guess that she heard the name, and it was in the back of her head, from whence she drew it out when looking for a name for whatever character.

You started a thread like this elsewhere. Look there to see my response.

[Radagast The Brown]

Why did you started two like these?!? oh, never mind. My response in the other one too.

Having a bit of deja-vu here:)

[Silverstripe]

I guess it's cause ... um, well, I don't know.

*Finds the red pill, because she can't stand not knowing the truth, however painful the truth may be*

Since you already posted this over in the Middle-Earth forum, I'm going to close this.
