Essa história de “Rowlinged” de JK Rowling é verdadeira?

27

Há uma história de Stephen Fry vs. JK Rowling que periodicamente se lembra:

Just after the first Harry Potter book had been released, [Fry] was offered the role of narrating it for audiobooks. He hadn’t read it, and was simply told it was a children’s book, so figured it would be an easy afternoon's work. When he met JK Rowling, she mentioned that she was writing a sequel. Stephen replied very condescendingly “good for you”.

A few years down the line, the books are selling well, and he is doing the recording for the Prisoner of Azkaban, when he runs into the phrase “Harry pocketed it”. Stephen could not say this line. It always came out as “Harry pocketeded it”, unless he said it ridiculously slowly. They tried time and time again to get it right, but to no avail. Eventually, he called up JK and asked if he could say “Harry put it in his pocket” instead. She thought for a moment, then said “no”, and hung up.

The phrase “Harry pocketed it” appeared in the next four books.

Se bem me lembro, há um vídeo em que Fry confirma a parte principal disso. A frase final é verdadeira?

ATUALIZAÇÃO: Rowling aparentemente acabou de abordar isso no Twitter.

Good story, but it isn't true! @stephenfry wasn't condescending, he was completely lovely, and that phrase isn't in 4 books! #factsmatter

Quase, mas não exatamente

Livro 4: "Harry o embolsou"

He pulled Sirius’s reply off Pigwidgeon’s leg, Harry pocketed it, and they hurried back to Gryffindor Tower to read it. (Chapter 23)

Livro 5: "embolsado"

Each wore an expression of utmost contempt, yet the unexpected entrance of so many witnesses seemed to have brought them to their senses. Snape pocketed his wand(, turned on his heel)1 and swept back across the kitchen, passing the Weasleys without comment. At the door he looked back. (Chapter 24)

Livro 6: "embolsou"

Not long after this, Hagrid became tearful again and pressed the whole unicorn tail upon Slughorn, who pocketed it with cries of, “To friendship! To generosity! To ten Galleons a hair!” (chapter 22)

Livro 7: Não embolsando: - (

Nota: Enquanto a pergunta estava apenas perguntando sobre a precisão da parte final, deve ser notado que a frase Harry pocket it não é encontrada em lugar nenhum O Prisioneiro de Azkaban , nem para essa matéria é a palavra embolsada .

Bônus: A pedido do OP, estou adicionando uma lista de todos os lugares em que a palavra embolsada pode ser encontrada na Canon Harry Potter.

"Better get the cloak," Ron muttered, as Lee Jordan finally left, stretching and yawning. Harry ran upstairs to their dark dormitory. He putted out the cloak and then his eyes fell on the flute Hagrid had given him for Christmas. He pocketed it to use on Fluffy -- he didn't feel much like singing. (PS16)

"Well, it's not much use to you," said Ron. He dropped his voice. "Fifty points if you can get it through Myrtle's nose."
