Não, pelo menos não intencionalmente. Parece que foi demonstrado que a maneira de manter a história é mais intrigante.
JKR tinha planos iniciais para um professor de adivinhação diferente, que teria muito mais talento do que Trelawney teria.
Durante uma conferência de imprensa em 2005: Ela mencionou um personagem chamado < strong> Mopsus (um nome tirado de um antigo vidente grego).
Richard Wheatley for the RNIB - Blind children everywhere are delighted that they can read this book at the same time as sighted people, would you ever include a blind character in one of your Harry Potter books?
JK Rowling: Funny you should say that because at one point there was a blind character who went by the name of Mopsus, and I will let you look him up because there is a mythological connection there, but he sort of that was a very early character and he had the power of second sight, in other words he was a bit like Professor Trelawney, he was a very, very early character, this was when I was drafting Philosopher's Stone, the reason I cut him was he was too good. As the story evolved, if there was somebody who really could do divination at the time that Harry was alive, it greatly diminished the drama of the story because someone out there knew what was going to happen.
So that is why Mopsus went and I have never really replaced him, although I suppose Mad-Eye Moody, had some of Mopsus' characterisation. He has one magical eye because he lost an eye in a fight with a Death Eater, so good question.
Também pode ser que a professora Trelawney tenha sido um pouco mais talentosa do que lhe foi creditada ...
