AceShowbiz - J. K. Rowling has finally solved some of big mysteries surrounding "Harry Potter" books. As she participated in "Harry Potter Book Night", an event created to introduce new readers to the Wizarding World, the author took to Twitter earlier this week to answer some questions that had been on readers' minds for years.
Rowling decided to respond to only three of numerous questions asked by fans. She first answered a fan's question about how the Horcrux within Harry Potter wasn't destroyed when he was bitten by the basilisk in "Chamber of Secrets".

The next question is related to the fate of Hagrid's three-headed dog from "Sorcerer's Stone", Fluffy. "He was repatriated to Greece. Dumbledore liked to put Hagrid's more foolish acquisitions back where they belong - not the forest," she said.

"A Black ancestor coveted the beautiful house, so 'persuaded' the Muggle occupant to leave & put the appropriate spells on it," she explained.
