The theory in question is so dark she just can't be dealing with it, shutting it down for the benefit of her seven million Twitter followers.

What is the theory you ask? Oh, y'know, just that Fawkes, Dumbledore's phoenix, was the Hogwarts headmaster's very own Horcrux.

Could Dumbledore have crafted a Horcrux when someone accidentally killed his little sister Ariana?
