CHAT TRANSCRIPT OMG YES!

You can find the transcript of her online chat from this morning here: http://www.the-leaky-cauldron.org/extras/JKRWorldBookDay2004.html - Melissa is a goddess and posted it about as soon as it was done!

It includes gems like Hermione, Ginny & Ron's middle names, why she can't say what Snape's Boggart and Patronus are (I'd bet they're both James!), bits about Draco, Sirius, Moody and more!

(And if your're looking for FA's discussion thread, it's right here: http://www.fictionalley.org/fictionalleypark/forums/showthread.php?s=&threadid=56148 )

( My personal favorite bits are (cut for spoilers)... )

( And the bit I am really convinced is a RED HERRING DAMMIT )

( An ode to Leather & Libraries (Draco/Hermione) )

Brilliant analysis!

The B2B (Brain to Bitch) theory makes its first appearance!

Yes, I know, much with the spamming. Sorry.

Q: How old are Charlie and Bill Weasley in relation to their other siblings?

A: Oh dear, maths. Let me think. Bill is two years older than Charlie, who is two years older than Percy.

I think ALL of fandom, regardless of SHIP preference, regardless of who you're friends with and who you find annoying, regardless of when you entered fandom, whether you're on LJ or not, whether you write NC17 or G-rated stuff, is in FULL agreement when we say...

Wha?

And I think we all agree that she should hire sjbranford to walk two paces behind her at all times, and do her maths for her. Think of what she'd save in tips per year!
