Not only that, I misled Cindy by randomly using the word "invasion,"
which the kid never said, either.  

Here's the actual transcript:

O: I hear you and the Harry Potter author, JK Rowlings [sic] (said
raw-lings) are pen pals. Is that true?

Kid: True.

O: And you've been predicting to her what will happen in upcoming books?

Kid: Yes.

O: And that she's written you back.

Kid: Yes.

O: And she says that you are "scarily close."

Kid and audience: [laughs]

O: So what are some of your predictions?

Kid: Well, I just predict.. the next one I heard the title was called
The Order of the Phoenix... so I guess now that Voldemort's back,
crazy things are going to happen.  I think that at some point Muggles
will get into the wizard world.  That'll be a little problem.

So I exaggerated, OK?  Fortunatly, Risti on the main list ventured
into TBAY and corrected things.  All better, right?

--Dicey, who has done her share of gushing over little Daniel, even
though she's triple his age (someday I'll get a grip, I promise! :D)
