His commentary reflects his lack of knowledge about the Potterverse in general. Apparently the link is time-sensitive so if you want to read it, do so quickly.

Message-ID: <6a.17a3e016.29414945@...> Just caught the BBC's trailer for some of its Christmas Specials, and in amongst them all was a glimpse of 'Harry Potter & Me'. The show is all about JKR, how she came to write the books, why she wrote the books, how she feels about them now etc. Looks really cool. The actual trailer started with a bunch of kids at an HP party, all dressed as Wizards asking each other HP related questions, one of the boys at the party said "if you got to meet JKR, what would you say to her, how would express what it was you felt.." or something to that effect. Then it moved to scenes of JKR walking down a street, talking, in her kitchen, and best of all, showing us a list of all the children in Harry's year, with symbols next to the names. The symbols represent how magical each one is! So hopefully, the show will feature alot more interesting little items like that. Don't know when exactly it's going to be shown, the Christmas listings may be up on the BBC pages already (I haven't looked yet) they can be found somewhere here: http://www.bbc.co.uk Newspapers, Radio Times, TV Times and such publications, will be running their Christmas & New Year specials in the next week or so, so even if it's not up on the BBC site yet, it won't be too long before we know when to set the video. :o) Sara From joym999 at joym999.yahoo.invalid Sat Dec 8 04:18:26 2001 From: joym999 at joym999.yahoo.invalid (joym999) Date: Sat, 08 Dec 2001 04:18:26 -0000 Subject: Onion article on HP Message-ID: <9us4ai+hutb@...> There is a very funny article in this week's issue of the Onion (a satirical newspaper) on HP: http://www.theonion.com/onion3744/harry_potter_craze.html From dracos_boyfriend at dracos_boyfriend.yahoo.invalid Sun Dec 9 00:18:53 2001 From: dracos_boyfriend at dracos_boyfriend.yahoo.invalid (dracos_boyfriend) Date: Sun, 09 Dec 2001 00:18:53 -0000 Subject: Snitch 8 Message-ID: <9uuald+uh6m@...> Hello The new chapter of Snitch is now up in the files section at ... http://groups.yahoo.com/group/Snitch/ and also at ... http://groups.yahoo.com/group/HP_Paradise/ and will shortly be up at ... http://www.schnoogle.com/authorLinks/Al/ Be aware, newbies and non-slashers, that this story contains non- explicit gay interaction.

Message-ID: <9vg2j6+36pv@...> Hi All! Here in Germany we have a magazine, which tests every-day things such as toys, clothes, cleaning-liquids in households etc. For those living near us, I'm talking about "Oeko-test". they don't test if the toys are good, they just test the colours, the plastic etc. short the material , if it is dangerous and can be incorporated through the skin or the lungs. In the latest issue they tested the HPmerchandise amd it got catastrophic results!! The plastic-merchandise cannot only cause cancer, but can also disturb the hormone-household of a child permanently, with results to growth and other problems.The "nimbus 2000" was considered really dangerous. I don't have the magazine with me( my sister read it to me just half an hour ago), but I'll check up on exactly what they said. As far as I'm told, the socks, the posters and calenders where considered harmless. Again, this magazine is not "anti-HP" They do not test the playing-fun, the resemblance to the books or other features. IMHO their results can be believed. I'll give you more details monday or tuesday, when I can get the magazine myself. -Oh dear, such a long post(sigh) Thanks for listening and sorry for spoiling your HP-christmas-fun Mecki (For those, who don't remeber me- I've been lurking for a while- my english-grammar is not nearly as perfect as I would like it to be- Sorry if it is too disturbing!)

A Percy/Fleur romance...link: http://www.astronomytower.org/authorLinks/Calypso/La_Fleur_de_la_Valle e/ I've also written a short, angsty fic starring Charlie Weasley, titled "It's Not Easy". It takes a look at Charlie in a new light as he contemplates his life while watching a dragon fly away. Written to Five for Fighting's "Superman".
