When I checked this Amazon site today, they are still saying "no 
sooner than 2002".  The scholastic website is not giving a specific 
date.  Anyone else finding confirmation on the 11-2001 date?

Hi all, 

Since I've become addicted to Harry and Company I thought I'd start 
yet another list dedicated to all things Potter, hence the name. It's 
open to adults for discussing canon and HP fanfiction.  So just point 
your wands to the link below.

Dear Listmembers,

I hardly need to tell you that Yahoo hasn't been behaving itself over the last few days.  I think we've all experienced very slow access (or no access) to the clubs or ridiculous delays in the transfer of our messages to the list after sending them.  I have no idea what is happening [he said, feebly].  

Lilith and other new members should be assured that this is not typical and that the moderators had nothing to do with these intermittent problems. Let's hope things return to normal as soon as possible....

I imagine you will see this message in about 13 hours time, by which time it may be pointless, but I thought I'd send it anyway.

to fanfic.net (after over a day of misery with the site's being down)

http://www.fanfiction.net/index.fic?action=story

You can also find it (and the other chapters) at 
http://groups.yahoo.com/group/HP_Paradise/files/A%20Surfeit%20of%

I also uploaded a new Homage to Pride & Prejudice at

receives a letter Harry, who is staying at the Burrow, and then, 
Draco arrives...

Every five reviews I get for either story (on either HP_Paradise or 
ffnet) before noon on the 4th will result in the donation of either 
Sorcerer's Stone or Chamber of Secrets to a local children's book 
drive, so review early & often!

Message-ID: <024801c0d555$708e8a20$4c3670c2@c5s910j>

Greetings all,

WELCOME

Welcome to all our recent new members!  You should get a note from one of
our List Elves, and if you have any questions about the club or its
unfathomable rituals, please contact them by rapping on the big oak door
labelled hp4guelves at ....  You can reach the Moderator Team at the
HPfGU Hexquarters: hpforgrownups-owner at yahoogroups.com.


SPAG

No, not related to spam.  Darla referred to a "requirement" for good
spelling and grammar on the list.  Yes, there are references to "strongly
encouraging" this, in our welcome message and elsewhere.  To clarify, this
is aimed at avoiding incomprehensible, hastily-written posts, all in lower
case, with kooky spellings (if U C wot I mean) and no punctuation.  It is
*not* meant to discourage intelligent postings from people or Elves for whom
English not the first language, for example (many of whom write in excellent
English anyway!) or who may make the odd spelling error or typo (we *all* do
that).  The intention is to make posts as easy as possible to read or skim.


NETIQUETTE

A quick wand-poke on a few netiquette points (please see
http://groups.yahoo.com/group/HPforGrownups/files/netiquetteTIPS.htm  for
the full list of netiquette tips)

**Canon-Fanon/Opinions: Rebecca Bohner noted some recent confusion in
relation to Sirius Black's sexiness.  If your opinion relates more to fanon
and is not supported by canon, please strap on the FF prefix or post to OT
Chatter.  Otherwise, please remember to say that it is your opinion,
thought, idea, speculation or wild, lust-filled fantasy.

**Headings: Make sure your message subject heading is appropriate (or at
least present...!) and indicative of the content before hitting send.  If
the thread has changed, please change the heading.  Use the prefixes FF (for
fanfic-related posts), MOVIE (for movie-related posts), SHIP (for
relationshipping posts)  As for fantasy casting: Trying to shoehorn your
favourite actor into the boots of Sirius Black or Remus Lupin?  That goes to
OT Chatter...

**OT posts:  As a rule, anything *not* related to Harry Potter should go to
the OT Chatter list.  On the odd occasion we do post something OT on the
main list, I suggest that we continue to prefix it 'OT', for clarity.
Strongly tangential topics, such as the origins of magic, are okay on the
main list with an OT note, but may have to be moved to OT Chatter if they
drift too widely.

**One line and short posts:  The list was slowed down by the recent Yahoo
gremlin, but when it's at full speed, it gets *very* busy.  With this in
mind, please try to avoid posting short comments or single sentences that
don't really add anything to the debate ("LOL!", "Me too!", "I agree!" etc).
If appropriate, drop someone a note offlist to let them know that your
enjoyed their post, or whatever.

**Responding: Please remember to (a) give some details of the originating
post (including the name of the sender) (b) if the original post was very
long, please refer only to those parts to which you are responding and chop
the rest out.

Thank you, kindly.

I will now cast a 'model behaviour' spell:  "Regulato Observatum..!"  It
doesn't work on everyone, but it's always worth a shot..

Neil

Ever wonder where those scrolls go to when we chat?  What did you miss when
you had to attend your mother's horrible meatloaf meal on last Sunday?  Now
(and all along!) there's a place to view/get the latest Chatscripts,
http://groups.yahoo.com/group/HPforGrownupsChatScripts !

There, you can pick up two of the neatest chat-agents CheetaChat and Y!Chat;
the exe-files are stored in the Files section.  See examples of Simon's
famous Quidditch players macros!  Learn the strange names that the various
folks on this list use--well, except for me.  They haven't caught up with
ALL my names yet! heehee!

Information is available from the group on how to use CheetaChat.  Y!Chat is
still new to moderators and members, but we'll try to help you, if you need
it!

Come, join, and don't miss out on another chat again, even if you can't be
there in body!  The spirits are high, and the snoogles fast and furious!

Besides, if you don't join, I get to POUNCE you!

Dee

cc: Announcements

Amber asked:

<<Out of wild and rabid curiousity, are there anymore HP4GU groups for
geographic regions? I tried a search on YahooGroups but only saw one for
Australia. So, what, only people in Texas and Australia want to meet other
Potter fans? <cheeky grin> >>

Hmmm.  I'm a little worried that Amber may be foaming at the mouth by now...

***

There are two more regional groups associated with this list that I know of:

http://groups.yahoo.com/group/HPFGU-London (next meeting in Greenwich on
26th May)
(also used for Oxford and other places not too far from London)

http://groups.yahoo.com/group/HPFGU-NewYork (meeting in Boston on 12th May
the last time I looked)
(obviously covers Boston and probably Washington areas as well)

Mecki was trying to set up something similar in Germany, but I'm not sure if
that's got off the ground.

***A FEW IDEAS

If anyone else has, or wants to, set up other regional meeting groups,
please check out the Regional Meetings database in our Database section to
see who is on your doorstep.  By the same token, people interested in
meeting up with other HP nutters should consider entering their details
there for all to see:  http://groups.yahoo.com/group/HPforGrownups/database

It's a good idea for one or two willing people to offer themselves as off
list contacts to get an idea of the feasibility of local meetings, before
setting up a list.  Although it's understandable that people will want to
post flyers here initially, for maximum capture, don't forget the
Announcements list http://groups.yahoo.com/group/HPFGU-Announcements for
letting people know if you've set up a new list.  Please use OT Chatter
http://groups.yahoo.com/group/HPFGU-OTChatter rather than the main list if
you want an online forum in the early planning stages.

BTW, I know many of you aren't members of Announcements, but don't forget
that you have the option to join that on webview only and check it, say once
a week or once a month.

Organisers of regional meetings could add details of events to the Calendar
on the main list, so that other members can see what's happening.  If people
are visiting your area from outside, it would be great for them to know if
some HPfGU members are meeting up while they are there:
http://groups.yahoo.com/group/HPforGrownups/calendar

Rather than rely on Yahoo Groups' search facility, I guess we could set up a
separate file of URLs for any regional meeting groups in our Files section,
so that people can see them all in one place.  That could be plugged from
time to time by the Moderators (mainly on Announcements, but occasionally
here).  Watch this space.

If you have any other ideas on regional meetings for this club or want
advice on setting up a sublist, please e-mail Hexquarters at
hpforgrownups-owner at yahoogroups.com

In case any out there is interested, another chapter of the novel-length 
post-Hogwarts fanfiction *Trouble in Paradise* has been posted.

Chapter 9, Lady Marmalade, can be found in either of the following two 
locales:

http://www.fanfiction.net/index.fic?action=story-read&storyid=143632&chapter=9

http://groups.yahoo.com/group/HP_Paradise/files/Trouble%20in%20Paradise/Trouble%20In%20Paradise%209.htm

Make *sure* you read the warnings beforehand.

If you do read, be prepared to sit awhile.  To say that this chapter is long 
is like saying Voldemort has a very mild yet understandable fixation on 
certain teenage boys with scars... and people whose parents are magically 
challenged.  ;-)

Hope you enjoy.  And hey, even if you don't, it's the thought that counts, 
right?  So as Eeyore would say, "thanks for noticin' me".

Best always,

I've reached the home strech with this story, something I didn't think

Subject: ADMIN: OT topics/New Welcome Message (for general information)
Message-ID: <002001c0df0c$27c38320$ad3570c2@c5s910j>

Hi everyone,

Just a quick reminder that OT topics (or threads, once they become OT)
should be posted to our OT Chatter list
(http://groups.yahoo.com/group/HPFGU-OTChatter).  This would apply, for
example, to the most recent posts on private vs state schools, the
international reputation of tripe, Ms, Mrs or Miss etc. (British words), all
of which are now OT.

Also, for general reference, we have revised version the Welcome Message in
the Files section, and that includes a link to pretty much everything you
might need to know
(http://groups.yahoo.com/group/HPforGrownups/files/HPFGUWelcome.htm).  Our
newest members will have been sent a copy of this, but the rest of you won't
have seen it.  Among other things, it includes links to the VFAQ, shorthand
terms and the Portkey to our sister groups.

Magically,

Neil

Message-ID: <029401c0e4c5$86109da0$913670c2@c5s910j>

For those of you who weren't aware, there is a regional list for HPfGU
members in and around the London (UK) area and those planning to visit
London or the UK.  The list is used mainly for planning meetings and giving
advice to people visiting the UK.

We are having a meeting in Greenwich this Saturday, and we would be happy to
see other, new members there.  We'll be taking the sights of historic
Greenwich and, no doubt, chattering madly about Harry Potter.  The list is
at http://groups.yahoo.com/group/HPFGU-London and all the details are posted
to the message board.

Please let us know if you plan to join us, so we don't wander off and leave
you stranded!

Subject: Quidditch on the WB website
Message-ID: <LOBBLGEGEBLNEOFHCDINGELDDJAA.simon.branford@...>

Hello all,

The official Harry Potter website
(http://harrypotter.warnerbros.com/web/home.jsp) has been updated and now
includes a Quidditch Chaser game
(http://harrypotter.warnerbros.com/game/game2_dcr.html) to go along the Beater
one (http://harrypotter.warnerbros.com/game/game1.html) that has been there a
while.

It is quite good fun and I got a respectable 300,000 when playing it earlier.

According to the information there will be Keeper and Seeker games soon as
well. I am looking forward to these - they are good fun to play and good
revision breaks!

If people want to discuss this further then it would be best to do so on
OT-Chatter (website: http://groups.yahoo.com/group/HPFGU-OTChatter and e-mail
HPFGU-OTChatter at yahoogroups.com (that is HPFGU-OTChatter<at>yahoogroups.com)).


Simon (and I have just noticed a major gap in my sig line collection - there
is no Quidditch one)

Please keep your posts to the main HPforGrownups list ON TOPIC. That means
things to do with the books. Personal, off-topic chatter (including "Hi
luvs_harry_1991, it's me, hermoine_iz_grate!"-type remarks) should please be
taken to the HPFGU-OTChatter list (aptly named, eh?), which can be found at

For more information and answers to other frequently-asked questions, read
the Very Frequently-Asked Questions File at

Why? Well, with the volume of the main list, it's a great help to those who
just want to read and reply to the on-topic postings to have off-topic
postings on a separate list. Plus, He-In-The-Hairnet, She-With-The-Baby,

Subject: ADMIN: Viruses - warnings and hoaxes
Message-ID: <00d101c0e990$177240e0$0c3770c2@c5s910j>

Hi everyone,

Computer viruses can be damaging, but it's clear that hoax warnings can be
equally damaging.  Constant vigilance is vital, listlings, but if you wish
to communicate information to the group about a suspected virus, we ask that
you please:

 (1) If possible, check your source and the *possibility* that the virus
warning may be a hoax.  The Symantec website, for example, lists the
SULFNBK.exe warning as a hoax (http://www.symantec.com/avcenter/hoax.html);

 (2) Send any information or concerns you may have to the Moderators
(HPforGrownups-owner at yahoogroups.com).  Please do not post warnings directly
to any of the HPfGU lists.

 (3) Place the life jacket over your head, pull the toggle *here* to inflate
and tie in a double bow at the side.  You can pump in more air by blowing
*here* and there's a whistle *here* for attracting attention...um...ladies:
remove high heeled shoes [er, sorry... shuffling of notes...wrong
instructions]

 ATTACHMENTS

 No, we're not talking about your lit-lust for Severus or Sirius.  For
information, the option that allows attachments to posted messages has been
disabled in OT Chatter and Announcements (it was already turned off on the
main list).  This should lessen the possibility of viral transfer through
members of this group.  We should have done this before, so we will now sit
in a big circle at HPfGU Hexquarters and take it in turns to bang our heads
with John's Rock.

 Thanks

 Neil

Um, everyone?  Normally I don't do this, but I am so intrigued by 
this fanfic by 15-year old writer lone_astronomer that I can't keep 
quiet.

Everyone go read this fic NOW:

The Lion and the Unicorn
http://www.fanfiction.net/index.fic?action=story-read&storyid=289507

It's the first Charlie-centered fic that I feel captures him well.  
Only three chapters are posted thus far, but this writer has the 
makings of excellence.  I haven't enjoyed a non-PoU/Paradise list fic 
this much since... well, never mind how long it's been since.  ;-)

A definite must-read for any die-hard Weasley family fan.

Here be dragons... :)
