Discussion on the main board should be limited to discussion of the Harry Potter books. - If you feel that you ought to label your post "OT," that's a signal that it shouldn't be here. - If an HP thread veers off-topic, please move it to OT Chatter (i.e. if your post is near-OT, add a postscript to invite a continuation on OT Chatter) or, if appropriate, to a private discussion (i.e. if the discussion gets personal or chatty between you and one or two others). SHORT POSTS Because of the high message volume here, we also discourage the posting of one-line or very short posts, especially if they are throwaway remarks or completely OT ("I completely agree! My mother has one of those knitted hats - LOL!") Again, you have the option of posting comments on OT Chatter or off-list, but, if you have some other HP-related things to say, you could also bury remarks in a multiple topic post. Any doubts about the list rules (there are some others), check out this link: http://www.hpfgu.org.uk/netiquette/ ... or drop us a line at hpforgrownwups-owner at yahoogroups.com ~~The listmembers were amazed at the effects of the ADMIN message: "I never knew I could get such a buzz out of reading a bunch of list rules!" said one. "No," said another, "... and I hear that they have something new up their sleeves that will blow all previous administrative files out of the water...". "Really?" said a third, "I feel perfectly dizzy with anticipation."~~ Neil ____________________ Flying Ford Anglia Mechanimagus Moderator From irina at irina_author.yahoo.invalid Mon Feb 4 20:22:43 2002 From: irina at irina_author.yahoo.invalid (irina_author) Date: Mon, 04 Feb 2002 20:22:43 -0000 Subject: Rebirth--Epilogue Message-ID: Hi All!

They join up with Sirius' team and go look for Harry. Will they find him and at what cost? Ah yes. Nasty cliffhanger. But you must be used to these. The shorter version: This chapter only comes to prove that it's easier to put Draco in leather when he's a Death Eater. :) Have fun, and be sure to review.

It is being done alphabetically, Clubs with URLs beginning with numbers or a# have already been converted: http://search.clubs.yahoo.com/search/clubs?p=a1 There are some things to note however. Were receiving reports that photos are *not* being converted, so you are advised to back up your pictures ASAP if you wish to save them. As far as we can tell everything else is being converted ok (members, messages, home page info, colours, bookmarks, etc.) All Clubs are being converted into web-only/anonymous enabled, meaning they allow people to sign up with a hidden e-mail and IP address if they wish. This is not reversible, so converted Clubs will not have polls. It should also be noted that even with the web-only/anonymous option enabled, when signing up the default option for message delivery is set to individual messages by email, so if you suddenly get furious new members asking you why youre flooding them, you know why. Current members are set to whatever they had it set to in the Club. The dates, times and IDs of each message appear to be intact, with the exception of the first message. IP and e-mail addresses are still hidden on old posts like they were in Clubs. Converted Clubs are defaulted to allow non-members to view messages, and every other option is hidden, just like in clubs. The date people joined is publicly displayed in the member list. Currently members dont have access to the invite feature. There are still many more things that need to be discovered, some of which wont be possible until one of our own Clubs is converted, so stay tuned and keep checking in on Club Masters and The Last Line for up to date info. Good luck, we hope your Clubs make it out ok -=Noc & Blue **************************************************** You are receiving this message because you belong to http://clubs.yahoo.com/clubs/clubmasters From katzefan at katzefan.yahoo.invalid Thu Feb 7 07:34:30 2002 From: katzefan at katzefan.yahoo.invalid (katzefan) Date: Thu, 07 Feb 2002 07:34:30 -0000 Subject: HP video Message-ID: HP video and DVD will be released May 28.

The Very Serious UK weekly 'The Economist' has an interesting piece on HP in Japan this week. Apparently the Japanese are not only reading large numbers of JKR's books in translation - they're also devouring them in English. Bestsellers in Europe and the US often do well in Japan too, but usually in translation. Kinokunya, Japan's largest bookstore chain, says that 20% of the 220,000 HP books it sold were in English. Maruzen, another big bookstore, says that sales of most English- language books tail off after the first couple of months, but demand for English HP books is still rising steadily. Educationalists are particularly pleased that thousands of Japanese who let their English slide are now brushing up their vocabulary reading HP. They also buy the audio cassettes to help them pronounce difficult words. Bookshop managers now believe HP is persuading the Japanese to summon up their courage and sample other foreign books. Sounds like magic to me.... Holly.
