PROGRESS

Pleased to say we have now got to the end of the Yahoo Club posts, 
which finish at 7815. All are now either coded or allocated to 
someone to work on.

As far as I can see 6276 of the posts have actually been coded out of 
the 7815, and of the 6276, 4510 have been rejected. This is a rate of 
71%, which is great from the point of view of sorting out the 
resulting threads later.

We now leave the sheltered waters of the club and set sail for the 
shark-infested waters of Theory Bay...

CATEGORY CHANGES/DECISIONS

SECTION 1
1.3.5 Back history
A new category 1.3.5.1 (Death of Lily & James) has been added to put 
all the discussions of what happened at Godric's Hollow. This is 
because there are several different variations at different places in 
the books, and it makes sense to put all the theories in one place 
(?).

1.4 Characterisation
Both wizard/warlock discussions and handwriting analysis are 
currently being coded here. We may need some sub-categories to cater 
for this.

1.5 Symbolism
A new section 1.5.12 (Numbers) has been added with three sub-
categories: 
1.5.12.1 (Three)
1.5.12.2 (Four)
1.5.12.3 (Thirteen)
to take care of those posts which address things which appear to have 
a numerical significance (eg 13 at the table, repeated groups of 3 or 
4 characters etc)

1.13 Predictions
We shouldn't code anything to either the general category heading 
(1.13) or the general book codes (1.13.1, 1.13.2, 1.13.3, 1.13.4). 
Its important to use the sub-categories (with canon/no canon) and to 
pick a book for the prediction.

SECTION 2
2.8 Other Wizard characters
The following have been added:
2.8.16 Voldemort's mother
2.8.17 Tom Marvolo Riddle (Voldemort's maternal grandfather)

2.10 Muggles
The following have been added:
2.10.5 Mr & Mrs Riddle (Voldemort's paternal grandparents)
2.10.6 Tom Riddle (Voldemort's father)

SECTION 3
3.5 Bloodlines & inheritance
This has been split and 3.5.3.1 (Ancestors/descendants) is now a sub-
category. This should also be used for the discussions about whether 
the changing use of the words in the books was a FLINT or not.

Also, the protection offered to Harry by Privet Drive goes under 
3.5.4 (Blood protection)rather than 3.15.5 (Privet Drive/Little 
Whinging), which is meant as a geography section.

3.8.4 Spells, potions & incantations
Three sub-categories have been added:
3.8.4.3 Priori incantatem
3.8.4.5 Occlumency
3.8.4.6 Legilimency

That's it for this week I think.
