Anne:
I remember putting a post in there which speculated about what
creatures could be living in the Forbidden Forest, simply because
there was absolutely nowhere else to put it.

I think if we assume those categories are for location and
characteristics of the geographical location, we'll be all right. 
Typical stuff you'd get in any geography class in real life, right?

Now about sub-categories: is the problem Paul has about multiple
*levels* of subcategories as opposed to sheer numbers of them?  That
is, a category labelled 2.4.2.1.3.1.2 is a problem, but one labelled
2.4.87 is not?

I'm just trying to plan ahead a little before I tackle Harry.  I'll be
finished up with his subcategories today, and I'm trying to think
ahead about how his thousands of main category posts might be divided
up.  So, Harry is 2.4.1, and I'm thinking of new categories on the
level of 2.4.1.x, which is something we already have plenty of anyway
(e.g. all the acronyms).  Useful subdivisions might be Harry vs Snape,
Harry at 4PD, Harry's magical power, Harry's flaws/virtues...

Re Barry's latest post: I've finally figured out what my problem is -
a deficiency of nicotine.  See, I've never bothered to take up smoking.

Albania, Albania
You border on the Adriatic.
Your terrain is mainly mountainous,
And your chief export is chrome.
