Hi.

I finished Other Wizarding Characters and the results are:
Was: 655
Now: 399

I'm not going to give all the stats unless someone asks, but the 
highlights were:

Florence's Acronyms:
Only FLABBERGASTED has posts in it.  There are 2 of them.  1 is the 
acronym itself.  

Flamel took a hit from 82 to 36.  I got rid of posts that only talk 
about what the stone is/was or about alchemy in general.  These are 
coded elsewhere (or have been deleted by those reviewing- I didn't 
add anything).  

Olivander went from 47 to 30.  I removed the wand discussion, as it 
was coded to wands, where it belongs.

Rita had a lot of repitition, so she went from 166 to 80.  She's 
still a meaty category both for speculation and for comments about 
the press.  
Side note:  I found a funny speculation by Magda which suggested that 
the task DD sent Snape on at the end of GoF was to woo Rita and see 
what she knew.  That's why DD had to ask Snape twice if he was ready 
to do such a thing.

Narcissa went from 46 to 25.  Having just finished Draco, I was 
pretty well aware of what was already in the Malfoy Family Dynamics 
section, so knocked out a few more posts than I would have 
otherwise.  Several did make their way to that area.

Teachers' partners went from 40 to 21.  I eliminated ones specificly 
shipping certain teachers as these were already in shipping and/or 
coded to the teachers themselves.  Again I took some liberties 
uncoding shipping as I have reviewed it myself.

Poor old Flo went from 50 to 37 due to repetition.

Everyone else either went down slightly or was unchanged.  

One thing that struck me as odd:  There were a ton of posts about how 
Stan probably didn't go to Hogwarts (or have any education) as he has 
a menial job, but only 2 posts about Ernie Prang saying that.  I 
wonder why people don't ask the same about Ernie?  Did he really seem 
that much more intelligent?

I should add that when I went to put my name by these people in the 
definitions database, they were already listed as Laurasia.  The same 
was true for the minor teachers.  May I assume she did an earlier 
review?  She wasn't listed in the allocations database.  I left it as 
was.

That's it for the other wizards.

I signed up for Beaubatons and Durmstrang next (2.09).

Ginger, who should really be starting a countdown.
