FB & QTA.....& HBP/Book 7

[KathyK]

Finished with 1.13 through 1.16.1.  Finally.

Getting the easy part out of the way first, there is nothing coded 
to 1.13 HBP & 1.14 Book 7, as it should be.  

FB Canon Discussion 1.15.1  Was 74, then 88, now 48 with the 
potential of being reduced further.

I was a little lenient with this category for posts placed there 
early on and a couple that would be rejected outright if I take away 
the FB code.  Later on, anything that could be found simply by 
reading the schoolbook or visiting the Lexicon for information, I 
axed 1.15.1.  Mostly these posts were about a particular beast or 
speculated about this or that (ie where the Potter's money came 
from, mentioning the invention of the golden snitch in GH) and had 
little to do with FB.  

Potential further chops:

Club posts 4340 & 4371, & Group 12439

These three posts were written prior to the release of Fantastic 
Beasts and do discuss beasts, some that appear in FB (and 12439 is 
Lexicon Steve considering how to classify creatures on his site).  
They're not discussion of the book, they don't even pull from the 
book because it hadn't been published yet.  There's no general 
category for beasts, right?  Where do these go?  I'm happy to keep 
them or toss 'em.

24528--about what 'dark creatures' are with just a passing mention 
of FB...If I remove 1.15.1 it will still be coded to 3.16.7.6 DADA & 
3.16.7.5 COMC.  Is this sufficient?  'Cause it sure don't belong 
under FB as far as I'm concerned.

25515, 25518, 25525--have to do with 'ghouls' (the Weasley's in 
particular) who appear in FB but do not have their own category.  
It's only 3 posts but if I were looking for past discussions on 
ghouls, I'd be looking for a 'ghoul' category.  For now I'll 
leave 'em here.  

33838--Has to do with Hagrid's obnoxious skrewt experiment.  There's 
two that kind of belong under 'skrewt,' which we currently do not 
have.  33838 will have no category if I remove FB.  I took the code 
off 33919 because it had another category, 3.7.2, attached.  Really, 
though these two belong in a skrewt category.  Putting them with 
Hagrid didn't seem quite right...

QTA 1.16.1 was 34, now 23 posts

Like with 1.15.1 I removed the code from any posts merely mentioning 
the book or discussing other things using quotes from QTA.  I also 
removed it from a few that merely discussed quidditch as 3.6.1, 
History, players, balls & rules, sufficed.  

Best Post in the Categories:

There's a great discussion on whether the two schoolbooks are canon 
that begins with Abigail in 38906.

Off to Group Dynamics next,

KathyK, who was irritated by Cindy's  misspelling 'jobberknoll' 
throughout post 38890 but will somehow get over it
