 Hi Theresa - why don't you delurk more often??

Actually I read in some interview with him some time ago where he said
that he answers as much of the fan mail as it is humanly possible for
him to do, with some help from the PR department of Warner Brothers. I
find this a little more likely than his parents doing it - the
professionals at WB know how to deal with this sort of thing, and the
only adress known in general is the adress of the Harry Potter
productions at Leavesden studios. He probably doesn't get to read all
the mail, but I suppose they pick out some of it for him to read.

Congratulations - I think it was a very sweet thing to do, and he
probably enjoyed it a lot!!!


So feel proud of your treasure and don't be
