One question for Rowling

[naama_gat at hotmail.com]

I would ask her the question that originally brought me the HPFGU 
group - why was it necessary to use the Triwizard cup as the portkey 
and not any old object lying arround?

People have come up with very clever hypotheses, but I'm still 
worried that it might be a (HUGE) Flint. I'm still not sure, in my 
own mind, whether the point might not have been missed by her. Do you 
think it's possible that she just didn't think of that?
