Erin:
Here's a couple paragraphs from Bloomsbury's website:

"Readers across the world will have the opportunity to chat online 
with JK Rowling when she launches the second World Book Day Online 
Festival on Thursday 4th March.

The bestselling author will talk to children about her books, her 
writing and the kind of books she likes to read.  And during the 
chat, JK Rowling will answer twelve special questions from the 
winners of the Festival competition open to all UK schools."  


That sounds to me as if, though she has promised to answer 12 
questions from British schoolchildren, the rest of us have a fair 
crack at it also.  Here are the questions we have so far:

1) Lupin had a bag with Professor R.J. Lupin stamped on it--where
was he a Professor before Hogwarts and what does his middle initial
stand for?

2) Is Godric's Hollow in Wales? 

3) Do the color of Lily's eyes matter specifically, or is it just
that she and Harry have the "same eyes" that matters?

4) Is Andromeda Tonks still alive?

5) In GoF, did Fudge say "I've heard of a curse scar acting as an
alarm bell before," or did he say "I've never heard of a curse scar
acting as an alarm bell before?"

(I need some clarification on this one. My copy clearly says "never 
heard"  Are other copies different or something?  I must have missed 
this question on the main list if so.)

6) How old are Mr. and Mrs. Weasley and Bill and Charlie?

7) Are there any more names in the series that are intentional 
anagrams of anything?

8) Will we ever find out who the Florence was that Bertha Jorkins 
mentioned in the 4th book, or who she was kissing?

9) Will Mark Evans (the ten-year-old Dudley beats up at the beginning 
of OoP) show up in the next book at all?

10) Where does Lupin live when Dumbledore tells Sirius to "lie low at 
Lupin's" during the end of GoF?

11) Any chance Arthur Weasley was a victim of the Imperius curse 
during Voldemort's first rise to power?


So come on, everyone, what else would you like to know???
