My thoughts are on the issue twofold depending on the outcome.  Number One is to keep the main list open to anything related to Harry Potter & keep OTC open to anything not about Harry Potter, in case only the main list & movies list get combined.  Number Two is in case, OTC does get closed as well as the movies list, then it's best to make the main list open to anyting about Harry Potter, but have the rules clearly state either on the homepage or in the list rules file that no OT posts are allowed.  Any of those 2 options would be perfectly fine with me when the list elves decide on what to do with the groups.
