That's really stupid. There are bound to be SOME variations between the
secnes., although I've read the formal explanation for the initial usage of
an "easier" word for Americans, and although I usually enjoy reveling
superiority over americans, I am usually only kidding, and I think it's
really some kind of an insult if it's meant for "easier understanding for
americans" . They're not SO stupid.

>No. Could you give a brief summary please ?

Well, there was this OVER enthusiastic interviewer. This was a programme
about books, that is appraantly on every week, I neve watched it before, I
wasn't een wahtving this till I got a phone call from someone who knows I
like HP and had just spoted it.
anyway, this Interviewer guy was over enthusiatic and sounded like this was
the firs ttim e he was meeting a famous author. Most of his Q's were not
interesting, so I hardly remember. I DO remember that they discussed the
"big death" , meaning, the "good" character marked for death in the course
of the new 3 books. She said that most people think it's Ron or Hagrid, and
that she has no idea where they get those ideas. in fact, maybe by saying
that she was in fact implying that they will NOT be the ones? hard to tell.

>>- Spike and Lynda from Press Gang, as well as to Beatrice and
>> Benedik.
>You had to get PG in there somewhere ?? ;-))


:-) I can't HELP it... ;-))

>Because it brings it all alive. can't wait to hear Stephen Fry do GOF !!


Sure. I understand that - I saw Stephen Fry's name on the cassettes when I
was over in England, and really wanted to buy it for myself, but didn't,
because by that time I had spent so much of my money, taht I was starting to
feel guilty... ;-)
what I DID mean is why would you prefer to listen to the cassette inSTEAD of
reading the books? (as the person I commented to implied). that would take
half the point out of it, woduldn't it?

>Oh, yeah I forgot to say welcome to the list from another newbie !!

:-))

You didn't say you were new. But anyway, as oppsed to the PGML, it's nice to
know someone before joining the list. Makes you feel more at home (not that
the people from the PGML didn't - Kevin and Trav make it feel as if you're
one of their distant relatives...;-) ).  Anywya, The good thing I have
observed about thislist is that you actually discuss HP, as opposed to the
PGML, and I suppose also any other lists, who've run out of things to
discuss and so mostly mail Off-topic. On the other hand, if I thought that
getting 20 message a day was a lot - getting 50 a day is a little more
difficult to keep up with. I am now replying to messages from 2 days ago,
and have another 3 digests aehad of me.... ;-) Hope I can keep up.
