Kimberley:" I think you're right - the two views don't fit, but I am 
pretty gifted at suspending disbelief, and I don't really have a 
problem with it."

I don't either. I doubt Steve does.

"My backup plan is to just figure as JKR has managed to tell a 
fabulous story with great style and emotion, I'll cut her some slack 
on the details."

I agree completely. Her characters are outstanding and her themes are 
wonderfully sophisticated and subtle. We fans only split hairs like 
this about stuff we *like*.  These stories are good enough that we 
seek every possible morsel and then work it to death.  We all really 
like this world, and we don't want to leave it. Most of us would give 
an arm to visit Hogsmeade and Hogwarts for just one day. 

I might even forget to count heads while I was there.
