what he was...
JKRowlingLive:	I never sat down and wondered 'what shall I write about next?'
FreeWings628:	(7) give a better question
SciNsboy:	(7) cause she can probably turn into a cat.
JKRowlingLive:	it just came, fully formed
JesseKNews:	Here's one from Emily...
FreeWings628:	(7) that ? has been asked a million times
SciNsboy:	(7) I heard this before in a magizen
HarryPotterMom:	(7) she's so sensible

JKRowlingLive:	those goblins are sneaky people
HarryPotterMom:	(7) now THAT is a good questoin
FreeWings628:	(7) yes
CWizard59:	(7) Whoes?Is that a word?
JKRowlingLive:	they manage to put the Muggle money back into circulation
HarryPotterMom:	(7) Jo probably isn't typing for herself
SciNsboy:	(7) She dosn't capitilize or punctuate!
FreeWings628:	(7) good answer
JKRowlingLive:	they are like 'fences' - British slang, do you understand it?
SciNsboy:	(7) No.

SciNsboy:	(7) I think her typer is drunk.
FreeWings628:	(7) OK
FreeWings628:	(7) thanks mom
JesseKNews:	What did James and Lily Potter do when they were alive?
FreeWings628:	(7) good ?
MermaidG:	(7) BORING
SciNsboy:	(7) She already asked one of mine!
HarryPotterMom:	(7) taking stolen money and making it "clean" by putting it
through a business
JKRowlingLive:	well, I can't go into too much detail, because you're going to
find out in future books
FreeWings628:	(7) give my question, where is the mauraders map
MermaidG:	(7) really?
CWizard59:	(7) Good answer, actually
JKRowlingLive:	but James inherited plenty of money, so didn't need a
well-paid profession
JKRowlingLive:	you'll find out more about both Harry's parents later
Sporty1681:	(7) k
MermaidG:	(7) good
FreeWings628:	(7) oh shucks

JKRowlingLive:	obviously
FreeWings628:	(7) yeah
CWizard59:	(7) heh, thanks
FreeWings628:	(7) horray
JKRowlingLive:	but I suspect they might want to put me in Ravenclaw
HarryPotterMom:	(7) my sorter put me in Gryffindor (but I think that's only
cause I have red hair)
MermaidG:	(7) yeah ::sighs, listening to her favoprite authour::
JesseKNews:	Nimbus?
Nimbus2000Live:	Ms. Rowling, where do you come up with those names of the
characters, like Quidditch
FreeWings628:	(7) my second choice
JKRowlingLive:	Quidditch is a name I invented
MermaidG:	(7) hah
JKRowlingLive:	I just wanted a word which began with the letter 'Q'
MermaidG:	(7) that is so kewl
JKRowlingLive:	(I don't know why, it was just a whim)
CWizard59:	(7) Cool
FreeWings628:	(7) very kewl
JKRowlingLive:	many of the names are taken from maps
Sporty1681:	(7) whim???
SciNsboy:	(7) That, was not the answer I expected.
FreeWings628:	(7) interesting
JKRowlingLive:	for instance, Snape, which is an English village
FreeWings628:	(7) wow
MermaidG:	(7) groovy
CWizard59:	(7) Lumos=Latin for light, I think
SciNsboy:	(7) Must suck to live there.
FreeWings628:	(7) amazing
FireboltLive:	Ms. Rowling, have you ever made a map or blueprint of the
school?
MermaidG:	(7) yep
FreeWings628:	(7) funnt LOL
MermaidG:	(7) I am taking latin
MermaidG:	(7) that is light
JKRowlingLive:	no... because all those staircases keep shifting around
JKRowlingLive:	and rooms pop out of nowhere...
FreeWings628:	(7) duh
JKRowlingLive:	and stuff just moves too much...
MermaidG:	(7) keal
MermaidG:	(7) kewl
SciNsboy:	(7) Like THE BATHROOM IN BOOK 4!
JKRowlingLive:	but I have got a notebook that reminds me what floor
everything is on
FreeWings628:	(7) I am in a JK sandwich
HarryPotterMom:	(7) lots of the words are latin :)
JKRowlingLive:	just to keep track
Sporty1681:	(7) I think that is so cool how that happens
JKRowlingLive:	of course, if anything moves, I can blame it on magic, not my
mistakes
FreeWings628:	(7) good
CWizard59:	(7) SOme are in Frence are too
JesseKNews:	J&L asks: What do you think of the people who want to ban your
books?
CWizard59:	(7) names and such
JKRowlingLive:	I think they are......
SciNsboy:	(7) REMEMBER THE BATHROOM THAT VDUMBLEDORE FOUND IN BOOK 4?
JKRowlingLive:	erm.....
JKRowlingLive:	what's a good word?
JKRowlingLive:	misguided
FreeWings628:	(7) ha
JKRowlingLive:	I think these are very moral books
SciNsboy:	(7) dum and stued.
MermaidG:	(7) yes, I do
Sporty1681:	(7) yes they are!!!
FreeWings628:	(7) very right
HarryPotterMom:	(7) completely moral
CWizard59:	(7) unenlighted
JKRowlingLive:	everyone's entitled to their own opinion, but not to impose
their views on others!
CWizard59:	(7) ack, can't spell
SciNsboy:	(7) I'm right, or she's right.
FreeWings628:	(7) everyone in here is going crazy
JesseKNews:	Narri asks: Does the animal one turns into as an animagi reflect
your personality?
FreeWings628:	(7) right on
JKRowlingLive:	very well deduced, Narri!
MermaidG:	(7) my hands are frozen
MermaidG:	(7) 8:13
JKRowlingLive:	I personally would like to think that I would transform into
an otter, which is my
FreeWings628:	(7) mine are sweating
JKRowlingLive:	favourite animal
SciNsboy:	(7) She has answerd two of my questions. Someone else just sent
them in.
JKRowlingLive:	imagine how horrible it would be if I turned out to be a
cockroach
JesseKNews:	Jessica asks: Is it hard being famous?
HarryPotterMom:	(7) I think she's typing for herself <g>
FreeWings628:	(7) yuck
CWizard59:	(7) Which is good
HarryPotterMom:	(7) when she typed ....erm that gave her away
MermaidG:	(7) yea
JKRowlingLive:	Sometimes it's wonderful, like now, when I get to meet lots of
readers
JKRowlingLive:	other times it's hard
HarryPotterMom:	(7) and favourite
SciNsboy:	(7) A cockroack that can type!
MermaidG:	(7) It makes it more personal
HarryPotterMom:	(7) cause erm is a Jo-thing
JKRowlingLive:	when, for instance, journalists come banging on my front door
CWizard59:	(7) paparazzi
JKRowlingLive:	especially when I'm cooking
JesseKNews:	Jasmine asks: When is Hermione's birthday?
FreeWings628:	(7) little does she know the lunatics praising her right now
JKRowlingLive:	Hermione's birthday is September 19th
FreeWings628:	(7) who cares
Sporty1681:	(7) yep
SciNsboy:	(7) I bet you that JK Rowling wears a Hairnet while cooking.
FreeWings628:	(7) ha
Nimbus2000Live:	Did you consider having a GIRL be the main character?
JKRowlingLive:	well, I didn't - purely because Harry came to me as a boy
HarryPotterMom:	(7) I love this question - she answeers this all the time
SciNsboy:	(7) Oh la la.
CWizard59:	(7) Hrm, I think that's kinda biased
FireboltLive:	Ms. Rowling, =stat
JKRowlingLive:	and after I'd been writing about him for a few months, he was
too real to me to change
CWizard59:	(7) I mean the question
JKRowlingLive:	however, Hermione is such a good friend too that I don't feel
I have short-changed girls!
SciNsboy:	(7) Harry could of been Harirty.
FreeWings628:	(7) you lucky dogs, Nimbus and Firebolt
JesseKNews:	There so many people with "Harry Potter" screen names! One asks:
Nodoubtgal2001:	(7) OMG ! My Birthday is September 19th too !
MermaidG:	(7) yes...?
SciNsboy:	(7) Was that anyone in here?
JesseKNews:	Why did Dumbledore have a look of triumph in his eyes at the end
of Book b4?
HarryPotterMom:	(7) i think people ask because there
HarryPotterMom:	(7) are so few books for girls with
HarryPotterMom:	(7) extremely strong lead characters
HarryPotterMom:	(7) (really GREAT books that is)
JKRowlingLive:	good question.... excellent question in fact
JKRowlingLive:	and like all the best questions I get asked
JKRowlingLive:	I can't answer it!
FreeWings628:	(7) oh i love this
JKRowlingLive:	because it would give too much away
FreeWings628:	(7) WHAT
JKRowlingLive:	however, well-spotted
FreeWings628:	(7) i hate it when she does that
JKRowlingLive:	have fun guessing... someone's bound to get it right!
HarryPotterMom:	(7) she's so clever
HarryPotterMom:	(7) I like it, Free
SciNsboy:	(7) Dumbledore is a reincarnation of Voldermorts mother!
JesseKNews:	Samoran asks: Why do some wizards/witches become ghosts and
others don't?
FreeWings628:	(7) OK let me think
CWizard59:	(7) I'm thinking that Dumbledore found a weakness in Voldemort
when he did that=)
JKRowlingLive:	another superb question
HarryPotterMom:	(7) if she told us, it would be disappointing when we read
the next books
FreeWings628:	(7) yeah i hate until I read it and i am so shocked
JKRowlingLive:	and this time I can tell you that you will find out much more
about that in book five
FreeWings628:	(7) cool
FireboltLive:	Ms. Rowling, after the first book, you stopped converting
English words to American words,
CWizard59:	(7) Because they have something pressing to do before they died?
FireboltLive:	is there any reason for this?
CWizard59:	(7) had*
JKRowlingLive:	actually, we didn't stop... but the number of words that were
changed has been
JKRowlingLive:	greatly exaggerated!
HarryPotterMom:	(7) that was a nice tempting answer - she's so good
CWizard59:	(7) Yeah
FreeWings628:	(7) yeah
JKRowlingLive:	we only ever changed a word when it had a different meaning in
'American'
FreeWings628:	(7) everyone is so reverent
HarryPotterMom:	(7) we worship her <g>
FreeWings628:	(7) bows
JKRowlingLive:	for instance, the word 'jumper', which in in England means
'sweater'
CWizard59:	(7) *grovels*
JKRowlingLive:	and here, I believe, is something that only little girls wear!
FreeWings628:	(7) i know that
HarryPotterMom:	(7) ::::kisses her ring::::
JesseKNews:	Jeanie asks: I think the color of Harry's eyes will matter in the
books to come. Yes?
SciNsboy:	(7) I don't. I worhip Miayamoto.
CWizard59:	(7) Him too=)
JKRowlingLive:	Hmmmm..... maybe!
FreeWings628:	(7) cool answer
SciNsboy:	(7) You guys know who he is?
Sporty1681:	(7) nope
Sporty1681:	(7) Ask my question please
CWizard59:	(7) Lemme see...Legend of Zelda stuff?
Nimbus2000Live:	Ms. Rowling, will Voldemort ever die?
FreeWings628:	(7) OK another question
FreeWings628:	(7) good one
Sporty1681:	(7) yep
SciNsboy:	(7) And Mario, and Metroid!
JKRowlingLive:	Do you really really think I will answer that?!
CWizard59:	(7) she porbably won't answer that
Sporty1681:	(7) NO!
JesseKNews:	Another "Harry Potter" asks: Where did James get his Invisibility
Cloak?
SciNsboy:	(7) YES!
FreeWings628:	(7) i didn't think so
FreeWings628:	(7) the store
JKRowlingLive:	That was inherited from his own father - a family heirloom!
MermaidG:	(7) yea....
SciNsboy:	(7) Harry's Dad.
FreeWings628:	(7) even cooler
CWizard59:	(7) And where did -he- get that?
JesseKNews:	ANOTHER "Harry Potter" asks: Does everyone have a little magic in
them?
Sporty1681:	(7) yeah, cause it said in the book that it is hard to find
FreeWings628:	(7) good one
SciNsboy:	(7) Hey C, good question.
JesseKNews:	Even if they are Muggles? And if not, how did Magic start?
JKRowlingLive:	I think we do (outside the books)
JKRowlingLive:	but within my books - do you really think there's any magic in
Uncle Vernon?
Sporty1681:	(7) No!
HarryPotterMom:	(7) not a whit in Uncle V
CWizard59:	(7) Dark Magic, mebbe
JKRowlingLive:	magic is one of those odd talents which some have and some
don't
FreeWings628:	(7) people are so unoriginal, Harry Potter, Harry Potter, AND
Harry Potter
Sporty1681:	(7) yeah
HarryPotterMom:	(7) he's the anti-christ or something
Nimbus2000Live:	Ms. Rowling, what's your favorite spell?
Sporty1681:	(7) good one
JKRowlingLive:	My favourite spell (so far) is 'expecto patronum' - the spell
that conjures the Patronus
FreeWings628:	(7) good one
FreeWings628:	(7) me too
CWizard59:	(7) I like that too
HarryPotterMom:	(7) I like accio
JesseKNews:	From Emily: Is there ever going to be FEMALE Defense Against The
Dark Arts teacher?
CWizard59:	(7) Symbol of light and such
HarryPotterMom:	(7) terribly useful
FreeWings628:	(7) in like furnunculus
FreeWings628:	(7) just the way it sounds
Sporty1681:	(7) yeah!
JKRowlingLive:	Emily, I can exclusively reveal (because I'm feeling guilty
I'm not answering so
CWizard59:	(7) Jelly Legs too=)
JKRowlingLive:	many good questions)
SciNsboy:	(7) My mom would gladly teach it.
HarryPotterMom:	(7) Ohhh say yes Jo

NPetrikov:	(7) Stop talking so much
SciNsboy:	(7) Oh yeah. *Straghtens buzzer tie.*
FreeWings628:	(7) I asked something like that
JKRowlingLive:	well, his temper hasn't exactly improved while he's been away,
has it?
JKRowlingLive:	so I think we can safely say, yes
JesseKNews:	PMM asks: I like the products. Could there be sweater patterns
for us knitters?
FreeWings628:	(7) no
SciNsboy:	(7) So did I! Third question! I'm not lying!
CWizard59:	(7) Being defeated a few dozen times does that to you
JKRowlingLive:	sweater patterns?!!!!

Harry's whole life?
MermaidG:	(7) logs?

JKRowlingLive:	I notice you're very confident that he's not going to die!

FreeWings628:	(7) I can't believe my words are right next to hers

CWizard59:	(7) That's french, I believe
JKRowlingLive:	ah, Narri, you're nearly there... in fact, it means 'flower of
the court'
JKRowlingLive:	like a noblewoman
