Hi --
Well, we posted 43 official questions from the group. None got
answered. But, someone who's not even read the HP books got a question
in. How's that for fairness?
Blaise & Joywitch & Milz have already summarized the only things of
note.
Overall, I was very disappointed by all the JKR events this week.
Perhaps I put too much time & energy into it, but it was extremely
disappointing to me that the same questions & themes were discussed over
& over & over & over again. I very much believe it was all set-up . . .
just publicity stunts, mainly geared to young kids. Of course, the
scary thing to me is that I couldn't get the chatter noise turned off on
the B&N chat so I was subjected to endless prattle from the young kids
the whole time. They kept thinking they were talking directly to JKR --
didn't get the concept of a moderator at all. Anyway, they kept
"asking" these same questions -- maybe that *is* what the kids care
about (how did you think of HP, why did you want to be a writer, do you
like being a writer, etc. -- the questions the rest of us wish we'd
never hear again).
Off to actually do something productive for my day
Penny
