she does address this.  Too bad we can't get in touch with her-- she
probably gets tons of letters, she can't read them all.  Maybe  she checks
out this site from time to time--Ha!<<<<<<<


Someone must be monitoring fan discussions and passing on some of the major
concerns to Ms. Rowling.  She specifically answered several minor points of
dispute or curiosity.  Two instances that spring to mind:

1.  The pronunciation of Hermione's name -- taken care of in Goblet of Fire

2.  Harry's stinginess/generosity in the matter of gifts -- also
specifically shown in GoF when Harry's gifts to Ron and Hermione were
featured.
(I don't consider Harry's handing-over of the thousand Galleons to Fred &
George as an act of generosity.  It was really a good solution for what to
do with the prize money he didn't want and didn't feel he deserved.}

I think that if JKR is aware of these points, she'll find a way to work in
the answers to other questions we have, as long as the answers don't
interfere with the natural flow of her pre-planned story lines for Books 5,
6, and 7.

When I am an Evil Overlord....
#218. I will not pick up a glowing ancient artifact
and shout "Its power is now mine!!!" Instead I will
grab some tongs, transfer it to a hazardous materials
container, and transport it back to my lab for study.
