<snip the excellent summary of chapter 32 from Carole>

Carole: "2. Were you upset by Cedric's death?  Was it gratuitous or vital
to the plot and / or Lord Voldemort's character development?"
It happened in such a sudden and barely noticeable way that I almost missed
the fact he was dead on my first reading. It had no effect on me; the rest
of the chapter had a much larger effect. The death was not gruesome and I
guess it was in to show Voldemort's uncaring for anyone. He happily killed
an innocent, who had nothing to do with his fight.



Carole: "3.  Why didn't Wormtail bleed to death after he cut off his arm?"
He managed to stem the bleeding for a short while before he was rewarded
with the new hand, which magically sealed the wound. Maybe he also out some
sort of anti bleeding spell on the stump.



Carole: "Did you read this chapter verbatim to your kids?  Were they
creeped out?"

What kids? Is someone not telling me something?





Carole: "I hope to have my character summary of Sirius done before I go to
bed tonight (and then go to sleep with siriously happy thoughts...sigh)
For an unabridged interpretation of Sirius' character you can always read
the fanfic I'm writing with Penny, "A Sirius Affair" (just thought I'd slip
that in there...hehehehehhehe)"

You have to write about Sirius. Will it be objective or shall we just start
with the 'Sirius is sexy' line and go from there?

Of course it would have been helpful to put the link to the PoU group in at
this stage. Simon says 'all should go and read A Sirius Affair by Carole
and Penny, available at
http://groups.yahoo.com/group/ParadigmOfUncertainty'. There is this really
cute baby in the latest chapter, someone who you may just recognise!


Apologies to Naama and Steve. Sorry I confused you two in my earlier
message on student numbers.
