J/K Neil!
I'm Dee, and I along with Rita (Cat Lady) and Simon run the sister club to this, Chatscripts, accessible via the link in the LINKS section. We post the weekly chats there for access to those who can't make them (like me currently, :( due to my dialup!). If you're interested in joining the chats, I know that I'm eastern, and I pop in around 3pm on Sundays to the Yahoo club (via Cheetachat, a wonderful program that helps me record the chat) chatroom.
For more details, check out the other egroup! http://www.egroups.com/files/HPforGrownupsChatScripts/

Hello and welcome to the Harry Potter for Grownups discussion group!
Welcome especially to new members who found out about us from
Salon.com and CNN. In the interests of getting to know you and you
getting to know us as quickly and easily as possible, please read
this message thoroughly. If you have any questions, please contact
the moderators at hpforgrownups-owner at egroups.com.
We're dedicated to in-depth, thought-provoking and fun discussions of
the Harry Potter books, as well as the movies, merchandising and
other aspects of the phenomenon we've come to know and love. While
there is no age requirement to join the group, you should note that
most of our members are over 18. Mature teenagers may enjoy the
group, but may find themselves more at home in a group of their peers.
In any case, we strongly encourage use of proper spelling,
punctuation and grammar in posts, and expect all our members to
observe common sense, courtesy and netiquette at all times. You can
find out more about the netiquette of this club in the Files section
of the eGroups site. The Moderators will also be sending out a
separate netiquette message later this week.
We moved here from Yahoo! Clubs, and have archived the messages from
that service (about 8,000 of them!) at a separate eGroup with a
search feature. You can access them by joining the HPforGrownups-
Archives eGroup -- either send a blank email to HPforGrownups-
Archives-subscribe at egroups.com or visit
http://www.egroups.com/group/HPforGrownups-Archives
We're currently going through "Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire"
on a chapter-by-chapter basis and holding detailed character
discussions on a weekly basis. For a list of the contributors, see
the files section. For details of past discussions, you can use
eGroups' nifty search function.
To help new members get into the swing of things, a team of members
is in the process of compiling an extensive set of substantive FAQs
(Frequently Asked Questions) in essay format, gleaned from past list
postings and covering subjects such as Mysteries and Inconsistencies,
Wands, Wizarding World Governments and major character sketches.
We'll post them as they are completed and notify the group. REALLY
frequently asked questions, such as the order Harry's parents come
out of his wand, the gleam in Dumbledore's eye can be found in the
RFAQ, which is still under construction.
For detailed information on every aspect of the HP books, we highly
recommend the Harry Potter Lexicon, maintained by Steve Vander Ark,
one of our members. It can be found at
http://www.i2k.com/~svderark/lexicon
Please take a few minutes to look through the Files, Database, Links
and Polls sections of the club, where you will find even more HP-
related information.
We're also investigating the possibility of a UK Tour, taking in
sights relevant to HP such as King's Cross, Edinburgh, the Scottish
Highlands and more. Planning has moved to the HPTour eGroup -- to
subscribe, send a blank email to HPTour-subscribe at egroups.com or visit
http://www.egroups.com/group/HPTour
General questions can be directed to the List Owner, Penny
Linsenmayer, at pennylin at swbell.net
