OK, well I met her at the launch of GoF at King's Cross in July. 
<SNIP>
she came down to the barriers to answer questions from the press and 
sign a few books - she
signed my cover, and then as she was signing my mate's book, I 
thought it was now or never and just said 'Sirius Black is meant to 
be dead sexy, isn't he?'.  It was so funny - she looked at me as if 
she was pleasantly surprised to see friendly faces in amongst all the 
press hounds - she obviously was expecting questions about the money, 
the next books, yadda yadda yadda, not a fan question - then she 
smiled and said 'Yes.'
