There was an interesting quote in the London Times article, of 
director Chris Columbus talking about JKR:

"Sometimes I would ask her something and she would say, 'You can't do 
that because of what happens in book six.' She hadn't written it yet 
and she wasn't going to tell us what it was, but she knew. And you 
could ask her any detail - the colour of a patch on a Quidditch robe, 
or the colour of light that comes from the end of a wand - and she 
knew it."

Does that drive you nuts the way it drives me nuts?  I want to know 
the colour of the patches on the Quidditch robe and the light that 
comes from the wand and what Harry has for breakfast every day and 
whether Lavender Brown has pimples and where Sirius Black was born 
and whether Madam Hooch is married and ALL THE OTHER LITTLE DETAILS 
that JKR has, apparently, already decided on.  Maybe she'll tell us 
after she writes book 7, I hope.  Wasn't there a rumor about JKR 
writing an HP encyclopedia after she finishes with book 7, or is that 
just wishful thinking?
