Mark Evans Is....NOBODY! (From JKR's Site)

[Big D]

No: HPFGUIDX 104793

Entropy told us:

> Well, it's official! Mark Evans is nobody important at all. 
> Check out all of the details at JKRowling.com.  Sorry, guys.


And I respond with:

Finally! I got something right!

The endless speculation around Mark Evans was really amusing to me, 
as I had never given his name a second thought until I read all the 
rumors here, but was still convinced that he was no one of 
importance. I'll enjoy being right this once, though I am humbly 
reminded that my record for correct HP predictions to date is about 
1-23058239261805, so...

Kudos to JKR for the absolutely hilarious response to the whole 
thing. 


Pandrea then said:

And then I say:

Much like those who read too much into the last name "Evans", I 
wouldn't read too much into this either. It's certainly possible, 
but I'm not ready to give up my Harry-is-Heir-of-Gryffindor and 
Godric-Gryffindor-is-HBP theories just yet. I'm shooting for two 
correct predictions, woohoo!
