I'm disappointed...

HPFGU is losing its edge here.

I typed 'kettle' into the search field, expecting to find a whole 
raft of posts detailing ever more elaborate theories, many of them 
expressed in TBAY style.

Guys, we have *new canon* here.  Grist to our mill.  Fish for our 
kettle.  Mystery for our mystics.

I am referring, of course, to JKR's latest revelation on her website 
that a key element of Book 7 will be the 'Mystic Kettle of 
Nackledirk'.

So, c'mon, sharpen your quills and get your brains - especially 
those you keep where no-one can see - in gear.  What is this 
device?  What does it do?  Is there a connection with the kettle 
Lupin uses to brew tea for Harry in PoA?  Why is Nackledirk *never 
mentioned* in Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them, a work not 
slow to describe the fauna of out-of-the-way spots?

Could it be one of the devices in Dumbledore's office that Harry 
smashes at the end of OOP?

Is Nackledirk an anagram?  If we meet a character in Book 6 called 
Dalek Crink we'll all know what to expect, won't we?

Does the Mystic Kettle stand near any Magic Dishwashers?

Take it away!
