Ginger deadpans:

Well, Geoff, I defer to your excellent knowledge of British 
geography.  You were the one who found Vauxhall Road, after all.

But I think the Nackledirk to which JKR is referring is the one in 
Sweden, near which the Snorkacks are commonly found.  Straight horned 
ones, of course.  The Crumpled horned ones are deep in hiding.  They 
live in Norway near the Quirrel family home.

Obviously Luna and her father are going to play a big role in book 7.

You are correct, though, in assuming that the Kettle of Nackledirk is 
no more a kettle full of nackledirks than the Great Wall of China is 
a hutch for one's good dinnerware.

Ginger, who really posted this as an excuse to offer heartfelt 
congratulations to Lexicon Steve and staff for being named as JKR's 
fansite of the month.  Well deserved!
