Yeah! Like for instance "If Hagrid was a real person and came to your
house, how would you cook him for dinner?" ;-)

Ouch! That's early. Reread the series a few times to get more calm ...

There were definitely a few of the questions that I thought were utterly
indifferent or which had been answered a hundred times before
("advice to a wannabe author" ...)

It's not so much that people ask them - I don't suppose we should
expect kids to ask only questions we would like to know the answers to,
but I certainly think they could have screened the questions better.
