Well, we don't live in a perfect world.  I think it's unrealistic to 
think that every single question (and there were alot) would be 
considered a good question by HPFGU's standards.  There are many many 
fans who don't dissect the books to death like we do here. 

 I thought there were very few horrible questions.  If there had only 
been 10, as I originally thought, that would be one thing.  She also 
gave more answers than I thought she would.  

For instance:

"Shannon from St Mary Magdalen's Junior School - London: How do you 
feel when you see children reading your books? *Schools Competition 
Winner*
JK Rowling replies -> I feel incredibly proud. Sometimes I want to 
poke them in the back and say 'guess who?' but I restrain myself."

We didn't learn any new canon here, but I loved the way she answered 
it.  That was not a waste of a question as far as I'm concerned.
