bamf, a follwer of the boys in blue:

Oops! Sorry about that! My apologies, I got mixed up.
This is what happens when I do too many things at
work.

bamf:

Didn't we also hear about flying carpets being banned,
but there might be a market for them as 'family
vehicals'? (I want to say book 4, but I'm sure someone
will be able to correct me if I'm wrong)

My take on that would be that it reinforces the need
for transport for everyone in the family, regardless
of magical ability.

bamf here:

Hadn't Jo said that there would be no reconcilliation
between the WW and the MW?  Can someone point me to
where I might have read that?

As for making up your mind - isn't it more fun not to?
After all, we are doing a lot of speculation on a
story that's mid-telling.  And istn't that part of the
charm of the story? You really want Harry to live to
see the end of the series, but there is a big concern
that he won't.  If from the begining you know he'd
survive, it would take a lot of the suspence out of
the series.

bamf of the Cubbie blue here who is offended at being
called a SOX fan:

I'm a long time Cubs fan, born to a Cubs fan, but you
have to admit, the Cubs fans have a lot of oddities. 
Blowing up a ball (after giving it a massage and last
meal), sending a goat to an opposing team's stadium to
transfer a curse, bringing a goat to their own stadium
to break a bad luck streak, Harry Carey... Need I say
more? ;)  Hmm... Maybe we should hold an HP book
signing there? Something's gotta break the curse, and
Jo can cast a magical spell with just words, maybe she
can help some 'hometown heros' that are 'loveable
losers' most seasons...

If you want to talk more about the Cubs, contact me
off-list. ;) 

GO CUBS GO!
bamf!
