Potioncat:
I looked. Honest I did. I swear, they've moved it. Somewhere there
is a quote from JKR that acknowledges she believes in God (I can
find that) that her church has been an important part of her life,
(I can find that too) but she goes on to say that if she told us
exactly what she believes, it would give the rest of the HP story
away. (I can't find that part.)
Potioncat who remembers Carol once lamenting that her signing off
lines generated more replies than the main point of her post.(But in
this case, I think it's pretty close.) ;-)
