I would like:

1. A detailed description of the Hufflepuff Common Room and similar 
descriptions of the dormitories.

2. All of her notes, including the rejected ideas.

3. Detailed bios on the characters.

4. The names of the students in the Houses.

5. The background stories of all the Hogwarts ghosts.

6. The catalog of items sold by Fred and George's business.
