Definitely agree with you re: Hagrid and Maxime

Veronica:
My vote on the wife of George: one of Fleur's veela cousins or Alicia
or Katie.

Veronica:
Here's where I disagree: didn't JKR say Neville and Luna would NOT
end up together?  I'd have to say she ends up with Dean.  And I think
Astrology is no longer taught, as an homage to Dumbledore not wanting
it to... but ancient runes would be good.

I think Neville, since for most of his life seems to have suffered
lack of physical affection, due to Gran being so cranky all those
years, needs someone very coddly and sexually-charged... Lavender.

Veronica:
Pretty good.

Veronica:
I don't think they'll get rid of the sorting system, but rather sort
in the third year when the students' have had time to make choices
(and the sorting hat will be privy to this) as well as hone abilities.

Love this!  And I'd like him to convince Winky as well, and maybe
have her bear some little FREE house-elves.

Great job, Katie!  See my notes above.
