Mike:

I'll entertain possibilities in a future encyclopedia if she limits 
it her pre-release, backstory notes. But even then, I'm afraid it 
will only show her lack of insight into her own characters. It also 
might expose her as not as deep as we've given her credit. We may 
well find that the parallels, motifs, allegoricals, etc. that we've 
proffered are more than she intended.

Tiffany:

I agree with you here, Mike.  I'm looking forward to seeing the 
encyclopedia, but mostly to see if JKR avoids putting her foot in her 
mouth.  I can't even count all things that I found in DH that didn't 
make any sense at all, esp. with regards to the characters & the 
storylines.  I loved DH a lot, but I think she was trying to get it off 
her chest & if she made a few things wrong, then so be it as long as 
she makes money from it.

Mike:

OK, I'll say it: Ms Rowling, could you please follow Mr. Twain's 
advice and cease speaking up to remove all doubt?!

Tiffany:

That could be easier said than done, some folks have big egos & a 
desire to let themselves be heard.  I'm not one to have a big ego, but 
because of my dramatic & opinionated nature, it's easy for folks to 
think that way of me.
