Potioncat:
What I find even more interesting is that her father's name is Peter. I hold Pettigrew in more contempt than I do Riddle--odd she gave him her father's name.

 I would happily read something new from her without any expectations unless it's in the HP world and I would definitely not be interested in reading First War stuff unless James and Sirius weren't in it.  In fact, none of the marauders.  And not Snape.  I'd like to read more about Mrs. Figg.

Potioncat:
I'd probably read her grocery list if she published it (I'd get it from the library)--but I agree about another Potter book. I wouldn't want to read about young Severus or Marauders--or about the epilogue years. if she somehow had a story about someone else withing the Potterverse--maybe.Mrs. Figg is a front runner. And while I'd read it, I'd rather read something completely different.
