There are always the thoughtless who think only of immediate gratification,
unable to realise that anticipation adds flavour to the feast. Plus the types
that are so puffed up with "I know something you don't" that they'll blurt 
out the solution to a whodunnit when they can see you're only halfway into
it. No doubt there've been those of that ilk around HP from the beginning.

But for years they got nothing, despite all their entreaties.
Now it seems to be different.
I don't blame them, I blame Jo.
She's the one that's changing, not them.
