Isn't there a Harry Potter ping list that also might be interested in this "news"?

Good, maybe she'll have to write several more HP books to use up the paper.

Cannot put words to paper to adequately describe the J.K.Rowling scenario...

She was accused of hypocrisy by Simon Walters in the Mail On Sunday, who said overweight characters in her novels, such as Harry Potter's cousin, Dudley Dursley, are portrayed as figures of fun. Oh, how silly! The Dursleys are cartoon characters, and the fact that Dudley and his father are fat is meaningless.
I must say that I think one of the great weaknesses of Rowling's writing is that she mixes these one-dimensional, predictable, no-known-motivation characters with real and complex ones. It makes parts of the books really drag, while you wait for a human being (Harry Potter, Severus Snape, etc.) to show up among the cutout figures.

I don't know; I love all the books and probably should be added to the ping list (Retrokitten, you there?).
I've read all of them, very slowly, to my oldest son out loud at night. Takes us months to go through them, and we relish every bit. I think at the end of the last one, I grabbed it and finished the last 50 pages on my own, and then gave it back to him. :)
The movies are fun, even if the actors are growing twice as fast as the characters (seeing that there is a 2 year rotation of movies).
To: Tax-chick
One of the guys in Malfoy's "gang" is fat, I think, too, and is portrayed as a clumsy dolt.

even if the actors are growing twice as fast as the characters Yes, that was obvious (and funny) in the most recent movie. The young man who plays Neville Longbottom is very tall, now!

Hiya, retrokitten! I am fine. How the heck are you?
I have a day off, which will be spent talking to continuing ed folks and then off to the dentist.
You may have read that we have had a drop or two of rain. We are fine but keep your fingers crossed for families that live in low lying areas.
