Just some quick HP squee-age, and then I go bed early. *snore*

There was a chat with JKR on Bloomsbury.com in which fans wrote in questions and she answered. AND HOW did she answer. Transcript here, and yes, lots of DH Spoilers. Probably many in the comments, too? Write what you liked, didn't like and all that good stuff - I am curious as to what you think of these details.

Also, here is a lovely series of scenes by seviet from a DH scene with Ron and Hermione.

The Pardoner's Tale! Why did I not notice the Pardoner's Tale?

Thanks for the link. I'm glad she cleared up how the "Memory charm" Hermione said she had never used was a different enchantment from what she put on her parents earlier in the book, which was to make them think they were different people altogether, not to merely forget H was their child.
I liked how she reinforced the recurring theme of mothers doing anything for the children when she speaks of what turned Narcissa. We have Lily, Cissy, and Molly as moms who risked death (and in one case, received it) for their children. Are there others I am missing?
I'm glad she helped settle people's questions about Griphook, the Sword, and the Sorting Hat. I saw the q over and over again, and she answered as I did, so yay. ;-)

Oh, I was glad about the explanation, too, though I am still kind of like, "Hmmm. Okay. Sure." :P

Yes, a mother's love is a most powerful thing, I think. I liked that theme as well.

Sigh. I love facts. I cling to them now that the books are all done.
