It's amazing how easily stupid people inject their pet issues into completely unrelated topics.

I've been anti Harry snobtard and his amazing upper class pals for ages. I guess J.K. Rowling deserves props for realizing that the public would go for a rehash of 1950s English public school literature just as long as it was changed into a "magic school".Comment

What's upper class about them? I found Harry and his friends, and the books in general, pretty plebeian in their character.

Rowling told the whole story of Beedle the Bard in the 7th Harry Potter book. What's the point of reprinting it seperately? If she wants to go all J. R. Tolkien on us she should do a book or two on the foundation of Hogwart's or the Gremlin wars, or Godric's Hollow or whatever the treaty was which forced wizards to conceal their magic. To do so would require her to learn something about medieval English society, and I'm not sure she's up to that."I say shoot'em all and let God sort it out in the end!Comment

Doc, these are not the story of Beedle himself, but the set of Tales Dumbledore willed to Hermione. You know, the ones that included "Rabbitty Babbitty and her Cackling Stump" or some such.Comment

Also Rowling is working on an encyclopedia which likely will have all the fun stuff about the treaties on Hogwarts and all that.“I give you a new commandment, that you love one another. Just as I have loved you, you also should love one another. By this everyone will know that you are my disciples, if you have love for one another.”
