You all know about the HPB prediction contest thing that's been going on in HPFGU? I've given it some thoughts but for most of the questions I really have no solid idea (some of them I don't care enough to even form an opinion on). So instead of trying to come up with predictions I'm actually just gonna talk about it a bit:

The 'Does JKR want us to hate Draco?' thread was probably one of the longest running Draco discussion (with many otherwisely titled spin-offs) in recent HPFGU history.

While I really doubt this Jo is the real deal ( ( Read more... )

Or else nothing. By the time I realize that a book really isn't what I'd have wanted to read had I known its content, I most likely would've already bought it anyway.
