I'm sure most of you who post here already know this, but JK Rowling has just launched a new website this week.

It can be found at www.jkrowling.com

Lizra · 05-21-2004, 08:19 AM

Thanks! I'll check it out...and see if she agrees with me!

That link you posted was for the boring one, just a link of publishers. The better one is here: http://www.jkrowling.co.uk By the way, the text only is boring, but it's quicker and you don't need flash.
No offense or anything, crickhollow.

I like this website - though my computer's too slow for it

Interesting backstory on Theodore Nott and Dean Thomas. And Ginny's real name is Ginevra

that site was the exact same one crick posted

i couldnt find any differences

***IronParrot*** · 05-25-2004, 05:53 PM

Any thoughts on what she says about the opening chapter of Book 6 being an opening she considered for Philosopher's Stone? A more detailed flashback to what happened the night the Potters were killed, perhaps?

sirigorn · 05-26-2004, 08:51 AM

I dunno... last time I used that link, it was just a list of publishers, like before she changed it to be cool. But now, it's the better site. I'm just confused.... There was a difference. Mine was .co.uk, not .com

Lizra · 05-26-2004, 09:25 AM

So....What's a kneazle (Crookshanks)? and...has anybody gotten that switch to do anything other than change the lighting?

A kneazle... well, they're like cats. Crookshanks is half kneazle. So stuff like being loyal to Hermione, looking kind of weird, and distrustful are all kneazle blood showing.

Lizra · 05-28-2004, 03:47 PM

Thank you Sirigorn

...but could you be a little more specific than "they are like cats"!

Rowling hints that Crookshanks is half kneazle, so I assume it might be catlike.

I guess I should check out that Fantastic Beasts book at the library.

It's funny, I was thoroughly convinced that Crookshanks was the "evil" creature terrorizing poor "good" Scabbers! That was a good one!

sirigorn · 05-29-2004, 08:24 AM

I can't find my copy of Fantastic Beasts, or I would give you a better answer...
I did say more then that they are "like cats". They look kind of strange, with a kinda squashed in head, are really loyal, and can kind of sense dishonesty. I might be a little off... that's all I remember.

Lizra · 05-29-2004, 09:53 AM

Well thanks!

sirigorn · 05-29-2004, 05:15 PM

No problem.
