And a bit of a summary of the online chat that Rowling had with fans Monday.

No spoilers because it relates to the entire series, not just the most recent book or film.

Where the heck are Harry's relatives?

His mom had a sister, Petunia Dursley. She had no other siblings? James was an only child? Their parents had no siblings?

I don't recall any mention of the Death Eaters wiping out Harry's family tree after the death of Moldyvort (take 1), so where are they?

I consider this rather statistically unlikely.

Wow. I did anticipate one thing that happened in the book, but I'm not going into it yet. But thoroughly enjoying it, that's for sure! There are a couple of things that bothered me, but again, not gonna go into them yet, and it'll all be under a cut when I do.

I'm maybe two-thirds through it, Russet will be quite happy if I finish it before I head back to Las Cruces tonight. We read to each other as we drove to and from El Paso yesterday, that was a lot of fun.

Oh, and we saw the movie last week, we both liked it. They did a good job of cutting material to keep the movie at 2.5 hours. And I really like the girl whom they got for Luna Lovegood!

Cute stuff. I agree, a lot of the Potter magic seems rather silly. But man, the big fight in the new movie shows some really cool stuff! Then again, it's obvious that the stuff that they're learning in school is strictly fundamentals except for some of the stuff that Harry learns, like the Patronus.
