Lucious Malfoy in the conservatory, with a wand!
A few days ago, I read a post in someone's LJ with "just the dirty bits" of Deathly Hallows (I can't find the link anymore) and since then, any mention of wands sets my inner 12-year-old giggling madly.

JK Rowling is rumoured to be writing a detective novel
I can kind of see that. Well-planted clues and foreshadowing that don't spoil the reveal have been a big part of the Potter series.

Compassionately intolerant
I'm sure JK appreciates being outed by her neighbor's wife. Plus? According to her, (via the A&E biography linked upthread) the writing in cafes/heating story is a falsehood that really bugs her. No macaroni salad for that guy at the neighborhood block party.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.
I have been earwormed with the following for a week now...
You say Petraeus, I say Petronas
You say Petraeus, I say Petronas
Petraeus, Petronas
Petraeus, Petronas
Let's call the whole thing off

Wow, tommyrot just sort of summarized my life, from one angle.
And I can't believe I hadn't made a Patronus/Petronas pun yet.

The Detective novel thing is a joke gone wrong:
"This is a joke that got out of hand," said Rankin, describing how the remark was made on stage during the course of a festival event.
"There were 600 people in the audience, and only one person didn't laugh," he added.

The evil is this way?
"There were 600 people in the audience, and only one person didn't laugh," he added.
And that person went right out and reported it to everyone he or she saw .....
