IIRC, JKR said that Petunia's parents died of natural causes in an interview

You were a wrong baby who grew up wrong. The wrong kind of wrong. It's better you hear it from a friend.

Sometimes I think I might just move up to Vermont, open a bookstore or a vegan restaurant. Adam Schlesinger, z''l
(I'd be interested to see something in the HP Wizarding World that incorporated the Prague Golem, myself.)
I'm almost positive I've seen this.
Yes: [link]
(I didn't read the whole thing. The combination of religious stuff with Harry/Snape was too weird, and I had to close it before my brain exploded. Totally my own issue.)

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.
Oh, that's a great story. But yes, wholeheartedly slashy.

Okay, not the movies thread but I just watched Goblet of Fire. I totally didn't realize that David Tennant was Barty Crouch Jr.

See, that's the thing. I want them to be brown, like Ginny's.
