It would be really nice, if in the next HP book, SOMETHING HAPPENED. In the last one, a year passed. That's about the long and short of it.
Can we maybe vote on the whole murdering people issue?

We're Literary 2: To Read Makes Our Speaking English Good
There's more to life than watching Buffy the Vampire Slayer! No. Really, there is! Honestly! Here's a place for Buffistas to come and discuss what it is they're reading, their favorite authors and poets. "Geez. Crack a book sometime."

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

What else besides ramen can you scoop? YOU CAN SCOOP THIS WORLD FROM DARKNESS!
In the last one, a year passed. That's about the long and short of it.
You know, ita, I was wondering about that. We were discussing Book 4, and then I tried to think of what actually happened in Book 5, and I couldn't think of much.

Shit's all sorts of different now.
Hey now, there was some surly and pissiness in there.
And Fred and George started their shop.
And then some surly and pissiness.
And then, the end.

Always Anti-fascist!
You know, that's true, ita. I just thought it was me. And I read them all in a big chunk...so it sort of seemed like stuff happened. But in retrospect, nsm.

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset
And Sirius dying, after being turned into a complete asshead who we weren't at all sorry to see go.
But mostly there was TEEN! ANGST!

I don't remember where I saw it, but Rowling's put some FAQs up on her website--oh, People magazine, I think. No particular order and paraphrased.
She'd like people to stop calling Voldemort Voldie, it's disturbing.
No, Voldemort is not Harry's real father, please stop confusing the Potterverse with Star Wars, which people are obviously watching too much of.
No, she won't be writing the adventures of Harry's parents when she's done with the series. See above re: Star Wars.

He he he. Yesterday, I had the passing fancy of Snape being Harry's real father.
