I'm finally working on Laurie Notaro's I Love Everybody (And Other Atrocious Lies). There's a chapter on 'The Sims' that almost made me wet myself (and go out and buy 'The Sims'. Which I actually did. Buy 'The Sims'. Not wet myself.)
Well some friends of Buffy played a funny joke and they took her stuff and now she wants us to help get it back from her friends who sleep all day and have no tans.

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."

Wizardnews posts and interesting new entry in the f.a.q. for JK Rowlings official website. (Shamefully, I cannot find where the f.a.q. for the official website is.

Interesting.
Rowling wrote;
Therefore Harry would be considered only 'half' wizard, because of his mother's grandparents.
To which the person managing the site commented:
In this FAQ entry, J.K. is stating, for the first time, that Harry's mother's grandparents were Muggles.[...] By telling us that the Muggle-blood in Harry comes from his great-grandparents, she seems to saying that both of Harry's grandparents, his Mother's parents, were Wizards.
Alternately -- and given that this is Rowling, I don't think this is unlikely -- "his mother's grandparents" could be a mistake for "his grandparents on his mother's side." To me, that fits better with the book's canon. But I tend to speed-read HP, so I may be missing something that fits better with the website maintainer's interpretation.

The interesting thing is that the Wizardnews folks mentioned the whole Dudley could be considered a half-blood thing.

Greece's financial crisis threatens to take down all of Western civilization - a civilization they themselves founded. A rather tragic irony - which is something they also invented. - Jon Stewart
I saw it the way you did, Lyra.
Though a wizard Dudley is amusing...
