If they'd only let 1, count them 1, trusted fan read the thing and make suggestions, we wouldn't be having a lot of these conversations right now . . .

I wonder if they put the book on trial before publishing it. Do they do that? Or would that lead to leaks?

They do have a woman who's job it is to make sure there aren't mistakes (like the Moaning Myrtle's toilets being different in two books). But I don't think her job includes questioning what content JK puts in or leaves out...

That's why I think it would have to be one very trusted fan. I bet there were any number of us that could have done it. Shoot, I would have read every book and made a set of index cards for notes to have had the pleasure, honor, and then they could have left me sealed in some vault in London until the thing came out.

I would have done it for nothing just knowing it was going to make the book the best book it could be. (at least I think I would have been willing to do it for nothing!)

True -- you start to feel a little sorry for one, like in DH, and they still turn on you.

I'm walking around, going back and forth between chores and the computer... The JK's goblins remind me of those creatures in the movie years back that were fine until they got wet - I think - they were called gremlins... Those goblins were fine until they weren't!

I remember that movie -- there were a couple of movies. Hoyt Axton was the dad -- brought one home from a little shop (of HORRORS). They were a real menace!
