Next time she does an open web chat, we can all pick questions to ask and submit them for her answering. Please, no questions that have been asked and answered before and nothing that you can find the answer to in the books. There is nothing more frustrating than watching Jo answer questions that people could have the answer to if they had just bothered to look in one of the books or online. I will keep an eye on this thread and compare it against questions that have been asked in prior webchats. If I find a double question, you may find that your post will be edited saying so and the question will be removed from the thread. Let's try and keep On Topic for at least this one Board. We don't want to have to sift through tons of pages to find a question we want to ask. Thanks a lot you guys and have fun coming up with questions!

My Question- Is there more to the veil than we know? Where do the whisperings come from? This post has been edited by sweetsixteen2004: Jul 2 2004, 03:52 PM

The first one has Molly. Lily was a Mudblood/Muggle-Born. But I'm leaving up the second one. It's a good question and it hasn't been answered. :D This post has been edited by WickedWitchOfTheWest: Jul 2 2004, 06:09 PM

If it is a home, is it James' family home? (in the books, it states they were staying there, not living there, so there is a difference). I'll think of more, I'm sure. ;) Answer from Jo: Godric’s Hollow is a village. This post has been edited by WickedWitchOfTheWest: Mar 8 2005, 02:55 PM

"Did Snape have a 'thing' (romantic notions..I think is the word) for Lily when they were at school?" is that a good one? Dij, yours is superb! branching off of it "Does Godric Hollow have anthing to do with Godric Gryffindor?"

"Does Hermione ever spend time with her family? Because for Christmas she stays at school or goes wherever Ron and Harry are, and for the summer she goes, too, to wherever her friends are!!! Dont her parents miss her or something?!"

All purebloods are said to be related thru marriage so technically is Harry related by blood somehow to Draco, Sirius etc?

well, yes, but they cannot be bussy all year long... they have to have some time for their only daughter, dont you think?

and about your question, Ernie Macmillan I pureblood too... and did anyone realised that Draco and Tonk are first cousins?

Newbie HP Fan Group: Members Posts: 75 Joined: 10-July 04 Member No.: 477	i hope these really get asked, because i want some answers. but godric's hollow does have to do with godric grffindor. a lot of you probably know that, but I think JK wants to keep that quiet. i read an interview just today where the interviewer said does godric's hollow have to do with a house founder. he cut him off, said he was clever, and said yes. even her editor didn't notice that, she said.

Yeh, poor Mr and Mrs Granger must barely know their own daughter! Poor folks...its a good question...but one that might be "Oh sorry i thought you knew Hermione wrote to them everyday..." like JK was when someone asked how Harry got the map back.

If not, WHY NOT? Come on people, there are so many opportunities ... Bill/Fleur, Percy/Penelope ... A wedding would be FANTASTIC! Sorry getting a little carried away there.

So I'm going to make a place where people can ask her questions. This is not a chit chat room. So let's see if we can ask some good questions of her and see if she will answer through her web site.

This is the little poem from JK and we all should know by now that the answer is chapters.

QUOTE

One by one we come to life,
The side-by-side we wait
While our company swells in numbers
(Some come esrly, some come late);
And some of us may bore you,
And some of us enthral,
But You cannot choose between us
You must take us one and all.
We'll be bond together tightly
For we're naught if we break free.

So my question to JK is...

'You cannot choose betwee us, you must take us one and all.' Are you saying that I don't need to read the last chapter of the book that I should read them all because it will be a ending that will make me happy?
