Btw, who's Laura Mallory?

My first guess would be that she's someone who is publicly against harry potter, possibly because it "promotes witchcraft".

I lol'd at the news. But seriously... it makes so much sense, Jo Rowling should have revealed it ages ago!

Re: Laura Mallory. If you look up Laura Mallory on wiki, you get redirected to "Religious debates over the Harry Potter series"

So far she's tried to have the books banned by her children's school board (because they promote "evil themes, witchcraft, demonic activity, murder, evil blood sacrifice"), has been rejected, appealed to the County School Board and been unanimously rejected, appealed to the Georgia State Board of Education and got rejected again, then appealed to Gwinnett Superior Court, and guess what, she got rejected.
Highlights from the Laura Mallory paragraphs include the following quotes:

Quote:

Mallory also commented that she has not read the book series partially because "they're really very long and I have four kids. I've put a lot of work into what I've studied and read. I think it would be hypocritical for me to read all the books, honestly."

She was aptly named Idiot of the Year in 2006.

That's hillarious :roflol:

Quote:

"Oh, my god," Rowling concluded with a laugh, "the fan fiction".

That pretty much sums it up

Oh I agree!
When I heard about this I was writing infront of the tv with a glass of milk and Sky News blaring in the background of my tunnel visioned mind. I then heard them say something about harry potter and dumbeldore being gay, I kid you not, milk came out of my nose and spewed all over four days worth of writing.
I was laughing my head off to the fact that they would announce Dumbeldore being gay on the news, but soon I was seriously annoyed at myself for messing up all my work

Ah well at least it shows that newtons laws of physics are still working

Judging by the interview it strikes me that she's just trying to arse them off.
Which makes her just as Pathetic as they are.

*Goes back to Fulgrim, where the Bad guys are REALLY bad and the good guys are pretty bad too come to think of it*
None of this black and white morality nonsense.

Which begs the question.
Is the only reason He wasn't expelled because of the Prophecy?

I think it is.
"Oh look. You just flew a FLYING CAR ACROSS THE COUNTRY!.... Go to your rooms with no Tea" :roll:

Well, he was also as good as a bodyguard when Voldemort came around. "Hmm. On the one hand, you crashed a flying car into a tree. On the other, you seem to be pretty good at defeating insanely powerful dark wizards, who seem to crop up at least once a year around here. Well, don't go hitting any more trees, okay?"

There was something else that really bothered me, and I was all ready to march on a crusade about how it was such an embaressingly stupid plot point that Rowling should be forever stricken from the literary world but I can't remember it now...

It was REALLY bad, you understand.

I'd put money on the guys and dolls here totally being able to cripple this stupid plot point

I'm so sad that HP is over. I love all the new fan fiction though.
