In the news section, Jo talks about eBay, once again reminding fans of the many autograph forgeries which are being sold there. Quote:
Yes, we've been here before, but having strolled over to eBay (come on, I've got to have a break sometimes) I note that the forgers aren't getting any better at my signature. Frankly, some of them are barely trying. So please bear in mind that these 'certificates of authenticity' are not worth the paper they are written on.
Banned Books Week also gets a mention in the news update. Quote:
Once again, the Harry Potter books feature on this year's list of most-banned books. As this puts me in the company of Harper Lee, Mark Twain, J. D. Salinger, William Golding, John Steinbeck and other writers I revere, I have always taken my annual inclusion on the list as a great honour. "Every burned book enlightens the world." - Ralph Waldo Emerson
In the diary section she talks about the invention of the word horcrux. Quote:
Sitting at my desk trying to invent a word yesterday brought back memories of the last time I did so. I had tried for days and days to hit upon the right name for 'the receptacle in which a Dark wizard has hidden a fragment of his soul for the purposes of attaining immortality.'
Finally, after much transposition of syllables, I scribbled 'Horcrux' on a piece of paper and knew it was The One. But what if somebody had already used it? With some trepidation I typed 'Horcrux' into Google and, to my delight, saw what I was looking for: 'Your search - "Horcrux" - did not match any documents.'
So anyway, yesterday I Googled 'Horcrux' again. 401,000 results. As you might imagine, this gave me something of a lift as I went back to scribbling nonsense words on the back of a takeaway menu.
Jo has also shot down some rumours; Snape wasn't hiding under the invisibility cloak on the night the Potters died, Book 7 won't be called Harry Potter and the Graveyard of Memories and Stubby Boardman isn't Regulus Black.
Last, but not least, another FSA was awarded, this time to Potterish.com.

This one was so difficult. I really wonder what she's planning with the W.O.M.B.A.T.S. in general.

Just completed the test.
It was miles easier than the 1st one which is a bit odd!!!!! I shouldn't have said that, it's a prelude to failure!!!!!!
I got an Outstanding for the 1st one so fingers crossed I'll get another one............

Oo I'm really studying a lot of Harry Potter for this. What happens if you get a high grade? It says there is like Grade 1 and 2. Can anyone tell me how to do Grade 1? Or is it the same way and I was too late to do the Grade 1 test.
