MuggleNet staffer Andy helps out JKR
Somehow we missed this one earlier today. Among the updates JK Rowling published on her site this morning included an update to the Rubbish Bin. An article that MuggleNet Encyclopedia manager Andy wrote up, supporting Jo's article on teenage girls, has caught the attention of Jo:

I thought of listing all the many characters in the Harry Potter books who are on the plumper side, to demonstrate what a very diverse group of personalities they are, how they include several of my most important, admirable and lovable characters, and how 'overweight' in no way equates to 'bad' in my fictional world... but Andy from Mugglenet has done it for me. Andy, I really owe you, because I've used the time you saved me to type up half a chapter instead!

What an honor for Andy to have helped save Jo some time in writing Book 7! You can check out more of his great work over at the MuggleNet Encyclopedia.

Jo also updated her diary regarding her complaint about not being able to find writing paper in Edinburgh, and the hilarious results.

Posted by CuddleyCannons May 10th 2006

Ahh! This is so cool. Do you think this means JKR checks the site, or someone at her publishers/publicity/etc. told her? I would have to guess the latter, but still VERY COOL!

Posted by ajrome May 10th 2006

WOW!!! thats incredible. especially if you really think about it.... her word choice in that half of the chapter could be different from what she would have written AFTER she had done what andy did for her. so really... andy basically wrote book 7. haha.

Posted by hermione_weasley May 10th 2006

he should put a little note at the beginning of the article and put something like "This article is endorsed by J.K. Rowling" or something like that.
