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.

Hurrah for Andy! Let's do this: 1/2 chapter out of approximately 30 chapters is 1.67% of the entire book! That's a good chunk of time that she would have had to 'waste' to defend herself - but Andy saved that time for her. Cheers!

A way for Jo to thank Andy? Email him that half chapter she wrote, for his further submission to us. That way, the rest of us would surely thank Andy to... ;)

go Andy! and did anyone else notice that comment about House Elves in Jo's diary? Sounds like the little buggers will be a good part of the last book, which if true, will lend evidence to several theories of mine....
