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.

Great work, Andy! You helped Jo save time writing book 7!

Okay...I am restraining myself from saying something extremely negative... I wish Jo would mention me, though! That's so cool... But am I the only one that does NOT like the new comment system???

yay! go Andy and Jo!


Posted by lady_eowyn May 10th 2006

Awesome, Andy! Half a chapter is actually quite some, if there are going to be around 30 chapters like there were in HBP. That's 1/60 of the book :D By the way, that article was the best. I can't criticize it.


Posted by Adeline May 10th 2006

Thats so awesome! Way to go Andy! lol! Half a chapter more is really great! =D

Wowzers, id feel like such royalty to have Jo know my name...let alone admire me...let alone actually MAKING IT POSSIBLE FOR HER TO WRITE BOOK 7!


Posted by slytherinprincess922 May 10th 2006

cool.


Posted by xpotterlisciousx May 10th 2006

Even if Harry Potter was fat, you'd see an artical saying that JK Rowling encourages kids to be fat, so they can be like Harry Potter. Whoever said that JK Rowling discriminates fat people, probably has a fat kid of their own and wanted to boost the kids self esteem. And yeah...that's really cool, how Andy got a direct... like..honour from J...


Posted by mariapuff May 10th 2006
