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 bookishballerina May 11th 2006

so no need to take up a collection, I guess, MuggleCast...I wonder who sent her the JK Rowling notebooks...


Posted by Mulchie May 11th 2006

GO ANDY! GO ANDY! GO ANDY! He wrote a really well written article and it got really important notes across. It shows that if you support people you will get rewarded for it. I feel really happy for Andy and I'm so happy Jo got another half a chapter on paper, but I hope she doesn't go too fast. I want the Potter Empire to last as long as possible! ...

Posted by sunset03 May 11th 2006

ummm...I think she meant she was just able to TYPE her 1/2 a chapter because remember, she writes on paper. So she had already written the chapter beforehand and had time to type it up.

Posted by hpgeek2 May 11th 2006

Jo said she used the time to "type" up half a chapter...she writes longhand! It reads to me like she is saying she is has finished writing the book and is now typing it up! http://www.hp-lexicon.org/library/ref/intvw/20001020_BarnesNoble.html J.K. Rowling: I write the books longhand, and then I type them onto my laptop myself. That's h...

Posted by BellaLestrange May 11th 2006

Wow, thats awesome. What surprised me most though was the fact that JK even saw the article. I didn't know she surfed her fan sites a lot. I knew she knew about them but....yeah. Congrats to Andy!


Posted by CedricLover125 May 11th 2006

Way to go Andy!


Posted by sleepless May 11th 2006

Congratulations to Andy! That's great that he got this honor. :)


Posted by Hermione4ever May 11th 2006

WOW that is so cool!


Posted by hermy1011 May 11th 2006

I think every HP fan would like little more than to be thanked by JKR for helping her get the books written faster. Andy, you are so lucky, but the thanks was well deserved.


Posted by lumos May 11th 2006

so what do u guys think of the new comment boards?


Posted by Sirius May 11th 2006

Nicely done Andy, that must be pretty cool to be personally recognized by JKR. It looks like your hard work is getting good recognition. And lumos-I think the boards are cool, it makes you want to post more because you have your own name to post under. My only problem is how small the font is.


Posted by Mee May 11th 2006

Very well done, Andy! Helping Jo... wow, that must feel great :)


Posted by peeves_lives May 11th 2006

yay go andy!!! wish i had thought 2 do that :/ neway good job!!!!! :)

Good job Andy! Your article's really cool. :) -aqua


Posted by Chrisell May 11th 2006

I thought Andy's comments were great. Ever since Andy did the Encyclopedia and put the shipping in it, I knew he was great. I'm glad JK appreciates the work that you guys do here.
