I had to do this for a silly thing we do at our weekly staff meetings. The idea is to share knowledge we've picked up over time with our co-workers. Me, I think if you're bagging something you know others might find useful just so you have something to say at the meeting, you're not helping anyone. As such, my "knowledge sharing" is never work

I actually didn't know some of that stuff. And changing Hermione's name? Damn, those studios wanted to really mess with the books.

Anyway thanks for this. Nice to get an update, too. ;)

I'm just surprised they didn't want it relocated to a surfing school in California, where the dress code is Hawaiian shirts and shorts for the boys and bikinis for the girls.

Or, at least, they didn't say that's what they wanted. :)

Wow, dude. I'm pretty hard core about my Potterverse, but I didn't know a few of those things. Hey, in all your research, did you manage to find out when Book 6 will be published? Because I'm wanting to read it, badly.

By the way, that thing at work? That's the kind of initiative that would drive me nuts. Not because I believe in hoarding knowledge, but because it seems like such a corporate contrivance. I'd spend more time figuring out ways to skip out of the meetings than I would learning anything or imparting knowledge. But I'm a different kind of rebel that way. *g*

Not directly, but at her site, Jo ('cause we're close personal friends) said she was still at the stage where she's consulting charts and diagrams to remember where she is in the story and to track what still needs to happen to set up the final book. She also said book six and seven were so intertwined that they're more like part one and part two of the same story. Could be frustrating to finish book six and have to wait two more years for seven.

Anyway, I figure that next spring is probably the earliest it'll be ready. I could, of course, easily be wrong.

But I'm a different kind of rebel that way.Believe me, if I could manufacture ways out of the meetings, I would. Even granting that 90% of all meetings are pointless wastes of time and the other 10% are only 20% as useful as management thinks they are, these
