Overall, I thought it was a really excellent chat. Most of the questions that were selected were great.

Some things that I paraphrased as the chat was happening:

There is an apparent contradiction regarding Ron's job:

She first said he was an Auror, along with Harry; now she said he joined George in the Shop. Maybe Ron has two jobs, or maybe, he changed his job, like Ginny. He held first a job in the shop and later he joined Harry at the Auror Department. It seems like the only possible explanation because JKR clearly stated that Harry, Hermione AND Ron revolutionized the Ministry and the Auror Department.

She said before the weekend that she was coming around to Neville/Luna as well, now she says something different. It's weird to think that she isn't certain of Ron's career and Luna's husband...

Yeah, but she didn't say Luna would marry Neville, just that she had warmed up to the idea of it. So I don't think that was really her changing her mind.

The Ron thing is a bit weird, but I don't see why he can't have done both jobs, especially since Ginny and Hermione both did more than one thing. I wish she would have said that clearly, though.

Specially seeing as it's Ron, because you know certain sections of fandom are going to jump on this. I was so pleased that he was working with Harry still :(
