Speculation, Fact and Fiction

I wonder what the Potter Scholars will be gleaning from the pictures and analysis in this article in The Guardian.

I still don't think Harry will die. None of the arguments I've heard or read convince me of that. But I wouldn't be putting money on Snape making it to the end of the book. The question there is, will we be talking hero's death or villain's richly deserved reward?

Fun summer holiday reading ahead there, I reckon.

I was recently interviewed by journalist Gill Oliver for The Oxford Times and the resulting article's now online for the curious/interested.

The print version also had photos, of me and my sons, since quite by chance, the photographer was scheduled on the second of the days when the local schools were closed by snow in February. This has apparently been worth considerable cool points in the playground.
