Let's go have some Harry Potter fun this time. =)
JKR revealed some more Potter tidbits in her
website.
Q: What did Dumbledore's Howler to Aunt Petunia mean? ('Remember my last'?)
A: Well, it is a relief to move on after the Mark Evans fiasco. This time, two out of the three poll questions had interesting answers (or so I think) and thank goodness you chose one of them.
So: Dumbledore is referring to his last letter, which means, of course, the letter he left upon the Dursleys' doorstep when Harry was one year old. But why then (you may well ask) did he not just say 'remember my letter?' Why did he say my last letter? Why, obviously because there were letters before that…
Now let the speculation begin, and mind you type clearly, I'll be watching…
And she also kindly clarifies the ages of the Weasley children for us:
Bill is two years older than Charlie, who is three years older than Percy, who is two years older than Fred and George, who are two years older than Ron, who is a year older than Ginny. Sorry. Maths is not my strong suit (though it's better than my geography, as those who have found the most recent Easter Eggs might already know).
Righto! If that's the case, then, by the time "Order of the Phoenix" ends... Ginny is 14, Ron is 15, Fred and George are 17, Percy is 19, Charlie is 22, and Bill is 24! Right? Maths is not my strong suit either! LOL. But boy, my initial guess about how old the two eldest Weasley kids are is way off the mark. That means Bill is closer in age to Fleur, so... Heheheheh. ;)
Speaking of Easter Eggs... I've seen the Doxy four times now, I've seen the marble glowing, and I even saw the watch glowing! But I can't seem to be able to click on the marble! GAH! This is the only remaining Easter Egg I've yet to crack. The two new ones: dialling "Peeves" on the cellphone, and breaking the pencil beside the Rubbish Bin link, I've already done. GAH! Damn doxy!
ETA: I finally found it! Yippee! Here's the page I got from "Dragon Breeding for Pleasure and Profit".
Now to see if that glowing watch means anything....
ETAF: Belated Happy Birthday to Professor McGonagall! (October 4). =)
UPDATE: After feeling like a stupid detective on a stakeout, waiting for a suspect to do something incriminating, I just discovered that clicking on the watch when it glows does not produce an Easter Egg. Doggone it. It has to be significant somehow....
