She's updated the FAQ section with several new questions and she has announced the winner of her last poll. She has answered the question regarding Dumbledore's Howler. Here's the text-only link. (http://www.jkrowling.com/textonly/faq_poll.cfm) Also, she has added a new story to her "Rubbish Bin". Quite an entertaining read. And for all we know, there are more easter eggs around the site.


As to the FAQ poll answer, it implies that Dumbledore has had to remind Petunia of her duties more than once. Perhaps there has been some trouble in the past regarding Harry and his aunt that hasn't been revealed yet? Or maybe even involving Dudley? Let the speculation begin.

Every time I go to the site, a day later it updates. This is weird. Maybe I should go tomorrow and make it update again. :D

edit- It's also McGonagall's Birthday, according to the Calendar.

Something kind of funny from her FAQ section:

Q: Will there be two chapters in the sixth book called 'Lupin's Papers' and 'The Lovegoods in Court'?

A: No, that's another pile of Storgé, I'm afraid.

Storgé means bull$*$*$*$*, correct?

Storge is a joke, referring to the original rumored name of the sixth book which was refuted by J.K. with extreme prejudice. I THINK it's actually greek for "family" or some such, but that could have just been part of the rumor as well.

Well nobody posted this yet.

In the top-left corner there's a chart that looks like a family tree. At the top left is Harry/Hermione. Across from there is Ron. Below that is Siruis Black. I can't read the rest. I wonder if it means something.

"Storge" is defined as the love that a parent expresses to a child, mostly used when referring to animals protecting their young. however, the e in the "Pillar of Storge" fake title had an accent mark over it, which can change the whole meaning, and I guess "Pillar of Parental Love" wouldn't look too good on paper...
