A very quick sketch of my favourite couple

Actually, one of the great things JKR has achieved with this novel has been, for the first time, to really make Voldemort a credible and frightful villain. Thus far, he had been purely a mask, but his treatment here - especially the dreadful concept that his attempt at immortality depends directly on the murder of others and the mutilation of his own soul - suddenly creates a concept that is wholly odious and worth fighting. Well done, JKR.

(Incidentally, does anyone else beside myself find JKR attractive?)

Sketch by your own hand, I presume, since you were doing comics?
I'm jealous.

As for JKR - she doesn't look bad is quite attracitve, quite British type, if I may say so, but she rather won't turn my head in the street.

Yes, not that it amounts to much. And I HATE drawing characters with glasses - they get so much in the way of drawing my favourite feature, eyes.

As for Joanne, I suspect we have different tastes in women. My ideal beauty is small, gentle but active, exquisitely shaped, with neat features and large eyes, and, for choice, blonde and blue-eyed. Here are two of my absolute all-time enthusiasms, Nicola Cowper and Trine Michelsen:

Whoops... trouble with image size. Well, at any rate, I hope you get my point. JKR, neat, smallish, blonde and with lovely eyes, is just about in the mainstream of my views. (Incidentally, only two of the four women I have fallen in love with at various stages in my life had anything like this kind of looks.)
