Am salivating with unadulterated excitement, Yes! I've read a few lines of the new Potter book! The 'mystery' door opened again at www.JKRowling.com and thanks to major help from www.mugglenet.com I found my way through the barriers in place to read a short paragraph.

The paragraph describes a new character who has a resemblance to Madam Hooch even thought this person is a bloke (could it be Mclagan?). If anyone would like to read the paragraph go to Jo's website (see above) or e-mail me.
