Harry Potter author JK Rowling has created a new section
on her official web site to dispel rumors about her work, family and life.
She rates items on a custom scale of "rubbish-ness" and begins with the recent untrue articles about Professor Lockhart being modeled after her ex-husband.
STARTING TO SMELL:
True in essentials, but exaggerated or distorted
EXCESSIVE ADDITIVES:
Grain of truth obscured by thick crust of inaccuracies
RECYCLED:
Untruth that turns up with monotonous regularity
MOULDY:
Old untruth that resurfaces unexpectedly
PURE GARBAGE:
No idea how this made the papers (occasionally funny, though)
TOXIC:
Hurtful, does damage
Update: The Leaky Cauldron has instructions on how to access certain new hidden features on the site as well.

Neat idea! I guess JKR got tired of being quoted wrong! It is time to put the record straight. I wondered when the gum wrappers would come into play!

I admire Jo for handling such matters with her usual good grace and killer sense of humor. I just wish she didn't have to deal with it at all. What does it take I wonder?

I accidentally clicked on the broken eggshell...it disappeared with a sparkling sound! That makes me think there's a new bit of potterania somewhere, and that you have to collect items like you had to do with the potion....I can't figure out what else to do...anyone noticed anything??
