Yeah, I kept reading the story despite Jo's continued TERFing. After that thing last year (That was last year, right? My sense of time is a bit screwed, it might have been only earlier this year.) I hoped she'd have educated herself or that someone had done it for her. *sigh*

On one hand I liked that Jo included the orphanage, which clearly made it into the story due to her activism, but one the other hand it makes me worry that she might include her TERF beliefs into future stories.

It took the story a bit to take off (just narrating, no character action) but then the good storytelling came and I got hooked.
Though then it got too dystopian for too long. At least for my taste.
I found it difficult to gauge where in the story I was, how many chapters there would be. Ended up with more chapters than expected.
Towards the end the summarizing narration was back, I didn't like that very much.

Jo is finally releasing that political fairytale that we've been waiting for forever!
 
 
How I feel: excited

I remember reading Jo saying that writing Quidditch was the bane of her life. You can imagine that was a bit of a downer, because I loved reading Quidditch matches. And so it was a nice suprise to get daily Quidditch World Cup updates from Jo on Pottermore. Although detailed matches are more fun than summaries. I hope Germany will win against Wales. I'd be okay with us not winning the Cup, but don't want us to be eliminated in our first match.

Steven Moffat has implied that J.K. Rowling may be writing a 'Doctor Who' 50th Anniversary short...

Yes, please! I need this to happen.

I wonder if I'll like it. And what it will be about. And when it will come out. Ah, what if I don't like it? I want to like it. What I really want is more stuff from Jo that has the things I like about HP.

Jo's website will get a new design :o(. But it was so great with the playful Flash and the info you could collect and the nice background noises. I could still access jkrowling.com/en earlier today, but now it just redirects to the main page. :o(

So I go online, first website I go to is Leaky and the first headline is this:
The (Almost) Case of Doctor Who and JKR

ETA 1: OMG!
You know, being the fangirl I am of both Doctor Who and HP I thought wouldn't it be cool if one day they had Jo on the show? But I wanted it to happen later (probably so late that I wouldn't get to see it anymore. Of course there's the big question: Where's the fun in having an episode you don't know about? *sigh*), the way they had other famous people like Charles Dickens on the show. Played by actors because those famous people are long dead. I wanted it like that for a couple of reasons. I'm worried about Jo's acting skills. Does she have any? ...And does it matter? I mean there are actors in the HP movies who can't act that well. And I don't want it to look like stunt casting.
I'd probably be more happy seeing it happen than not *sigh*. It would be like Christmas! If it was a Christmas episode it would even be like double Christmas! XD

ETA 2: Oh, and you know what? If we get an ep with Jo, I want it to be one with Ten. Because...I don't know. Because I ♥ him. What if I don't like the 11th Doctor? I just can't imagine a better one than Ten. He's a bit crazy and stuff, I love that about him. You know that I suck at describing, especially characters?
Anyway, you know who I'd like to be Eleven? Ruper Grint. A bit young, I know. XD But we need the Doctor to be ginger, no? And imagine we'd get a Jo episode with him. The HP connection would be even cooler.

PS: I can't believe I do not have a crossover icon.
