So the fun begins
LONDON (Reuters) - Children's author J.K. Rowling has revealed that at least two characters will die in the seventh and final installment of her bestselling Harry Potter series, but was careful not to say who. Children and adults are expected to rush and buy the final Harry Potter novel in their tens of millions when it is complete, and if the publication of the sixth book is anything to go by, secrecy surrounding the plot will be tight. Rowling has already said that the final chapter of the seventh book was written long ago. "The final chapter is hidden away, although it's now changed very slightly," she said in an interview broadcast on Monday on Britain's Channel 4. "One character got a reprieve, but I have to say two die that I didn't intend to die." When asked to be more specific, she added: "No, I'm not going to commit myself, because I don't want the hate mail or anything else." She did explain that she understood an author's desire to kill off the main character of a successful series. "I've never been tempted to kill him (Harry) off before the end of book seven, because I always planned seven books and that's where I want to go. "I can completely understand, however, the mentality of an author who thinks 'Well, I'm going to kill them off because that means there can be no non-author-written sequels ... so it will end with me, and after I'm dead and gone they won't be able to bring back the character'." Rowling, 40, wrote the first Harry Potter adventure when she was an unemployed single mother, but has gone on to become one of the richest authors in history with a personal fortune estimated at more than $1 billion. The Harry Potter series has sold an estimated 300 million copies worldwide.

Letter to the Aunt
This is a letter that I found my 18 month old twin nieces wrote to there Aunt Sarah in California
Dear Aunt Sarah,
Mom and dad abandoned us again at the uncle's house.
They didn't abandon us Savannah he was taking care of us for the day so Dad could sleep and grandma could rest.
You say tomato I say ...look a cookie.
Well Savannah wasn't too happy to be here but the uncle only had to get out the box of crackers and the sippy cups and she forgot all about being left.
Yeah Right Constance you didn't like it at first. But then you got all smiles and growling with him and looking all cute. And you made me look all dumb cuz I didn't keep both my shoes on.
Well some of us Savannah don't drag our feet like wounded buffalo.
You don't even know what a buffalo is Constance.
Yes I do. They have wings and you get them from the hot food places.
Sigh....
Uncle was going to take us out but he said he had a headache and he's stupid but not dumb
I think he just didn't want to be seen in public with you Constance..no hair and chicklet like teeth.
I have hair its just light...and about teeth I can get my way around food just as good as you Jaws.
It's ok here at uncles, we can look out either the big front window or the side window and see people and cars go by. Savannah likes when a loud on goes by we can't hear you big mouth.
What you don't like my singing? Constance
The big people call it screaming and you get odd looks from people. Remember the cop across from uncle's that looked at him when you did it while we watched the people run in front of his house. He took us in real quick after that.
Some people just don't have taste.
They do Savannah but its good...and your singing isn't
We played the day away and uncle kept trying to get us to take naps. He finally said enough and put us in our couch and said don't move for at least 15 minutes. He laid down in his bed and every time one of us would put our head up he would just say "Down".How'd he do that?
Finally Savannah who was full from eating everything in his house fell asleep. I figured why fight it.
When you come to see us maybe you can swim in our pool with us. Savannah can't seem to stand up for more then a few minutes and then falls.She has a lot of padding down there to fall on.
Hush Constance all you like to do is lay in the deep in and splash me.
I'm working on my tan, Savannah.
Tan? You mean burn. They keep putting stuff on you and telling you to put a hat on when you get out it looks like an oil slick.
They keep telling us that we need to talk why we get everything that we want. Besides Constance and I do talk between us...planning stuff
Til later the cute one and her sister.
