Re: Questions for JKR

[ Edited ]
In JKR's book "Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them" she describes a kneazle as "a small, catlike creature...intelligent,independent...has an uncanny ability to detect unsavory and suspicious characters...can interbreed with cats." There's a little more but I'll let you get the book and read it for yourself. :smileyhappy:

What's a kneazle? Where is that from?

Re: Questions for JKR?

I think the magical world JK has created is just brimming with characters who could take part in a climactic battle, it's the muggle world that is limited. Think of all the magical beings/creatures who could take part in a huge final battle
witches and wizards, squibs,goblins, giants, house elves,trolls,centaurs,dinosaurs,hippogriffs, thestrals, bowtruckles,hinkypucks, grindylows,kappas, red caps,werewolves,unicorns,merpeople,blast-ended screwts...the list goes on and on. What kind of damage could the muggles do-use a gun? One quick Waddiwasi spell, and the bullet would pop right back into the gun-or the bullet could be vanished, transfigured, impedementia'd, wingardium leviosa'd, or the gun could be expelliarmus'd...nope, Muggles wouldn't have a chance.

(Couldn’t you imagine the muggles, in guerrilla warfare, penetrating the death eater’s lair, and using their own types of weaponry to which the death eater's have no defense?) Now that would be unique!
