It's the 16th anniversary of the Battle of Hogwarts. I'm having a moment's silence over my keyboard. I hated killing some of those people.

7. When she showed some love for even the bad guys.
8. When she shut Ross Noble down – in an encouraging, loving way.
A friend of mine sent me this photo of when I was in slitherin house at Hogwarts

To everyone asking whether their religion/belief/non-belief system is represented at Hogwarts: the only people I never imagined there 1/2

14. And then when she gave the most perfect response as to why.
.@GredxForgex Me too! But it's a different concept of magic to the one laid out in the books, so I don't really see how they can co-exist.
— jk_rowling (@J.K. Rowling)
15. When she paid tribute to one of the greats.
