Now, can I ask you: are there any special wizarding powers in your world that depend on the wizard using their eyes to do something? Bit like...
Why do you want to know this?
I just vaguely wondered.
Why?
Well because everyone always goes on about how Harry's got Lily Potter's eyes.
Aren't you smart? There is something, maybe, coming about that. I'm going to say no more. Very clever.
And I'm going to ask one other question which you'll say isn't clever at all. The significance of the place where Harry and his parents lived, the first name--
Godric Gryffindor. Very good, you're a bit good you are, aren't you?
Thank you.
I'm impressed. My editor didn't notice, I said to her haven't you noticed any connection between where Harry's parents were born, not born, where they lived, and one of the Hogwarts houses and she's sitting there going erm... I'm not being rude about Emma she's a brilliant editor, the best I've ever [had]. But no she didn't pick that up either. You're a bit good you are.
JKR seemed to suddenly get a bit defensive there, didn't she? So at least one of the crackot theories seems to be on the mark.....the fact that Harry has been described as having Lily's eyes may be important. Or maybe it's just the color green....
Is one more magical if they have green eyes?? Or is it something to do with Lily? And what's the significance of James and Lily living in Godric's Hollow, other than the obvious?
Any ideas?
