in the harry potter books, i read that ron repaired his wand with "spello-tape". i thought this was just a clever name, until i found out there is really a product called "selo-tape" in the UK.

i have both american and english versions of the books, and in the american versions, when the non-magical tape is referenced, it is called "scotch tape". (magical version still called "spello-tape.)

so...i was wondering...when j.k. rowling talks about "gringotts", is there a real bank in the UK with a fairly similar name that she was making a play on words with?

thanks!

I love the book...its arguably my favorite. It is a close tie between The Giver and Alice's Adventures in Wonderland (Alice in Wonderland). What do you think?

My husband is descended from the same line as William Wallace and we are both of Scottish descent. We are expecting a baby and are looking for names. We would like to have a traditonal Scottish name (or Celtic for my Irish descent) and were wondering If William Wallace's real name was William or if it was something else that the English translated to William.

I started writing a novel when I was almost 15 (inspired by events occuring at the time of people in my life). Two years later, I have finished the novel. Although my main intention was to write it for fun and because I thought it an important story, I am now wondering if it would be possible to try and publish it. I have always wanted to be an author, but 16, will anyone take my work seriously? I have not shown the novel to many - although my creative writing teacher read parts and told me I have the most mature style of writing she has ever come across in any student & my characters are so real & raw.

Personally, I've never gotten over the killing of John Lennon.

I think that was the biggest event of the late 20th century. I think John Lennon was entering a renaissance period, and there is no telling how he would have changed rock music and society altogether.

If there was a God, John Lennon would never have been shot.
