I am reading your JP series for the second time and my, I am being blown away again. The first one was so great; Merlin and all that! And Merlin's beard, where did you get inspiration for all that????? Mind-blowing and it CERTAINLY blew me away.......!!

I owe it to the incomparable C. S. Lewis to admit that the ending of JPHEC is a deliberate and willful retelling of the climax of Lewis' fantastic "That Hideous Strength", which is, itself, the culmination of his much more grown-up "Space Trilogy".
Those books are woefully less well-known than his Chronicles of Narnia, but, if anything, even more thought-provoking, engaging, and-- at times-- bone-chilling than anything found in the aforementioned series.
Go check it out!

For the James Potter books, do you keep track of information J.K. Rowling puts up on Pottermore.com regarding the Potter canon (you may have heard that she recently put up quite a bit), or do you prefer to stick to the info outlined in the books, and continue from there? (Sorry about the extreme length of this question)

I can see a lot of Discworld references, they cannot be a coincidence. Do you really like all the Discworld books or just the witches ones (most of the references I noticed are from there - the rude song about hedgehogs I just saw, the voodoo queen making gumbo)? I love your Discworld references because I love Discworld so much. I'm enjoying your books.
