This is the message as the crawl holds it, before anything here touched it. What the conversation shows has been through ingest: transfer encodings decoded, attachments dropped, quote markers repaired, and the archiver’s ? resolved into quotation marks and dashes. Those repairs are judgements and some of them are wrong, which is what this page is for. Email addresses are obscured here as they are everywhere else on the site, so it is before our repairs rather than byte for byte.

Good stuff. Interesting that no byline is given for the Guardian piece,
though it's told quite personally. There's a fair amount about Pullman on
the web; I printed out some of it when I was thinking about writing about
him.

You non-Yanks might be interested to know that early Harry Potter reviews
are dribbling in (it opens Friday), none of them entirely complimentary. One
complains that the Quidditch game whizzes around so fast that he can't
follow the play. Alan Rickman (Snape) apparently steals every scene he's
in--of course he's good at that, and you need a good Snape.
