Harry Potter author JK Rowling has created a new section
on her official web site to dispel rumors about her work, family and life.
She rates items on a custom scale of "rubbish-ness" and begins with the recent untrue articles about Professor Lockhart being modeled after her ex-husband.
STARTING TO SMELL:
True in essentials, but exaggerated or distorted
EXCESSIVE ADDITIVES:
Grain of truth obscured by thick crust of inaccuracies
RECYCLED:
Untruth that turns up with monotonous regularity
MOULDY:
Old untruth that resurfaces unexpectedly
PURE GARBAGE:
No idea how this made the papers (occasionally funny, though)
TOXIC:
Hurtful, does damage
Update: The Leaky Cauldron has instructions on how to access certain new hidden features on the site as well.
