we were discussing her numbers in the other thread Deadsy Send a noteboard - 12/08/2010 12:49:29 AM
It was brought up by a fan to her that she said there were 1,000 students at hogwarts and it didn't make sense. She said that she was horrible at math and that she agreed that it didn't make sense, because there are only about 5 students per house per year (which comes out to 280 students). So there is a discrepancy.
