Congratulations, it's a boy!
This is a mini wank, almost not a wank at all, but I thought it was very cuddly all the same. Gave me a giggle, I thought I'd share.

Right. The Leaky Cauldron points to an update of the HPL, where Steve says that the Portugese HP translation team asked JKR about Blaise Zabini's gender, and she herself has just confirmed that he is a boy.

Pretty straightforward so far, but then baby wank erupts in the LC comments.

Anon: now won't all the fanfic authors who have written blaise as a girl feel stupid now? hehehehe

Randy: Can we maybe stop it with the insinuation that all people who thought Blaise was a girl were idiots?

AlbertM Ah. The Portuguese translation team has confirmed it? I reckon that settles it, then. Look! I am rolling my eyes! ;)

So in other words, we have no confirmation. I think Blaise is a wizard. But until Rowling states otherwise by writing "him/her" or having Blaise drop trou then I guess it should remain a mystery, should it not? But if the exalted Portuguese Translation Team says so....

Bridget: Eh. I was actually sort of hoping that it'd be a mystery for ever...one of those things we all love to discuss but will never know the answer to. Meh.

Erica: I agree with Bridget, some mysteries are better left unsolved. The whole thing may have been a minor (some might say stupid)aspect of the HP fandom, but it was one of those little things that made it so fun...And now it's gone. :-(


Okay, probably not that wanky. But funny all the same.
