H'okai, so. Here's the earth.

I'm a member of this comm on LJ where, like, we talk about whatever, there's no such thing as taboo topics there, but we talk about a lot of fluffy random stuff, too. (Hi Julie, I've seen you there! :D)

So, anyway. Today there was a post asking:

"Have you ever come across a minor character in a story who jumped out at you and caught your notice, despite their minor role and minimal impact on events?"

The first comment made my day:

My personal favorite comes on page 3 of Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone:

"And finally, bird-watchers everywhere have reported that the nation's owls have
been behaving very unusually today. Although owls normally hunt at night and are
hardly ever seen in daylight, there have been hundreds of sightings of these birds
flying in every direction since sunrise. Experts are unable to explain why the owls
have suddenly changed their sleeping pattern." The newscaster allowed himself a
grin. "Most mysterious. And now, over to Jim McGuffin with the weather. Going to be
any more showers of owls tonight, Jim?"

"Well, Ted," said the weatherman...

I'm convinced that is Ted Tonks. Not sure if that's quite what you mean, but yeah. It's what I got.

lol. Ted Tonks is a newscaster for the BBC.
