The word moot is an archaic term meaning "argue, debate, discuss." In early English history, a moot was a meeting to discuss local affairs. Moot comes from the Old English gemot, meaning "meeting."
The entling has been keeping the computer busy, working on a large number of school projects recently. I did not see the reveal of Mary GrandPré's cover for Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows until this a.m.

Harry and Voldemort inside what looks like an arena -- "Two shall enter, one shall leave." (Yeah, maybe Thunderdome wasn't what GrandPré was going for, but the cover is pretty awesome. And the yellow makes it look nearly cheerful, compared to the darkness of most of the other covers.)
I HATE with a fiery passion, the British children's edition cover !! URGH ! It's so funereal... Trouble is, I've got children's editions for the previous 6 books so I'll buy the children's one, but I won't LIKE it !

My daughter said, "it looks like a sunset or sunrise." I like the way she has aged Harry on the covers.
Very cool.
