That's a very interesting point about Rowling's use/abuse of Calvinist ideas. It is a perversion of those tenets, and I wonder if this is just one more instance of Rowling picking up something that looked shiny to her and using it without really considering the implications and troubling herself to understand it in depth.
I'm so glad you had a good time at Terminus, though! Everything I've heard makes it sound like great fun.
