Posted by iheartmugglecast Jul 6th 2007

Awesome. I'm loving these interviews with Jo- they give us so much information!


Posted by HP_Luvr Jul 6th 2007

Nice! I love her!!!


Posted by tat Jul 6th 2007

go Jo! 14 days and countin'...


Posted by pickles444 Jul 6th 2007

WOO! 14 DAYS! 13?


Posted by BananaChan Jul 6th 2007

Hmm I'm not sure I want to know how many deaths there are! I think I'll wait and see. adeathlyhallow- I doubt those chapter titles are real, however, if they are: Please respect mugglenet's spoiler policy and do not post them. You could learn a lot about the book from those titles, and not everyone, including myself, wants to know! I'm not a moderator by any means, but please respect your fellow HP fans and help us enjoy book 7 more!


Posted by hpintwense06 Jul 6th 2007

Interview! gonna watch soon!


Posted by tat Jul 6th 2007

adeathlyhallow: hey... we're gettin closer and closer, and whatever it is you're doing, it ain't nice... and no no appreciates it, ok? WE DON'T WANT SPOILERS, so go and post them somewhere else, ok? or AT LEAST warn us at the beggining of your so-called-comment...


Posted by armormew Jul 6th 2007

Go Jo!


Posted by RKRK1313 Jul 6th 2007

i highly doubt that those are the chapters.... its just someone trying to trick people. there is no way that anyone could know. good interview though!


Posted by HP_Luvr Jul 6th 2007

It seemed cut short. :( More than 2 die...boo hoo hoo....


Posted by JeNaN Jul 6th 2007

o.O adeathlyhallow. has no life. and should burn in hell for tryin to ruin the book.


Posted by christianaeg Jul 6th 2007

ADEATHLYHALLOW PLEASE STOP IT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! ! i doubt they're the real chapter titles, they don't sound a lot like jo... but PLEASE STOP! WE DO NOT WANT TO KNOW!!!!!!!!! grrr anyway can't wait for the second pary!


Posted by RyAn2006 Jul 6th 2007

OMG BLOODBATH!! LOL ANY WONDER SHE WAS "DEVESTATED!"


Posted by Miss_Malfoy Jul 6th 2007

I don't think those sound like the chapter titles. I can't see her naming the last chapter simply "The End". o_O. Cool interview! 14 days!


Posted by mzpeaches Jul 6th 2007

can one of the mods please block the moron that keeps putting up the chapters, i don't want others to get spoiled!


Posted by Quidditch_Girl Jul 6th 2007

adeathlyhallow, I really doubt those are the chapter titles. "The end"? " Hogsmeade in christmas"? those are INCREDIBLY fake sounding chapter titles.


Posted by psychobilly Jul 6th 2007

I like the chapter titles. Real or not.


Posted by snottlebie7 Jul 6th 2007

hahaha, that interview cracked me up and 'adeathlyhallow': stop reposting and just leave if your going to leave possible spoilers


Posted by janegallagher Jul 6th 2007

dear god, spoiler posters are pathetic. and the term "blood bath" makes me nervous...


Posted by xopinkribbon Jul 6th 2007

Oh, I absolutely adore Jo! She's pretty amazing. "It's a bloodbath"...hm. What I found somewhat interesting was how they were talking about killed off characters, starting with Cedric, and then she mentioned Dumbledore...could it be significant that she skipped over Sirius which was quite an emotional death, it seemed? I don't know, perhaps I was grasping at straws, trying to find meaning in her every word! And on a completely unrelated note, British television really amuses me, I love it...even if I can only understand what they are saying half the time (I do love british accents!) GO JO!


Posted by Irina Jul 6th 2007

Amazing!!! Jo is so down to earth and lovely. I can't wait for the new book :)


Posted by snapeisgoodtrustme Jul 6th 2007

adeathlyhallow-ur cool.......every1 should just stop tellin him to stop cause thats wat he wants...his 15 min of fame.....we obvivoulsy no these arent the rite titles......at least this person that tried to give out spoilers nos how to spell though


Posted by RKRK1313 Jul 6th 2007

yes i agree the chapter titles sound extremely fake. they do not sound like Jo... nor are they any good at all. They sound like some medieval fantasy novel... like lord of the rings or something.. and clearly harry potter is not going to sound like lord of the rings.


Posted by yues_woman Jul 6th 2007

Bob should so play Slughorn!


Posted by Miss_Malfoy Jul 6th 2007

GoF had 37 chapters. This book, Deathly Hallows, is longer than GoF by quite a bit, but supposedly, according to this guy and his chapter titles, it only has 35. They've got to be fake.


Posted by christianaeg Jul 6th 2007

Mugglenet Mod- please ban adeathlyhallow..... AND STOP REPOSTING THE "TITTLES" sorry if i seem like i'm overreacting but if i read another supposed book 7 spoiler i'm going to hit the roof!! anyway.... "bloodbath"? i gasped at that.... I'm reallly scared now. I think we're going into the double digets with the body cound... i'm scared if what's going to happen..... and i'm gonna sit right here with popcorn (inside joke!) and wait for the 2nd part of the interview!


Posted by lovexlaugh_potter Jul 6th 2007

she looks so beautiful. haha. this is funny


Posted by maeve_mcmoony Jul 6th 2007

:Whimper: Will there be a transcript? FWIW: I am deaf. Thank you in advance!!!


Posted by hpintwense06 Jul 6th 2007

wow adeathlyhallow.... where did you find those???? i am REALLY hoping those are fake because.... well i would've liked to see the real titles to the chapters when i actually got the book (that's the first thing i do once i get a new book, read the table of contents). i mean the titles you listed are interesting for sure, but probably not real. hopefully not real.


Posted by Liese Jul 6th 2007

That was amusing. I also was thinking along the same lines as xopinkribbon with the Sirius mention. I thought that was a major "death" if it was a death at all.


Posted by I_am_a_muggle Jul 6th 2007

I didn't get to read adeathlyhallow's comment but I remember reading the comments to some news story a day or two before book six came out that listed the correct chapter titles. It didn't ruin the book by any means, but when I got it and looked through the chapter titles I was surprised to see that the titles listed on the comments were right. So this time around, I am not reading any supposed chapter title lists.


Posted by fenestra Jul 6th 2007

In regards to the video, that really had me laughing out loud a few times. Excellent, Jo... adeathlyhallow, as real as those sound, they do seem a bit apocryphal to turn up in comments and not in the news feed... but perhaps I shall eat my words when it they do.


Posted by HagridGetsItCrunked Jul 6th 2007

BLOODBATH! OH GOD NO PLEASE DONT LET IT BE SO!


Posted by I_am_a_muggle Jul 6th 2007

Moderators, if you haven't already please ban adeathlyhallow.


Posted by trueShipper Jul 6th 2007

I believe those chapter titles however, don't post them here...post them to the spoil_me_dh livejournal group...that is for people who want spoilers!


Posted by srose2270 Jul 6th 2007

more than 2 characters die. :( just the information i was dreading...


Posted by janegallagher Jul 6th 2007

you know, i'm actually rather glad more than 2 are going to die. not that i want a body count or anything, but it IS a war, and 2 characters wouldn't be nearly believable or dramatic enough.


Posted by kookkook Jul 6th 2007

Where the hell are you reading adeathlyhallow's commenttt !!! i wanna see it ?????


Posted by 62442MAGIC Jul 6th 2007

That was a really great first part (of the interview) ...can't wait for the second. When he joked that he had read the book and then said "it could have been better than just....'it was all a dream,'" that was funny.


Posted by christianaeg Jul 6th 2007

Yay!!! adeathlyhallow's gone! thank you mugglenet!!


Posted by polkadots56 Jul 6th 2007

My heart literally skipped a beat hearing the word "bloodbath"... wow. I am crying already. Oh and that Johnathan Ross is pretty funny. Also, adeathlyhallow please stop. We all know those are not the chapters. I read them and laughed... "The Grey Lady's Desire"?? Purrleasse.


Posted by marythefairy09 Jul 6th 2007

hahahaha His made-up spells are soo funny LAWL
