Interview talkshows like these are usually interesting, this was great but Ross was a bit weird sometimes, like swearing to the audience and stuff...cool to see though! And I can´t wait to see " the trio" appear on Conan O´Brian and radliffe be guest on the Jay leno ´show´...

I always pictured Bob Hoskins as Slughorn, but if Jo says that she cant say what character he could be, who is it? I thought she wasnt introducing any new characters. I just love her shes so beautiful and soft spoken. Although I am not looking forward to any of the coming deaths, I completely trust her. Death is never something you want but it happens, last year I lost several people very close to me with 9 months, that was heart wrenching as will be this book.

You know, it's absolutely amazing how every time I see or read a jo interview that has a video, audio, or sanctioned transcript the content just happens to eat a little more at the TLC interview's intially shaky credibility- they ask her the same question Emerson did, and her reply? "I can't tell you that, my husband and my editor are the only people I trust to know- even my daughter doesn't know." Must be nice to be boasting an interview of things she doesn't even trust her kids to know, yet trusts you to not blab all over the internet. Stuff she feels like it won't ruin too much to give away seem to be a much different answer than Emerson got, as well- almost like she just popped out an answer to shut him up (this is assuming he didn't just make crap up and she decided to not call him on it because she didn't want to ruin him that young). When I stop laughing at him, I'll feel sorry for him, but no promises on if I'll stop laughing at him this decade. That said, I think I'll be getting on youtube and saving this interview (preferably a file without that ugly mugglenet plug) on sheer Jonathon Ross is freakin' hilarious-ness...

that was nice...she looked really happy to be done with it. i was looking for hints about harry's fate..but she is really good at keeping secrets...lol

So does that mean that the last word is "not" haha that would hilarious if she gave it away right there!

haahha that was great


Posted by cassandra605 Jul 9th 2007

Bloodbath?! OMG!!!!!!!!! Actually, only 2 deaths would have looked pretty fake... It's a war! But i'm certanly not happy to hear jo say so... I'm gonna cry so much when I'll read the last book!!! I hope that none of the trio dies.... The fact that jo skipped sisius death looks pretty strange to me, and my personal theory is that he isn't really dead.... mmm we're gonna see it soon!! I CAN'T WAIT!!!!!!!!!!!!!

If Petunia is not a squib, maybe she was/is a witch. perhaps she got her hogwarts letter but didnt want to go or only went to school for a few years and dropped out?
