J.K. Rowling to Appear on PotterCast
PotterCastWell, ever since we made this post we have heard from listeners, friends, colleagues...everyone, all assuming that it meant that we were going to have J.K. Rowling on PotterCast, our Harry Potter podcast. Despite our weak attempts to tamp the rumor down without technically lying, it spread pretty quickly, and more than a few people we know interrogated us, sure that the rumor was true.
It was. We're very excited and proud to announce that as a little pre-Christmas surprise, J.K. Rowling will make her first ever appearance on a podcast on Tuesday when PotterCast #130 is released to the public. You can keep updated here or at pottercast.com/jkrowling.
It is the first in-depth fan interview since this one in 2005, and Jo's repartee was everything we knew it would be: informative, warm, funny and chock-full of canon revelations as well as statements about the writing and publishing of the series. We had such a great time recording with her and hope that you all enjoy the output!
Most of Jo's sit-down with Sue Upton, John Noe and myself will be played in Tuesday's show, and the remainder will be saved for the following show.
We just couldn't wait to tell you; you can expect a preview of what we talked about on the show tomorrow, so stay tuned! In the meantime, now that we've dispensed with all the plain informational talk, allow us to just say this:
!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
And to nimbus xl, the first commenter on our old post, who said, the post meant JKR would be on the show, and then apologized because we urged everyone not to go there? We're so sorry! You were right! You all were right! :)
PS, reader Sasha made this to celebrate. LOLOL. Thanks Sasha.

WOW! This is THE ultimate interview! I can’t believe it! This is so amazing! I can’t wait to hear her on Pottercast!!!!
No apology nessecary Melissa. I look forward to listening in.
Was kinda hoping you’d found the real Harry, and he’d agreed to make an entrance…
But I guess Jo will do ;)

Hooray for the Pottercast Trio!
I just have to know—did you go visit her, or did you interview her over the phone?
I can’t wait to hear the shows! You guys are the greatest!
I suppose you didn’t ask her about the Lexicon lawsuit? I can’t stop thinking about that situation and wishing it would all just get dropped. . . :-(

Sorry, but I can’t wait to see what she says. If it’s anything like her interviews or her books, it’s going to be beyond words.
