“(more on this is also to be on the next PotterCast)”
YES! I’m looking foward to hear more about everybody; everything actually, when it comes from Jo herself.
I guess Putin affected my life more this past year than Rowling.
She said in the article that she has weak moments where she considers an 8th book, perhaps centered around someone other than Harry… I’m glad to know she hasn’t ruled out writing about the magical world completely! Maybe someday… Long Live Harry Potter!
I am never surprised by JKR. The interview, with Time, was full of heart-felt and often thought provoking things. I would have put her above Al Gore, but I think, that’s because I think he’s a putz. It really has nothing to do with JKR. She is and will always be a fantastic influence on the world. A good one! Congratulations, Jo! Can’t wait to hear more, from you, on PotterCast!
Nice, finally i know who is the wife of Draco xD BlogHogwarts.com
Truth be told, I thought Al Gore should have gotten the prize. I’m still trying to remember if Putin did ANYTHING this year.
Having said that, hats off to Jo! TIME would probably never make her Person of the Year (hypothetical situation in the editors room: “What are we, Entertainment Weekly?”), but I feel third place is more than excellent, for me at least. Well, actually second place, knocking Putin away.
That’s strange… in Time, Jo says Ron works at F&G’s joke shop as an adult, put in the PotterCast, she said he went straight to the ministry with Harry to be an auror. Which one is it?
(I am from Russia!) OH MY GOD!!! Putin! the first place! he did nothing incredible! it is unfair! JOAN RULES!!
ETA: At the top it says: In her interview with TIME and in webchats with fans, the Harry Potter author reveals a few more secrets
So TIME pulled the joke shop conclusion from the webchat with Bloomsbury.
Either way two out of three answers being auror, including the most recent one, that’s the one I take as canon. Plus, I like it far better.
Well done, Jo.. Don’t quite know about you guys, but I’m willing to wait 10 years for the Encyclopaedia.. The “Scottish Book” , as she’d say… =]
Ron was both an auror and then worked in the joke shop, as Neville was an auror and then was a teacher at Hogwarts.
I’m still annoyed about Putin winning. JO ALL THE WAY!
Oh well. I’ll buy the magazine anyway if this is in it.
