I didn’t get the “two Gryffindor girls” part, can anyone explain a bit about that? And overall, I cannot help but listen to this over and over. JK Rowling, you are wonderful! Good Job to you John, Sue and Melissa!
Jove – I’m not an expert on this lol, but if I remember correctly, it’s mentioned in POA that there are two other Gryffindor girls in Hermione’s year, other than Parvati and Lavender. But their names are never given and they’re never mentioned again. So people have asksed Jo a few times who those girls are, and she keeps dodging the question lol :)
JKR is a real Cinderella..from a small flat to a mansion, it’s kind of rugs to riches story and yet even in her current status, I can still sense the wit and humility in her voice and in her totally. JKR is such an amazing woman with lots of courage and strenght. Her story is an absolute to be known. Can they produce a DVD or other ways for this documentary to be seen by everyone in the world (Harry Potter is known worldwide),we are all dying of envy to UK viewers who will have an exclusive opportunityto watch this documentary, pleeeaasssee. The most WONDERFUL gift, I and all the fans would have. HAPPY CHRISTMAS and a PROSPEROUS NEW YEAR to all!
I’m so glad you mentioned that it was a challenge to be dispassionate interviewers of JKR, because that’s exactly what I’ve been thinking, is how hard it would be to interview her because I would just be sitting there in a daze and coming up with lame questions like, “Why are you so awesome?”
Even after I read Nimbus XL’s original post wherein he theorized that JKR might come on the show, I thought to myself, “What would I ask if I knew JKR would answer?” and even then, when it was only hypothetical (or so I thought), all I could think of were drooling fan questions (see lame question above). So, thanks for doing so well in the interviewing.
wonderful interview!
i always thought draco married pansy but whoa…
jk rowling is wonderful. beautiful person!
cant wait for the scottish book!
if u read this, pls in ur next interview, can u ask her what’s in that archway(or the veil…in the department of mysteries)
Is there going to be a transcript of this so those of us who don’t wish to use our bandwith and or downloads can read it rather that listen. some of us are on shared computers and can’t download it. :(
I have a subscription through iTunes, & this new episode (episode 131) doesn’t seem to be available through iTunes yet. The last one I got (I update daily) was episode 130. The direct downloads don’t seem to work either.
Okay, why in both of these interview is over half of both you guys yapping and less than half of it Jo? Are you really that self-important? I’d rather not here self-important obsessed fans yapping over the author of the books.
Oh yes, how dare they actually speak on their own podcast. I guess next time Melissa, John, and Sue have a chance for interviewing J.K. Rowling, they should do it without speaking. Jeez, what were they thinking? insert eye-roll here Some people and their posts….
Anyway, I loved the interview. Fantastic job by everyone involved! Can’t wait for the bloopers!
Thanks Leaky for the wonderful interview, and thank you Jo! What a fantastic way to end the year!
