i understood the elder wand thing and the sword thing when i read it too! idk… maybe ppl read to fast… but yeah… i kinda hoped for better questions… though i did like the one about it being 19 years later… i was just having a talk about that with someone…

Any chance Leaky might compile a list of all of this info? I don’t have time to go and read it all (in school right now), and I’d love to have a definitive list :) :)

People need to stop putting down other people for asking questions or not understanding certain aspects of the book!... or automatically asuming that because someone doesn’t understand- they must not have read the book good enough.. I do agree that most of us read it fast, but I still respect people’s questions. Jo certainly does not criticize people for their questions, but merely answers them and thanks her fans for being so obsessed. If those of you that are irritated that people are not getting stuff, or asking repeated questions, why not help people not have to ask again by spending some energy answering a couple, rather than complaining!!

hmmm…

I don’t think that everything was “crystal” clear but I took my time reading and I have even been reading some chapters over again (most of the ones that I was crying so hard it was difficult to read)... but I can’t believe that it’s over. And that’s why I took my time. I limited my reading (or sould I say that my son did)and was able to really enjoy my last adventure with Harry. Although the book finally finished tying up a lot of loss ends… I still wonder what James and Lily did for a living??? I thought that it would be important to Harry not only to find out where they lived and where their graves were but also to know what they did for a living, or how did they out matched “Tom Riddle” three times… those where the ones that I still have after I finished reading. I love Jo, she’s a great author and I know whatever she wants to write about next I’ll be reading. Thanks Jo for all the adventures that I have taken with Harry and the “soon to take” trips with my son.

In the MSNBC interview, it says that Jo doesn’t think that Snape is a hero, but in the transcript she says : J.K. Rowling: Yes, I do (think Snape’s a hero); though a very flawed hero. An anti-hero, perhaps. He is not a particularly likeable man in many ways. He remains rather cruel, a bully, riddled with bitterness and insecurity – and yet he loved, and showed loyalty to that love

J.K. Rowling: and, ultimately, laid down his life because of it. That’s pretty heroic!

I think Snape is a brave hero and one of my favorite characters. What do you think?

Something is ever so wrong with the text only page… lots of the posts aren’t appearing at all, including the webchat transcript which I’ve only just found out exists! :(

So having a baby before 25-26 is teenage pregnancy? That’s kinda a closed minded opinion… If I had never stopped going to school, I could have had a baby as soon as 21 or 22, but now I have to finish college first. I think anyone who finished their education and/or has a steady job is ready to have a kid. But that’s just my opinion. Oh well.

I liked the clarification on Draco, even though it’s kinda the second time she said it. When I saw info on Draco I hoped it would be who he married though, but no such luck… oh well :)
