As we have been reporting, author J. K. Rowling was interviewed on the Jonathan Ross program earlier today. Thanks to Roonwit, we now have the complete interview available to view in our Video Galleries!
During the interview Jo discusses the past seventeen years she has spent with the boy wizard, ten of which as a published author, whether any characters were based on people she knew in real life, her first reaction to her series being turned into a film and the recently announced Harry Potter theme park coming to Florida in 2010. She also speaks a little about her Comic Relief charity books as well as, very cautiously, about Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows.
Readers should note, the interview does contain moments of adult language and themes that may not be suitable for younger readers.
If you can’t see the interview through the link, then you can go to YouTube and find it on there. Just search for JK Rowling on Jonathan Ross and it’ll come up. I really enjoyed the interview. I must admit that I got a little concerned when she made the comment about everything coming to a very clear end. Made me wonder if we’ll be seeing doom for Harry. Man, I can’t wait until this book comes out!!!
“Harry’s story comes quite to a clear end in book 7.”
...you know what that sounds like…

No! I can’t read into it that way, I won’t! I will be so devastated if Harry dies :( I think I’ll just go into a complete state of shocked denial. It would be psychologically traumatising for me, and I’m not kidding at all.
Anyway on a happier note that was a really wonderful interview. Jo is just a lovely person, I adore her!! :D
Watchwed it last night, JR’s Magical Moment!
Bob Hoskins was the first guest and seems to be a big Potter fan. He wants to be in the movies and JKR sid there was a perfect character for him. Slughorn?
During the next interview with a stylist guy, JKR was shown to be signing what looked like PP/SS for PAUL WELLER! :)
Her interview was great. I was really laughing!
She gave a few hints… Like more than two die and that Harry’s story comes to a definate end (Happily ever after, I hope!) but would NOT rule out doing another book later.
I watched this last night, although I couldn’t get on to Leaky afterwards to report it or send the video in – this site is very flakey lately, this is happening a lot – the bit about Harry’s story coming to a very obvious conclusion was alarming as was her comment when she talked about the the press latching on to her comments about 2 dying who she hadn’t intended to die and interpreting that to mean ‘only 2 die’. She said “It’s a bloodbath” – yikes!
There was a bit before her interview when Bob Hoskins was being interviewed (his house-hold sounds like a huge HP Fandom house BTW!) and he stated his desire to be in a film and she said she had written a character that would be perfect for him to play, but couldn’t say anything about him. It also showed her signing a (well thumbed) copy of PS for Paul Weller in the Green Room whilst someone else was being interviewed.

It was a great interview…
I start to think that HP will die..
the sobbing,..and the Harry’s story is clear…
"You have been taught how to duel, Harry Potter?" said Voldemort softly, his red eyes glinting through the darkness...[br]"We bow to each other, Harry," said Voldemort, bending a little, but keeping his snakelike face upturned to Harry. "Come, the nicetie
