Page 1 of Harry Potter 7 - Ill-informed Speculation Thread

Apparently Jo Rowling was on Richard and Thingy yesterday giving a progress report on HP7. She`s going to off another couple of characters in this one but she`s not saying who.

I wish she wouldn`t "let slip" this sort of thing, it`s such a tacky way of getting publicity. She has three characters minimum who have to wind up deaded in the last book, and none of the Scoobies are among them. If any of them wind up carking it, she`ll have alienated a sh*tload of fanlets who won`t thank her for all the emotional time and effort they`ve put into the characters.

but you are doing your best to make sure she doesnt succeed in getting that publicity I see :-D


SHEPHERDS PIEEEEEEEE

"TIGHT"

Im no fan of the Harry Potter books, but she doesnt strike me as the kind of person who would actively whore for publicity for the book.

Plus I dont think she will give that much of a s*** about alienating fans, since its the last book and all.

I bet she brings dumbledore back and kills him again.......(knows nothing of this potter of which you speak).....

JK Rowling always strikes me as an absolute arsehole. Thinks its her bulldog chewing a wasp face that does it.

I think she`s very attractive for a billionaire.

She`s probably the most down-to-earth and honest celebrity I`ve heard of, and not at all the type to hog publicity. The reason she`s done the interview is as a counter to the 200+ pieces of mail a day and 2000+ e-mails to bloobsbury & Scholastic for a progress report.

With regards to the interview itself, the media speculation that`s followed is as predictable as it is humerous.

JK only said that 2 regular characters will cark it. Everyone (in particular the tabs) immediately assumes that it`s gonna be Hagrid or Harry, or maybe Ron or Neville (if they`ve actually read the bloody books)

What everyone forgets is that Malfoy is a regular. So is Wormtail. What about Voldemort himself? Maybe Lucious? I cannot see JK killing Harry in a million years. Not after everything he`s been through, not after the prophecy, or what the hell has it all been for?

Apparently she wrote the last chapter about 13 year ago.

16. She`s always said she wrote the last chapter first, and it`s been pretty much untouched since then, with only 2 small edits needed to bring it into line with the emerging story
