| | |  J.K.Rowling discusses Harry Potter's fate (spoilers!) (UPDATED)
USA Today has a new interview with J.K.Rowling in which she discusses Harry Potter's fate in Deathly Hallows, those 2 much-publicised unintended deaths, whether she'll write another novel within the same world and the spoilers that found their way onto the internet prior to July 21st.
The spoiler-free version of the interview can be read here. The interview containing book 7 spoilers can be read here.
J.K.Rowling also went on to reveal who were the 2 much-publicised unintended deaths.
In regards to writing another novel about the world, she says,
Jo also spoke about spoilers that made their way onto the internet prior to the publication of the book. Quote:
"I felt angry," she says, her voice getting louder as she talks about it. "I knew it was about other people's egos." She says she was concerned for her young fans, the "10- and 11-year-olds who really wanted not to know" how the book ended until they'd had a chance to read it.
"The (leak of the) epilogue upset me most," she said. "I had been working toward that point for a long time. I did have a sense-of-humor failure when the epilogue went up."
J.K.Rowling finishes by saying she is currently working on two projects - "One is for children and the other is not for children." UPDATE: An audio from this interview can be found here.  | |

I knew that the two she killed and wasn't going to were the ones she said were unintended! I'm glad she shared my pain at the last two she mentioned hurting her. Aww.....*ish sad*

Why did she kill them then? I'd have liked it better if they hadn't died. -pets poor dead dude and dudette- Awwww. I don't blame her for being angry. My AUNT told me what happened. I got so angry with her, so what was it like for J.K when it leaked? -pets-

i'm very proud of...
she should be, it was well written, well plotted. I didn't see it coming, and i think alot of other people didn't too.
revealation
whyy? why couldn't everyone just live happily ever after? i know that never happens, but those were my favourite characters.
About the epilogue, it was a pity that it leaked, it was a real selfish act.

they're gonna try and tell me this wasn't, that none of this happened,

We spent time here. We made friends here. That's a part of us.
Cause Hogwarts is bigger than any of us, of any of it's founders,
and it's going to be around long after we're gone.
Maybe we'll see our kids come here one day.
That's the thing about Hogwarts.
No matter how long you're away from it, there's always a way back. | |

Yeah me too, but I believe that anything that JK writes could be good, especially because she is writing one that is not intended for children.
It sucks about the spoilers on the net though, I read the articles that had all the spoilers in it and I could not believe that they were published! I mean no wonder she was mad, I would be!

Not bad! I understand that she is the creator of Harry Potter so she can kill who she wants to or need to.

I'd guess alot of what was revealed, but it always got on my nerves people trying to be spoilers for everyone else. The night I got my book I took my IPOD because people like to read the very end and scream out what happens I hate that, I'm with Jo let everyone read together.

It's finally over...it's pretty sad but time to move on...
I'm looking forward for James Patterson's series. Very original.
