| | |  Jo talks Book 7!
An old interview with J.K. Rowling has come to light where she mentions the final Harry Potter book. You can watch the video here or read the transcript below.
Warning: This may be a hint of things to come - so read at your own risk. Quote:
My first and middle name is Joanne Kathleen. Kathleen is from my Dad's Mum, one of my grandparents. I was really lucky because the other grandmother was called Freda. So I think I lucked out actually getting Kathleen there somehow.
How many books am I planning to write? Harry Potter books? There will be seven in total, one for each... oh you look happy. I'm so glad. That would be very depressing if you went "oh no. Can't you give it a rest now." He's going to be at Hogwarts for seven years. In the seventh book he'll turn seventeen, so he'll come... In the wizarding... In my wizarding world you come of age at seventeen. Ok, so in book seven he'll be allowed to use magic outside school. (Jo laughs) So Dudley's really going to be in trouble. (audience laughs, Jo smirks) Now looking at you all being nasty to Dudley.
I get letters from parents saying I'm mean because I make Harry be nasty to Dudley. And I'm like, "Have you read Dudley? Do you understand what Dudley's like?" (audience laughs, Jo rolls her eyes) I mean there's turning the other cheek and there's just being a moron.

I'd almost wish the twins would have another go at Dudley, as opposed to Harry. Why? They're funnier

O, I agree with on Vonnie on that one 
Hehe, it's fun to read old interviews... because a lot of them talk about what we already know, so it's like your backreading.

Hmm... looks like Dudley may finally get it in book 7. I was hoping that it would be Ron or Hermione that gives it to him but Harry could work too  .

J.K. is pretty funny, isn't she? She seems funny, just by the way she acted.

 My Goodness I love this woman. She is so brilliant.  I can't wait for the final book to be released. Finally our journey with Harry will come to an end. It's sad but at the same time its fulfilling. <3 | |

 Oh poor Dudley he gets no love ... I'm now recruiting for the Dudley fan club c'mon peeps you know you love his bullying ways ... 
And I seriously doubt anything will happen to Dudley, he's so not even important to the story other than motivation, which would explain the one dimensionality of his character. | |

Even if Dudley is hardly important to the storyline, I'm sure something will happen to him. Dudley's been real mean to Harry adn this is Harry's chance to get at him...

^ I was looking at the same thing...
I guess he could return, but obviously not spend the entire year there. Or smth along those lines, anyways.

Something I love about JKR is the fact that she can sort of answer a question without totally giving away something major in her books. That interview looked very old! I love what she said about Dudley though, classic. I can't wait to see what Harry will end up doing to him and to all the other people who tormented him before he came of age, but now...HA HA. I can't wait!!!!! I want to know all the answers that have been burning holes in my mind for years!
