| | |  New Interview with Mary GrandPre
Mary GrandPre, the illustrator for the Harry Potter series, gave an interview to the Detroit Free Press about her career, Harry Potter, and her life/career post-Potter. Quote:
Mary, who lives in Sarasota, Florida, says she got the manuscript for Book Seven in January. That means she's known how the story ends for about six months. Is it hard to keep the secret? Do friends, family members or kids at bookstore signings press her for details? "Not really so much," Mary says. "I think people just know that I can't talk about it."
Quote:
One question Mary does get a lot is: "Who's your favorite character?"
"Besides Harry, I would say Hagrid is my favorite character," Mary says. In fact, Mary has a dog named Chopper that reminds her of Hagrid. He's a doggie mix: part St. Bernard, part collie, part lab. "He's a big, wonderful, lovable mutt," Mary says. He's also her real-life inspiration for the loveable giant, Hagrid.
Quote:
Does Mary have a favorite book cover from the series? "I think the last one is my favorite," Mary says.

She's an amazing artist. I just love her work.
And right now, I'm awfully envious of her, she got to read the book seven months before us!

If she has had the manuscript since January, she got it before the book was completed. Was the notification that the book was completed in a hotel room in Scotland bogus?
