| | |  Quote of the Week - Whoopi Goldberg
In a recent interview Whoopi Goldberg cited J.K. Rowling as the author, dead or living, whom she'd most like to have dinner with. She also goes on to compare her writing style to that of Rowling's. Quote: If you could have dinner with one author who’s living or dead, who would it be and why?
There are hundreds of authors. Anyone who writes a book, I’m interested in, because it’s coming out of their head. I just like the idea. Probably these days, I’d probably want to sit down with J.K. Rowling. I’m interested in that brain. [I’d ask her,] "What said to you: ‘Here’s what I want to write’?" She’s working and keeping the family together. What sparked her? That’s what I’d want to know, because I think she’s really smart.
Quote: You mentioned J.K. Rowling earlier. She’s said she has outlines and back stories for even the smallest characters in her books. Are you the same way?
She’s much deeper than I would ever be. I’m not that deep. It comes to my head and I’ll think of it and say, "I’d like it to go this way." Or someone will say, "What about this" And I’ll say, "This looks good … Let’s do this." I’m not deep at all.

i know that  Its still a bummer about her, but Its such an accomplishment for them to have kept and all UK born cast ( I think, Isn't Emma Watson actually french? ... I'll have to check that - not sure where I read it, And the actress who played FLeur - was she english?)

As for Fleur, her character IS French, so she wouldn't have to be British.

That sounds like the start of a good dinner party to me. Add in David Tennant, Stephen Fry, Micheal Gambon and Bonnie Greer and it would be conversation heaven I reckon!

Awesome!! I love Whoopi! I didn't know she was a writer, but I'm not surprised...that woman can do everything. She's won a Grammy, Tony, Emmy, Golden Globe, and an Oscar! I hope she publishes something soon.  | |

Never a huge fan of Whoopi, but at least she likes JK! That earns her a couple of points!

She can speak French though...And Clemence Posey (Fleur) was born in France...Which is strange...They wanted an All English/British cast...Maybe they took her bcoz in the books they're from france...The Beauxbattons I mean.
I didn't know Whoopie was an author.

I love Whoopi!!
I wonder when is Ms Rowling going to sit and write that Encilopaedia she promised with all the information missing in the books. There's so much we all want to learn about the characters, especially the eal things, not the publicitary stunts.
