Post Video & Transcript of J.K.R & Dan on Dateline (Spoilers!)

Earlier this evening, Meredith Vieria of NBC's 'Dateline' hosted the special: Harry Potter: the Final Chapter featuring in depth interviews with J.K. Rowling herself. Daniel Radcliffe, Rupert Grint, and Emma Watson all make comments about their thoughts on the books, the phenominon, and Jo herself.

This video and transcript of the interview contains spoilers to the final book so if you have not read the book yet, read this AT YOUR OWN RISK! If you do not want to be spoiled, we suggest that you simply do not watch until you have finished reading the book.

SPOILER!!: J.K.R. explains why she killed two of her characters
In book seven, Jo killed off Harry Potter's close friends Lupin and Tonks, and in doing so, left their newborn baby an orphan, just like Harry.

J.K. Rowling: I wanted there to be an echo of what happened to Harry just to show the absolute evil of what Voldemort's doing. The fact that you leave orphans and you leave children who then have to make their way in the world uncared for and unprotected. And-- so that's why I killed the two that, you know, you know about in this book. Which I hated, hated doing because I love them both as characters.


SPOILER!!: Rowling chooses between two characters
Then she dished about the life and death choice she made between the Weasley twins -- Fred and George -- brothers of Harry's best friend Ron.

J.K. Rowling: Well, I don't know why because I always knew it was going to be Fred. I suppose looking back from it, I think that most people would have expected it to be George I think. Because that's the ringleader. He's always been the instigator. He's slightly harder than George. George is slightly gentler. Fred is normally the funnier but also the crueler of the two. So they might have thought that George would be the more vulnerable one and, therefore, the one to die.
Meredith Vieira: But was it easier for you to kill Fred than George?
J.K. Rowling: It wasn't easier.
Meredith Vieira: No?
J.K. Rowling: It wasn't easier. Either one of them would have been terrible to kill. (LAUGHTER) It was awful killing Fred. I hated that.

UPDATE: We now have video Parts 1-4 out of 5 of the show. We'll update with Part 5 as soon as it gets up.

This was FANTASTIC. A whole hour of Harry Potter/JKR information! Loved it. Although I was quite disappointed that many of the bits they played had already been played on the two Today show segments. You would've thought that there are plenty of questions out there to make up another hour of new stuff!

Urgh, i hated, absolutely hated the fact that she killed three of my favourite characters off, the ones i hoped would still be alive. The videos are great, btw.

Those were fantastic videos, loved what she said at the very start of Part 2, but wasn't the start missing??? It turned on halfway through her sentence. When she talked about the two characters she swapped for the reprieve, I was almost crying. Still, I get emotional when anyone mentions anything to do with them or DH anyway !
