| | |  HBP discussed on CNN by Scholastic Editor
Arthur Levine and Barbara Marcus of Scholastic, the US HP publishers, were interviewed on CNN yesterday about the contents of ' Half-Blood Prince'.
They confirmed the prescence of a new character (McClaggan) that JK mentioned last year.
("I found the name McClaggan the other day, which I think is a great name. There is a McClaggan in book six because I thought that it is a surname that is too good to waste.")
Videos of the interview can be seen here as can the transcript. Quote: (on camera): Does anyone die in the next Harry Potter book?
ARTHUR LEVINE, EDITOR: I can't tell you that.
Quote: HAMMER: Do Ron and Hermione actually get together finally? There's been sort of this, you know, a little tension between them. Are they...
LEVINE: You know it's interesting that you should ask that because I can't tell you that.
Quote: HAMMER: OK. Well, here's one for sure you can tell me. Who's the new minister of magic?
LEVINE: I can't tell you that.

 LoL! So umm, was there something he said about HBP?? Well, there's the mention of "McClaggan", but it's not something new. That interview's pretty funny.

You know, I actually thought this was quite interesting. A lot of people scoffed at it and all, but I think it's giving some hints. Think about it. We know for certain that there will be a new MoM, so that question was asked *about* the new MoM. We know there is a possibility of a death in HBP, so that was asked. We don't know anything concerning R/Hr... so possibly hint? Was this a PR stunt? Are they giving us hints without really telling us they are?
Maybe I'm reading too much into it, but it's interesting. Normally news outlets such as these knows *nothing* of the books and assumes that the hero will get the girl and askes if it's going to be H/Hr. So either CNN knows their stuff, or these questions were given as a PR stunt...

who do you think the new minister will be marcella? do you think it will be somebody who is already a member of the ministry? the one thing we don't see too much in HP is politics i.ex. different parties, etc. Maybe the HBP is the new MoM!
