    That is how I saw that scene. What a great transformation of Neville in the series...he is a Gryffindor!

    Yes, I've read that. I don't like it. I personally don't really care what an author says after the fact of writing a book. I mean it's interesting and everything but it isn't HP canon. It's just her placating the fans. My opinion, of course.

    I sure want to hear it all, too, but not because it would have anything to do with HP. It's that I love and admire Ms.Rowling, and naturally she interests me... in a word, knowing what else she has to say about HP would be knowing more about her, not about HP, which is already written and the case closed (unless any revisions are to be expected).

    Sirius has suddenly ceased being my favorite character.

    Anyway, is the HP series good on audio? I've read the guy who does them is great. He's English, right?
    He is very good. Won several emmy's for his perfomances.

    I am done now and I totally agree with Mike

    **heads to the spoiler thread**
    are you talking about jim dale or stephen fry? i really like jim dale, haven't heard the other guy but i hear he's better and i just can't imagine it.

    Spoiler:
    I can't believe she killed off poor little Hedwig so early in the book.
    If this is a sign of what's to come, I don't think I can bear it.

    Sorry, I had to vent somewhere. I know most of you have already read it, but I've done get to get through the first 6 books in two months time with the move and all, so I'm a little behind.

    I was looking on EW tonight to see if King had any new articles.
    He does...his review on HP7.

    I couldn't read it because I was afraid of spoilers...but here's the link for the rest of y'all.

    Enjoy!!!

    My favorite line of the whole review, that isn't a spoiler...

    Most reviewers, on the other hand, bolted everything down, then obligingly puked it back up half-digested on the book pages of their respective newspapers.
