BUT <I>I really</I> wish she could discipline herself to smile mysteriously and tell them they will have to wait for the book. I know she must have had reporters shouting questions at her but I wish she would stop with the body count.Camillehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10422449200792287901noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7245036.post-1151431796931105882006-06-27T13:09:00.000-05:002006-06-27T13:09:00.000-05:00I rather suspect that it has less to do with JKR w...I rather suspect that it has less to do with JKR wanting to "share", and rather more to do with the intrusive nature of the British media. Since JKR was reading from the final HP book on Sunday at the Queen's 80th birthday party (Party at the Palace), i rather suspect someone buttonholed her and demanded soundbites - and this was the least she could get away with saying. I personally (and I may be being too charitable here) think she probably would prefer to just concentrate on finishing the book and raising her children, and announcing that major characters are going to die is a way of appeasing the media people without actually spoiling anything. After all, the Wizarding World is engaged in a Civil War, therefore deaths of major characters are inevitable. Therefore, she's not telling us (the readers) anything new, she's just getting the media folks off her back...<BR/><BR/>On the other hand, perhaps she is bored and lonely and likes wailing "Death ! Death !", and I'm being far too generous...Michelehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15888298679182871669noreply@blogger.com
