"I think i speak on behalf of everyone in the country when i say what a lovely contribution youve made to our lives.." that was such a genuine thing to say...johnathan ross is great!
Lol if you know anything about Jonathan Ross, you'd be practically certain that he's read the books. He's one of the worlds largest fantasy and sci-fi geeks.

MissPlease For some reason a lot of comments were removed as Spam. One of them was flaming England and saying what a wonderful country America is and bla bla bla. I mean I have nothing against America but Britain IS like 10 times better and America isn't really that a good country... (Referring to the U.S not America in a total)
Am I the only one who never saw Harry Potter as a childrens book series? I mean yeah I started reading it as a kid but I enjoy it so much more as an adult and it's the only childrens book series that I still read. She ended it perfectly. I can sort of understand why people want more on it but I feel like there needs to be a point where it ends and the rest is up to our imagination. In my opinion it couldn't of had a better ending.
Well, they're calling it a children's book because the don't have the YA categorization as much over there, but it's YA. It's a series for Tweens and Teens. The content, complexity, and thematic material of the series is too mature for an audience of children, and the series has a primary readership of teens and young adults.
I think adults take to many things away from children, it is a children's book, I don't understand why it should Souly be an adult book, when children need to be educated, its a literary work and if adults keep taking away children's treasures it would be a disaster, so no its a children's literary book for a reason and we should be teaching children that bad things do happen in life through their favourite characters so they have a comforting link between the bad things that do happen. The only reason adults don't like it as a children's book is because of the bad things and we dont want to teach children this because its to hard and it is, but that's why they should read it, because we can't always teach them the bad things in words, but through a fantasy a through their hero they can learn this, so it should 100% be a children's book. Adults shouldn't feel ashamed to love a child's book, there's equally nothing wrong with escaping to your childhood .
Caro Roberts I was exactly the same. At the point Harry had seen Snape's memories in the Pensieve, and was walking through the Forbidden Forest thinking he was going to die, my heart was literally pounding. I actually thought it was all about to end. J.K.Rowling has a power for telling a story like nobody has ever had.
I don't know how I could miss this interview for such a long time. It was amazing, first e for all because FINALLY the interviewer knew what Harry Potter REALLY was!!!
I am such huge admirer of JK rowling and her country Britain.. Seriously, such a small isle contributed immensely to humanity.. I wish I was born in this beautiful country.
ralert353 Thank you. We're a single country made up of three countries and part of a fourth,so people - including many British people - get very confused.
Man i just love this! I'm really happy that everything was kept British! I think i adds something special. This would have been so so different in America i think.
I love the HP books, and in particular Stephen Fry reading them on Audio books. But for me the movies are just to commercial. Can't wait for the BBC to do Harry Potter. Imagine Harry Potter made with the quality of Game of Thrones.
I bet that the chapter she sobbed her heart out at was The Prince's Tale. I can't even put a straight face thinking about that bit and now having the knowledge that Rowling did too doesn't help much. I'm Dying T_T
Jo has a very light Scottish accent - but its almost gone to English (I'd guess just through time) Ross is a southern English accent who can't pronounce r.
I'm Scottish and even though she lives here she's English through and through. I've never heard anything that sounds remotely Scottish when she speaks.
She sounds English, from the home counties, but I think she comes from the west country originally. She certainly doesn't sound Scottish in any shape or form.
they were quite right that boy wouldnt be attracted by a book written by a women. I have to admit she's about the only women I ever read and books written by women I usually dont finish.
7:30 - Interesting... I got my hands on a digital copy of Deathly Hallows a day before it released as well. Had it coming in the mail but didn't want to wait!
their conversation reminds a very old philosophical question: between saving a wise old man and a baby from certain death, what would your choice be... I always chose the wise old man... I think Ross chose the kid
Obviously because she doesn't know how she will feel about it in the future! If you listened closely you would've heard her say 'it's unlikey', though.
