Jonathan Ross Interviews J. K. Rowling part 2 

7th book I cried like a baby. starting from when I read the blurb on the cover, and then the dedication, and then again, and again. Worst was when Harry walks into the Forbidden Firest when he is summoned and holds the stone. I wept and then threw the book positive that JKR was trying to break my heart. I was 21 I think. : )

its amazing how even though she's heard these questions countless times, she still thinks before she answers. makes it all seem so genuine. she's amazing.

Damn that woman! I can't watch an interview of hers without almost crying everytime she leaves the stage. She has stolen my heart and mind and I just cannot stand watching her leave us. And OH when she talks about finishing it my goodness, how that must of felt for her, as overwhelmed as I was at the end (more from the finality of it than the actually story) she is 200 times more connected with those characters than we ever were. wow.

i love her and have the biggest respect for her

I love this interview! Do you have part 1? It used to be on youtube but I don't know what happened to it.

It's easy to forget that she hasn't just created a series of characters and a storyline, she has created an entire WORLD. That is an amazing achievement, and I can't thank her enough. It's my favourite series of books by a long shot, and I'm sad that they're finished but at the same time I think that it shouldn't be continued. I will read this book to my kids and pass on the magic :)

shes a beautiful woman. i love harry potter. im so glad those books exist. bless her.

I am so impressed with J.k Rowling books on Harry Potter I never been a fan into book 2 the movie came out when a bunch of my friends watched it...I ended up borrowing there books and finished 1 book in 1 week stayin up late just reading it....I hated books but this one was probably the best one I ever read in my life....

I have to agree with bukwerm827 Unless you have written an entire novel, let alone 7 bestsellers.... i hardly think that you can comment on the level of difficulty in writing. The fact of the matter is that it can often be an extremely trying task, intellecually, emotionally, and can even take a very physical effect on a person. It is friggen hard work, and if only for all of the good that she has done by getting kids to read, she deserves every penny and moreover our thanks.

JK Rowling is a literary genius. She deserves a Knighthood!

i adore her :)

Oh, I don't know why people always say that about him, I always find him to be very jolly, but yes this is a good and fun interview.

the dedication made me cry too! and the forest again was when i cried the most!

She looks so much healthier than she did when she first began writing the books, it's wonderful.

She's such a timid little thing. Gotta love the humility

i absolutely LOVE HER!! can you imagine if 17 yrs ago she never thought of hp? i cant imagine a world without harry!

Jonathan Woss:- IT'S J.K.WOWLING!!!

I cried when Snape died... and a little more toward the end... but mainly cause I had finished the book and it was all over was why I cried at the end :)

all was well.

Although I didn't like that a lot of the characters died, it wasn't "stupid". In the Harry Potter series, they were fighting a war against a very dangerous wizard. Jo knew what she was doing, she's a pro. But I do wish certain characters didn't die. =(

I reckon it was the chapter when Harry goes to give himself up to voldemort and sees his parents, sirius and lupin with the resurection stone- I for one cried like a baby during that chapter

@Analeigh999 that's an AWESOME idea!!! I'd love a prequel about the founders as well :)

"Can i ask you what the last word is?" "No." lol

@fabfourgroupie i saw in another interview that asked a similar question where she said that chapter 34 "the forest again" made her cry the most. It even made me cry and I never cry while reading a book. Such a poignant chapter

'Jo has done well out of these books' . . . UNDERSTATEMENT!!! :D

I LOVE HER SO MUCH

last sentance - All was well.

She is so admirable. If there's anyone I hold in the highest esteem, it is JK Rowling.

I love Jo!

Pedro- I think you'll find that she DOES have a sense of humour, if she didnt she wouldn't have laughed at or understood any of Ross' jokes. Just because she didn't make many jokes her self doesnt show lack of humour. In fact if you've READ the books you'll see she has a fantastic sense of humour. And I don't find her boring at all, she lives a facinating life, has an interseting backstory and is a fantastic writer.

she's such a genius!

It seemed to me like Jonathan had to keep prodding + prodding to get her to speak.. she answered his questions, but she didn't really carry the interview. It disappointed me.. but that said, I am not dissing JK Rowling at all! I think the woman is an absolute genious.. she really has upped the ante for authors everywhere :)

I think that chapter was when Snape died. Knowing his true story, it probably did make her cry... it would've made me cry! Although I did cry when Fred died too... maybe it was when Harry walked in on all the dead people?

why cant i find the 1st part of this interview?

@Analeigh999 I, since reading Prisoner of Azkaban when it first came out, thought it would be absolutely marvelous to have a Marauders Series. Everything could be explained in more detail and it would be a fantastic accompaniment to the original series as well.

@chesney121 piss off these books are awesome and so is she for writing them.

THe theme park is going to be AMAZING!

LEGEND

is she talking about the chapter a princes tale if so i wouldnt blame her for crying her eyes out i did Jk rowling is a complete genius words cant describle her

she is an inspiration

Well Said! x

It was that whole part of the chapter where he started walking through the forest

it opens in the spring, I believe. March maybe? it's in orlando :D

ITS ALMOST 2010!! OMG IM GOING TO THAT PARKK!! hahaha

@bbphnix In regard to the prequel, she did do one. It was a 400 work story in which she gave the rights to a charity and the story sold on little cards at Barons and Noble. It was a cute little short about Harry potters father and Sirius Black running from Muggle cops. But not a whole other book.

@TrineG92 Its the chapter where Harry goes in the forrest, she,s mentionned it in another interview.

I didn't, i uploaded both but part two got taken down by youtube because of copyright. Liss x

good holidays for ya, jk. but plz, plzzz, write another book. promise me...

i think she was talking about The Princes Tale, because she knew Harry was coming back so it can't have been that emotional and Fred wasn't a whole chapter - just a couple of paragraphs.

In the sketch hagrid was played by Ronnie Corbit

I love her laugh! Doesn't she seem like she'd be the best Mother ever...

yh i know wat u mean all through the books we despised him and then to find out that, it really does make u sad

I think she's a little shy of TV interviews, and even after all the money and fame it still shows. Nothing wrong with that though, I really liked her

She's continuing to write those books, make no mistake. You can see it on her face when she answers the question. Now. She MAY not choose to publish it.

shes really sweet

dont worry many did. acutally that was the idea. publishers thought if people thought a woman wrote it, it would attract less of an audince when she first started.

@Lillyliinchen hell yeah, im goin in november!!!! so psyched!!!!

She seemed to have a good time on the show.

''you're such a literary tease'' haha

my bday's july 22nd - i spent most of my 17th sleeping having read the whole book on july 21st

yes princes tale destoyd me, omg

She could kill him with one of her heels... Anyway, thanks for uploading!

She's so feminine, so unassuming and so utterly charming, funny and sweet that it's obvious how she, as the inventer of Harry Potter, is the real magic behind all things Harry Potter, and beyond. I hope that she writes and publishes successfully for many decades to come.

I think its more likely that she was just really embaressed becasue after all she is notoriously shy

why?

@doomy I'm sure there is a link to it. Try any one of the many fan sites. That's how I read it. For the life of me I can't recall which site it lead me too but the fan site that I found it on was Mugglenet.

@lumpyfishful well they have to walk a lot to get to their classes. They live in a castle.

@theozzman91 It was Chapter 34, actually: the one where Harry travels into the forest to sacrifice himself to Voldemort.

@LiaxJersey12 she said it was the chapter when harry heads into the woods in another interview.

My ambition is to be such a brilliant composer that I can make enough money to be able to ask her out without her thinking that it was her money I was after.

@Analeigh999 yeah! that's a great idea, there's so much stuff that happened there..

@WannabeRetro I know but what chapter was it, like what's the title?

true

I'm 23 and I think she is so freaking hawt.

wow, isn't it strange when they talk about 2010?

I wonder what chapter she was talking about? I'm guessing King's Cross.

next thing you know it's 2010 in 5 months :O

@philipa9876 snape gave harry his memories revlovling around lilly and his sworn duties to protect hary before he died, he gave them to harry and harry looked at them, in the pensiv

@Cindylock i think it was when Fred died

@WannabeRetro which was chapter 35?

@Lillyliinchen yes

@Analeigh999 the gathering of the order of the phoenix would be an awesome story, and end it with voldemort's downfall?

I howled too.

whn fred died i was so sad. he was my fav.

@chesney121 Part one has now been put on...

She looks great there - and her books raised 16 million pounds for charity??! Wow.

Jonathan Ross can be a wanker but this is an excellent interview, JK Rowling interviews tend to just be the same questions asked over and over, but this is fun! :D

Would u say that the last word is lifetime or well

1:15 She can only think of one? Robert Jordan Steve Erickson Anne McCaffrey C.S. Lewis Tolkien Ursula K. Le Guin Frank Herbert Terry Pratchett You are not the only living fantasy author, Jo. And those listed above are hallmarks of the genre you hold in high disregard.

i know!! thats what i thought :'(

oh yeh i no! i wasnt sayin anything bad about jonathan rossand i no comic relif do that to everyone but i just felt a bit sorry for her!

she says on: JK Rowling: a year in the life, that she is making another book, it is a fairytale.

have you read twilight?

@GinnyCullenSparrow that's what I thought.

GOK!!!

It got deleted by youtube sorry!

It got deleted bu youtube sorry!

I don't see Stephanie Meyer raising millions for charity!

Robbie Coltrane
