A Few More Quotes from J. K. Rowling Interview
|
In the printed edition of Radio Times, there are a few more quotes from J. K. Rowling. They're from the upcoming broadcast interview on Radio 4 on the 10th at 9:00am GMT. Here's what the interview had to say (thanks to TLC):
SF Is it really true that you've got it [the end of the story] all planned out?
JKR Yes, I do know what's going to happen in the end. And occasionally I get cold shivers when someone guesses at something that's very close, and then I panic and I think "Oh, is it very obvious?" and then someone says something that's so off the wall that I think "No, it's clearly not that obvious!"
So much that happens in [book] six relates to what happens in [book] seven. In six, although there is an ending that could be seen as definitive in one sense, you very strongly feel the plot is not over this time and it will continue. It's an odd feeling, for the first time I'm very aware that I'm finishing.

J. K. Rowling Writes of Hard Times to Fight Social Exclusion
|
Harry Potter author J. K. Rowling is one of four authors living in Scotland who have submitted their stories to a book called One City whose proceeds will go to help fight social exclusion in Edinburgh, Scotland. In it, she speaks of when she and her daughter were on their own and poor, how boys threw stones at their windows, a drunk tried to break into their apartment, being broken into while she and her daughter were in bed, and how she has come to love Edinburgh. Her stories are in the introduction of One City, and the event is sponsored by The Scotsman. All proceeds go toward One City Trust, whose aim it is to help people in the poorest parts of Edinburgh enjoy the fruits of the city's economic and cultural boom. All of the authors will speak with BBC's Kirsty Wark of Newsnight about the book. |
