    Jo is really not interracting with the fans anymore, now that she does not have to. Her wizard of the month is Harry, and that's about the only thing she's done at her site in ages.

    Which is probably all to the good, since her interviews generally suck, and her site is full of contradicitons.

    Ron worked at the joke shop? Didn't she say in another interview that he and Harry "totally revolutionzed the Auror Department", however unbelievable that might sound?

    And Ron being the one holding the Trio together is laughable. If anything, it's probably Harry being the glue holding everything in place.

    I can't help but feel...dismayed at her replies. Lately, it seems everything JKR says or writes is disappointing, from HBP to DH to her post-series interviews.

    And yes, I also do wish the fucking (To the moron who negrepped me because I used asterisks instead of the word itself- Happy now?) bitch will shut her trap and stop giving these depressing interviews.

    I agree. Ron showed, once again, that his jealousy issues far outweigh any worth he has to the group. Yes, the Horcrux amplified his feelings, but the fact of it is, those feelings were already there, and quite strong by themselves.

    Hermione definitely did nothing to hold them together, since she spent nearly every sentence telling Harry what and what not to do, being a narrow minded bint about everything, and generally freezing/pissing her pants whenever the action started.

    Harry wasn't great, but at least he kept calm when he had too, kept an open mind about things(Deathly Hallows) and knew, from the start, that it wouldn't be a god-damn cake walk like the other two seemed to think it would be.

    He also used his brain more, reminding me of the potential he had, all those years ago, in the first book of the series. It's like he flicked the light-switch off for a few years, finally turning it back on when needed the most.

    So yes, Ron holding them together is the biggest bullshit she's ever said.
    In an interview I read, it said Ron worked at the joke shop for awhile before joining the Auror department. Harry joined it beforehand and now heads it.

    Hermione worked in the Creature Control sector of the Ministry for awhile, but she moved into the Auror department too, I think.

    Also, I found that just because Kingsley is Minister that all corruption and other shit was stopped totally to be pathetically unrealistic and retarded. Talk about sugar-coating it.

    Typical good-over-evil aftermath, I guess. Makes me want to be sick.
    This really disappointed me. I thought that finally, she had shown that Gryffindor or not, he was human and not immune to doing shit like that. Alas, she spurts this drivel, enforcing the Gryffindor = Good, Slytherin = Bad, with very few exceptions to be the universal rule.

    Bah.

    I thought the whole thing on Dementors was bullshit, too.

    What really disappointed me not just about the interview but the book its self is that i was hoping that for once there would not be the same happy endings that you find in fucking Disney stories. It looked to be heading in that direction before she fucked everything up in like 3 chapters.

    My God she's making the HP-verse suck even more, couldn't she have just stuck with ruining it via the books?

    Gawd, I already hated the epilogue for this peaceful-world-shit, but now it gets even worse. Our beloved heroes having wonderful careers and revolutionising the wizarding world ...

    No corruption? What a fat load of crap.

    Luna marrying, Krum finding his love (what kind of question was that), the Quibbler becoming quite appreciated ... where is that puking smiley?

    I don't understand why you even hoped that ending would be realistic.

    Oh, come on people....
    I think you are forgetting something:
    The story is for children and children don't understand beyond good and bad.

    Harry Potter is a children story about a boy who saved a world and risked everything for people.

    And, corruption?! lol, can you tell me you know a person between 8-13 who knows about corruption? at least what the word corruption means?

    Yes, I knew about corruption when I was 13. This guy who lives around the block has a brother who wrote an essay on corruption for school, when he was 12. No matter what you think, kids aren't as imbecilic as you might imagine, especially now with the internet as a resource.

    Maybe, but I guess JKR agrees with me.

    Kids know what corruption is but they haven't met it in real life, plues parents prefer not to trouble kids with ,grown-up' things before time.

    Why do people keep saying that? I know more people over 20 that read it then people in my school (I'm in Sixth Form but we are connected with the High School).

    Believe me, my younger cousins spurn the books while my Aunts and Uncles love them.... HP is written specifically for the younger generation, and JK actually uses many references from the Bible, Literary elite such as C S Lewis etc and many old proverbial quotes. Truth be tiold, the first 5 books were filled with deep literery insight which could not be picked on by your average 'I like that stroy 'cos it has swords in it' 12 year old.

    On to the interview- what utter garbage. Her poor excuse for a final book was just emphasised with the spew that she was providing for her answers. Oh, and do people even care for grammer any more? Honestly, some of those questions hurt my eyes...
