Stuff related to the Leaky Cauldron/Mugglenet Interview

[lls_mutant]

This interview is so cool. The only thing I was hoping was that Tonks/Lupin would not come up.

And yet, JKR herself brought it up.

The way I read it, it sounds like we WERE supposed to be shocked when it came out of nowhere. Which is kind of interesting. I have no idea what that might mean, except maybe she's pleased the Sirius red herrings worked? I feel like the Remus/Sirius question might have gotten asked, but either a.) is in the final part, or (more realistically, and I hope) b.) was edited out of the interview. In a way, I'll be glad when this interview is over, because I can stop feeling like the tetherhooks are there. And in a way, I never want it to end, because the questions are so good that I'd like to keep reading more, more, MORE!

Any thoughts?

Oh, don't even get me started on Jo's characterisation of Sirius. Every time she opens her mouth about him, I cringe. She always says, "Well, he acts like that because he's unstable and unhinged and immature." But what she's really saying is, "He's unstable and unhinged and immature because my plot wouldn't work if he had a consistent character." Kind of annoying.

I was not disappointed by Harry at all, either. He's such a cutie (well, when he's not going on about the monster in his...er...'stomach'). I actually want him to win! :)

It is annoying. On the other hand, it's workable in fics. Of course, maybe if I wrote post-Azkaban more often, I'd find it harder...

I want Harry to win, too :) I like him- he's such a realistic, confused hero. I just don't like writing him in fanfic because I feel like he's JKR's territory. I'll need him for Secret Keepers, but other than that... and I have no complaints about how she treats Harry. (I always rather liked H/G, although I could have happily gone for Lone Hero, too. I just wish we'd seen more of their conversations!) Just her minor characters. ::mutters about the lack of McG.:: Although at least now we know McG knew Neville's grandmother quite well, which lends itself well to your older witches fic!
