That would be great.

Well, not seeing the context of this, I can't say for sure BUT my guess
would be (Oct 1999 was after PoA but before GoF) that she was referring
to GoF specifically.  She did say in another interview that I saw that
Harry would date neither Hermione nor Ginny in GoF but that he was only
14 & had plenty of time to change his mind.  She answered all sorts of
interview questions about *who* he would date in GoF as you may recall
-- once she let it out of the bag that he & the others would discover
the opposite sex, it became a favorite pre-GoF interview question.  And,
of course, her answers led all of us to conclude that it would be Cho.
And, yes . . . Cho was his first crush but it remains to be seen whether
they'll actually date.

In any case, I guess most H/H fans are resigned to Ron & Hermione dating
in the canon -- most of us just don't think it will last.  <g>

Paul -- if you'll send me a link to the full text of that interview
though, I'll be happy to update that FAQ as needed.  Is there more to it
than that?  I assume the whole interview was concerned with GoF but
maybe I'm off-base in that assumption.
