question about JKR interview

[psychic_serpent <psychic_serpent@yahoo.com>]

When I went to this interview

http://www.scholastic.com/harrypotter/author/transcript2.htm

the only Animagus question I found was this one:

Q. If you were Animagus, what kind of animal would you be? 

A. I'd like to be an otter — that's my favourite animal. It would be 
depressing if I turned out to be a slug or something.


Which is rather amusing, you have to admit.  I do recall someone 
saying that she denied that she would make Harry an Animagus, but 
whether there's a transcript of that available, I don't know.  I 
liked that she made Harry's dad a Chaser, not a Seeker (that 
question is in the above interview), as it drew a distinction 
between the two, but now that she's allowed the filmmakers to muck 
around with that and make James a Seeker in the first film, who 
knows?  She may have said at one point that Harry wouldn't be an 
Animagus, but she has three more books to change her mind about 
that...
