2 beagles:
Is it just me, or does JKR seem to avoid the U.S.?
There are no American newspapers in the running for the fun at the 
castle on July 16th.  And in the past, she has been asked whether 
there is a magic school in America (like a Durmstrang), which was a 
very definite "no."  The only American interview I ever remember her 
giving was on NPR (although there may have been others).  It just 
seems  a little curious to me.
