Potioncat: 
As much as I want to know everything, I think your idea is great! We 
could have used some more time with DH as is. 

But what I wish she'd do, rather than quick, on-the-spot interviews, is 
to write an article about how she wrote the series. I'd like to know 
how the plot evolved, how characters merged, what she was aiming for. 
There are little bits of that in some of the interviews, but not enough.

I'd recommend Agatha Christie's autobiography. She comments on fans' 
reactions to her stories, and her reactions to their reactions. Very 
interesting and to my mind, very much like what's going on with the HP 
series.
