One reporter reacts to JKR's revelations

[Carol]

We seem to be divided into roughly three camps regarding JKR's
revelations, those who want to know everything JKR has to say and
regard those revelations as canonical, those who want a few "facts" or
clarifications but not the author's opinions about her characters, and
those who wish she had not said anything and don't want her to say any
more because we want to interpret the books for ourselves. (I guess we
all know which group I'm in.)

A fellow list member was kind enough to alert me to this article,
which pretty much sums up my own feelings on the matter, and does so
in a clever, enjoyable way that even readers who don't share the
writer's view may find entertaining. It's called "Harry Potter and the
Author Who Wouldn't Shut Up":

Enjoy!

Carol, wishing that JKR would learn to say, "I'll leave that to your
imagination"
