Tonks:
I watch the interview online. I watched her body language and there 
was something odd. At one point, I forget the exact question, but it 
was about DD being gay, and Rowling was evasive, looked 
uncomfortable, looked down like she was censoring her response and 
then said something to the effect that .. I thought it was “it is 
what it is”, but with her accent it could have been “he is what he 
is”. Do you remember that part? I wonder if the publishers had a 
little talk with her at some point after New York. I am just trying 
to figure out what was going on in her mind, what was she not saying.
