Hi:

Interviewer: "Do you have any kind of control over what Warner Bros. does
with Harry Potter?"

JKR: "Can I prevent it in terms of what's in my contract? No. But they
have been very gracious in allowing me input, and I have been asked a
lot of questions I never expected to be asked."

WHERE was her attorney (solicitor) when that contract was being
negotiated? She should have been in a position of strength I would think
& could have negotiated much more input into the final contract. There's
the lawyer in me!

Interviewer: "What's it like, dealing with Hollywood?"

JKR: Re when she met the screenwriter for the first time, he asked her
if she knew who his favorite character was. She thought "'You're gonna
say Ron.' It's really easy to love Ron, but so obvious. But he said,
'Hermione.' I just kind of melted."

So did Penny. <big giant smile> She's my fave too, so I now have great
hopes for her portrayal in the movie.

She's touring here in the US later this year according to the interview.

Overall, I thought this was *very* interesting. Hope you did!

Penny
