Time Magazine article

I think it was mentioned here that Rowling was a runner-up for Time 
Magazine's Annual 'Person of the Year' cover.

I finally read the magazine over breakfast. It has an interesting 
section within the Rowling article entitled 'The author on her own 
work: "Harry is an old soul"'. In it, she briefly touches upon 
Hermione's overachievement as compensation for her insecurities, 
Harry's "need-to-know basis" behavior, and Ron's "classic 14 year 
old" demeanor. 

She also writes that Harry, in GoF, was "too proud" to talk to Ron 
about their problems and was "walking around thinking "I'm the one 
with all the problems, but Ron had been a faithful friend for three 
years, and I [Rowling] would have cut ron a little more slack."

Unfortunately, this section of the article does not appear on the 
Time website.

Happy Holidays to all!
