TODAY SHOW & Questions for JKR

Hi --

Thanks for the synopsis Heidi -- you beat me to it!  Interesting about
the voice change though since Jim Dale already gave Harry & Ron deeper
voices in GoF.  :--)  She was talking really fast when she was talking
about the fact that the kids will confront more adolescent issues in the
next book.  I may see if there's a transcript on the msnbc page later
today.  Other than that, Heidi's right -- she didn't say anything too
terribly exciting.  The questions & answers will be done on Friday's
show (& Jim Dale will do a reading).

Questions for JKR --

1.  I like Steve's idea & Blaise's phrasing on the Lupin question.  I
will submit that one for us.

2.  Dee -- the Wand Order & Gleam questions are great, but it's *very*
unlikely she'll say anything more than an enigmatic "you'll find out in
later books."  I'm interested in giving her questions that she can
either answer outright OR will provide food for thought for her (things
she might address in Book 5 in response like she did with Harry's
perceived stinginess, Pavarti's twin, pronouciation of Hermione, etc.).

I'm supposed to be in charge of the FAQ on Inconsistencies & Mysteries.
I think I will start going through that material today & see if I can
come up with some other possibilities.

I do wonder if all the questions are *given* to her, even if they aren't
all posed to her officially.  In other words, I wonder if she might flip
across our questions at some point later, even if they don't make the
final cut.  Hmmmm....

Final question --- should I submit more than one question per forum
(Today Show, B&N, Scholastic)?  Or, should I just do 3 questions total?
Any thoughts?

Keep submitting thoughts!
