Sorry Alix -- we should all be more clear about which version of the
books we're referring to.  The UK versions don't have the "signatures"
that the US versions have with the letters that are included in the text
of the books (you get signatures for Harry, Sirius, Ron, Mrs. Weasley &
Hermione in PoA & GoF US versions).

Rosie opened up GoF & showed the audience "her" signature on Molly
Weasley's letter to the Dursleys -- this was in JKR's presence so I
think it's reasonable to assume it to be true.

Thanks to whoever posted the summary of the Rosie show.  I saw it but
hadn't summarized yet (not much to summarize actually).  I've been a bit
disappointed that none of the US interviewers have given her anything
but lame, softball questions.  You would think Rosie would have at least
one "substantive" question for JKR.  Katie Couric didn't act like she'd
even read the books & admitted that her daughter had helped her prep for
the interview.

To summarize again on the schedule of remaining events:

AOL Chat -- tonight (Thursday) -- 8:00 p.m. EST
Today Show -- tomorrow (Friday) -- not sure on time segment
B&N Chat -- tomorrow (Friday) -- 2:00 p.m. EST

There was no chat or interview yesterday Dee.  Only the Rosie show
appearance.

So far, I've only heard that Kelley & Carole & I will be at the B&N
chat.  Does anyone else want to take 5 or more of our questions to
submit?

Penny
