The most interesting line in this one for me was that when she mentioned
that everyone always pesters her with questions about whether or not
she's going to kill Ron off, she says: "As if I'm going to kill Harry's
best friend."

Which sounds as if she's dismissing the idea, whereas I had thought that
up until now she has been careful not to rule it out.

(Hmm.  Upon rereading, I realize that this could be interpreted instead
to read that she's saying that readers are accusing HER of murdering,
rather than (hypothetically) Voldemort.  A different gloss, which
doesn't, however, rule out her axing Ron in a later book.  *Sigh*  Which
just gives us more to wrangle about.)

Oh, well.  The URL is above, if any of you are interested.
