Is there a pointer to the interview?  I've caught a few of the JKR talks 
here and there, mostly on Scholastic's very cute web site, but I've missed 
most of them.  Is there a collection of them some place?  I'd like to see 
what I've missed.

So, it sounds like there's an apprentice system working.  Quite reasonable 
since so many things seem stuck in the 19th to early 20th century - the 
Hogwarts Express springs to mind.

Thanks for the insight.
