Now me:

I hate to be a nit-pick, but JKR was referring to a room at Hogwarts, 
not a different country.

Here's the exact interchange 
(http://www.comicrelief.com/harrysbooks/pages/transcript2.shtml):

Q: If you could travel to Hogwarts for an hour, what would you do 
there? 

JKR: Go straight into a certain room, mentioned in book four which 
has certain magical properties Harry hasn't discovered yet! 

Nonetheless, this gives me a forum to ask a question that's been 
bugging me - in PS/SS, Bill is said to be working in Africa, while in 
the rest of the books it's Egypt.  Are we to assume that he changed 
locales afer PS/SS, or do you think it's a flint?
