Actually, another crying scene was when he was with Lupin, but again, 
hiding his tears, as he learned how to use the Patronous.

As for what you are saying about Harry being able to use magic 
without a wand.  I am working on a theory about that . . . 

basically I'm thinking that you know, the wizards don't seem to
be able to use their magic focused without a wand.  I'm wondering if
somehow Harry is going to discover that he is able to use his magic
in a very focused manner?  I mean, that's the reason they break the
wands, don't want non-humans to have the wands, Snape says something
about "silly wand waving" . . . and then there's that last line about
the scar . . . Could be either his scar or his eyes have something to
do with focusing his magic in a very specific way, and perhaps this
is what his parents were working on?

Now, can I ask you: are there any special wizarding powers in your
world that depend on the wizard using their eyes to do something? Bit
like?
Why do you want to know this?

I just vaguely wondered.
Why?

Well because everyone always goes on about how Harry's got Lilly
Potter's eyes?
Aren't you smart? There is something, maybe, coming about that. I'm
going to say no more. Very clever.

And I'm going to ask one other question which you'll say isn't clever
at all. The significance of the place where Harry and his parents
lived, the first name -
Godrich Gryffindor. Very good, you're a bit good you are, aren't you?

Thank you.
I'm impressed. My editor didn't notice , I said to her haven't you
noticed any connection between where Harry's parents were born, not
born, where they lived and, one of the Hogwarts houses and she's
sitting there going erm, I'm not being rude about Emma she's
brilliant editor, the best I've ever. But know she didn't pick that
up either. You're a bit good you are.

Harry Potter for grownups again! Is Voldemort the last remaining
ancestor of Slytherin, or the last remaining descendent of Slytherin?
Ah, you spotted the deliberate error. Yes, it should
read "descendent." That's been changed in subsequent editions. (Keep
hold of the "ancestor" one, maybe it'll be valuable one day!

Wonder why she says *deliberate*?  Is she *trying* to print valuable 
books?  And someone has mentioned the paperbacks reverted to Ancestor 
again.

Oh dear, I know someone just said they thought Uncle Vernon had some
magic in him . . .

Does everyone have a little magic in them? Even if they are Muggles?
And if not, how did magic start?
I think we do (outside the books), but within my books-- do you
really think there's any magic in Uncle Vernon? Magic is one of those
odd talents which some have and some don't.

Ok, enough. If you agree with me let me know, or throw it into one of
those eloquent TBAY's :o)

This is where I get my list of interviews:
