Hey All,

I followed a link that was posted here recently to the CoS DVD 
interview that someone has been kind enough to transcribe on 
mugglenet.com. Here's the link, for any interested:

Anyways, as I was reading along, JKR said something that struck me 
immediately as supporting many of the Spymaster!Dumbledore theories 
that exist out there, from Magic Dishwasher and all of its eclectic 
spinoffs to others that I haven't gotten to yet.

I figured everyone who likes that sort of stuff, and almost everyone 
hanging out in the Safe House might appreciate the quote on its 
own. "Steve" is Steve Kloves, the screenwriter for the films, and 
he's talking about revealing information through characters. 

So, without further ado:

Steve:
Well, I like writing all three, but I've always loved
writing Hermione. Because, she's just one... she's a
tremendous character for a lot of reasons to a writer,
one being she can carry exposition in a wonderful way
because you just assume she read it in a book.

JKR:
Very true, I find that all the time in the books, if
you need to tell the readers something just put it in
her. There's really only two characters that you can
put it convincingly into their dialogue: One is
Hermione, the other one is Dumbledore. In both cases
you accept, it's plausible that they have, well
Dumbledore knows pretty much everything that's going
on anyway... but with Hermione that she read it in a
book. She's really handy that way.


"Well, Dumbledore knows pretty much everything that's going on 
anyway..." 

Hmmm. Could be applied in *SO* many exciting ways. ;-)

Enjoy,
Tom
