OOP?:Possible "fan" quote broken link?

No: HPFGUIDX 56585

First of all, I did miss about a week and a half of HPFGU about the 
time people were searching for the "death of a fan" quote, so I 
apologise if someone has posted this and I missed it.

I was trolling yahoo for JKR interviews and came across this 
intriguing quote from a student newspaper from The American Community 
School of Abu Dhabi.  The link is:

http://www.acs.sch.ae/Quill/archive/December02/content/features/order_
of_the_phoenix.html

The relevant paragraph is:

So what can we expect from this much-awaited
         book? In her interview with CNN, Rowling revealed
         the book as the longest of the series. She also said
         we would learn more about Lily Potter, Harry's
         muggle-born mother, and that a fan of Harry's would
         die. This `fan' is supposedly a relatively main
         character, and Rowling confessed that it was
         difficult for her to write the death scene. Remus
         Lupin, the Defence Against the Dark Arts teacher in
         The Prisoner of Azkaban, will also be back in the
         game, as will Arabella Figg, the Dursley's next door
         neighbor and friend of Harry's parents. We will also
         learn, says Rowling, why some wizards and
         witches come back as ghosts. 

Well! The only CNN interview that I can find is from the Larry King 
Live show of 10/20/2000, which definitely does *not* cover the 
information quoted above.  However, there is a short article of 
10/21/1999 which quotes JKR.  It almost seems to be *about* an 
interview with her.  The link for the short article is:

http://www.cnn.com/books/news/9910/21/rowling.intvu

There is nothing new here, either, BUT, next to it is a video link  
that looks like it would be for the full interview.  Unfortunately, 
either it is a dead link, or my computer/software can't handle it.  
Has anyone else tried this?  There seems to be no transcript, either.

Obviously, an interview from 1999 can NOT be the one referred to by 
the school newspaper above, since the author of the article knows that 
OoP will be the longest of the series, which is much more recent 
information.  However, it is the only trace of a CNN interview I can 
find other than the Larry King transcript, and I mention it here as a 
possible source of other HP information.  It also makes me wonder if 
there isn't *another* Rowling interview, which the school reporter did 
in fact read about or watch on CNN.

Are there any detective-minded listees among you that can take this 
any further?

who notes that, in her trolling for interviews, she has also never 
come across any that refer to Harry learning a lot more about Lily in 
book 5, and she's sure she had read that at some point in the past as 
well.  Are we losing interviews by cyber-death?
