Lilian:

In some of the latest posts more listees have mentioned that COS is 
supposed to be important to the whole series, because JKR said or 
hinted so. And now I can add Kneasy's comment to that. But is there 
someone who knows when or where JKR has said such things (apart from 
the COS DVD) that suggest that COS is so important or even gives 
something away?
I'm currently working my way through COS again (just gotten it back) 
and all the interviews at quick-quill but my oh my, that's quite a 
lot. So if someone knows the exact interview and could tell me, I'd 
really appreciate it. To avoid burdening the forum with replies, 
please send it to my email adress.
