Antosha:
Now, here's the thing: there are a whole slew of questions I'd love to ask that I know Jo
wouldn't answer, because they will (hopefully) be resolved in the last two books--the first
and third questions above almost certainly fall into that category.
I'm a big fan of Joseph Campbell (go see the Joseph Campbell Foundation's site at http://
www.jcf.org, if you don't know who he is), so I might ask her if her novels (individually and
as a series) follow the Hero Journey motif that Campbell laid out in Hero with a Thousand
Faces by intent, or just because she tells good stories. ;-)
Or I might get really specific: is there a significance to the various and varied
characters and creatures who share green eyes (Harry and Lily being the most obvious
examples), or does she just like that color???
