I totally agree!!!  I sat up till midnight here in NZ with bated 
breath & was very disappointed at some of the questions - couldn't 
believe that some of them were school winners! I mean that one about 
the brooms being riden backwards - come on!!! There were heaps that 
had been asked in previous interviews too, two examples being which 
character JK identified with, and what animal her patronus would 
resemble. 

I so wanted more indepth character & plot questions answered. Do you 
think they purposely chose the bland ones?

Cheers,
