I've only just seen it.  Long-suffering Dad was under orders to video 
it for me (I'm all of 37) because I was at work.  I even rang him to 
ask him to do it.  No, I'm not obsessed.

When Jo said that a character had got a reprieve I went, 'Yes, Snape, 
please let it be Snape'.  Then she said that other characters were 
being bumped off.  I hoped she hadn't been fooling us into thinking 
Snape had no future only then to kill him off.  Although, now I've 
put that feeling into words the second interpretation doesn't make 
much sense as it would be expected, not unexpected. 

Judy is clearly a Harry/Ginny shipper, which I'm sure some fans will 
be really squeeing about.   But I noticed she mixed up the portraits 
of headmasters with Lockhart's portrait with his hair in curlers.

(Or I could be cynical and suggest she'd been given research for the 
interview.)

I was pleased to hear we're getting a lot of back story.

There wasn't much new in the interview for afficianados.  The kids' 
questions were predictable, but I expected that.

I'm glad JKR's written quite a lot of book 7.

I bet the biggest speculation after this interview will be the 
identities of the unexpected victim and survivor.

Just my two Knuts worth.
