I have a question. In the Chamber of Secrets, Riddle tells Harry that
he poured a bit of his soul into Ginny. (pg. 310 in the US edition.)
When Harry destroyed the diary, did it destroy the bit of Riddle's 
soul
that had been poured into Ginny or could she be a horcrux? Your
thoughts?

JKR: Well, I'm prepared to bet you now, that at least before the

JKR: Harry definitely destroyed that piece of soul, you saw it take 
shape, you saw it destroyed, it's gone. And Ginny is definitely in 
no way possessed by Voldemort.

MA: Is she still a parselmouth?

JKR: No.
