Goddlefrood:

The above is interesting certainly, but does not really add too 
much to what many could have already inferred from previous 
interviews with JKR.

Nevertheless, certain people will no doubt be pleased, and I'm 
sure you all know who you are.

It would not surprise this poster too much if we see a few changes 
in the trend of answers on Tiger Patronus's recent bragging rights 
contest in light of JKR's appearance on the Woss show.

I would say that it does seem to suggest that a character or 
characters for whom JKR has a particular fondness will not be 
appearing as living entities in any possible future books on 
the wizarding world. One part of the interview is potentially 
good news, in that there may be more books, but again it's 
nothing JKR hasn't said before.
