Sandy:
A week or so after the book was released I watched, and taped, an  
interview she did with one of the major USA networks, and can't  
remember which it was.
<snip>
The very next day she did a live  chat on the internet, was asked the 
same question, but this time she gave  a different answer. 

Potioncat:
If I'm thinking of the same  interview, I agree that was a big 
mistake, which makes no sense at  all.

And if it was the same interview, it wasn't live--the network one,  I 
mean. I don't know how long before it had been filmed, but it wasn't  
live. So there may have been more time than one day between the  
network interview and the live chat. Still---Ron'network interview and t
mistake. Did we ever find out which one was correct? (I was sure he  
would be a Healer!)
 
Sandy responds:
 
I didn't mean to mislead, I was aware of the fact that  the interview had 
been taped the previous week. It just happened that the  interview was aired one 
day and the live chat took place the following day. So,  no, it wasn't that 
she had changed her mind overnight; it was about a week. But  the timing wasn't 
the point; the change was. Did she forget? Did she change her  mind? Either 
way, it was unforgivable. By the time she finished the epilogue she  should have 
decided, and known, what their professions were, and stuck to it.  And, no, 
*I* never found out which one she decided to stick with.
 
 
 
 
 
 



Sandy:
She had also changed the statement about Luna. In the  interview Luna 
was not married, in the live chat Luna was married to  Whoever 
Scamander.

Potioncat:
In the interview I saw, she was  asked if Luna and Neville got 
together. She seemed surprised and said that  was a good idea, or 
something like that, but didn't indicate who they had  married if 
anyone. But I don't recall her saying that Luna hadn't  married.
 
Sandy again:
 
I honestly don't remember if it was the same interview,  but she clearly 
stated that she imagined Luna was traveling the world searching  for strange and 
unusual creatures, and she did not mention her being married;  that came in a 
later interview.
 
 
 

Potioncat:

I tried to find a link for the Dateline interview that I  think you 
may be referring to. I have a link to the actual video of  it----I 
think. But I couldn't find a transcript.

(http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/21134540/#20037150)  
 
This is the link to the Dateline video where she talks about Harry and Ron  
being aurors. It does not include what she said about Neville and Luna. It was  
the only video I could find that was relevant to this discussion, and I am 
not  aware of a written transcript. I have been unable to find a record or 
transcript  of the live chat, but it was then that she changed Ron to working at 
the  shop.
