[the_old_crowd] HBP interview

[ewe2]

There once was a penguin of somewhere

Who tried to write limericks as spoilers

He didn't have time

To make sure things rhymed properly

And incurred the wrath of some deadly sheep who happened to be passing.

Don't read this.

It might spoil the fun of reading a book you have had for *five* days now and
*still haven't finished*. Do it NOW before deadly sheep come YOUR way!!!

Not really. She ducks the question rather expertly. If we want to think
ESE!Snape we have something to point at, but if we want to think
Suspicious!Harry we also have something to point at. Trusting!DD has been
around for a while, too. If you mean that DD really does *not* have a
confidante in Snape, it does tip the scales, but we don't know enough to be
sure.

Yes, but...she really _doesn't_ answer the question. WHY did Voldy give her a
choice? What's the point, if all he was intending to do was to kill her after
Harry? A lot of waffle about James rushing in, but that wasn't the question.

And they say it's only a 10th of the full interview. Wicked. I don't think
we're getting any interview for quite a while after this. Perhaps after the
next movie where she might be forced to do *some* press, if only for the DVD.

ewe2, penguin of mystery muhahaha
