MuggleNet Throwback: Oprah interviews J.K. Rowling

by Keith Hawk · October 5, 2011

Last year at this time, the talk on MuggleNet and from Potter fans around the world was surrounding the Oprah Winfrey interview of Harry Potter author J.K. Rowling.

MuggleNet provided complete coverage that you can read right here.

Some of Jo’s more memorable quotes:

– “The books wouldn’t be what they are if she [her mother Anne] hadn’t died. At least half of Harry’s journey is dealing with death. It’s there on every single page. if she hadn’t died I don’t think it is too strong to say there wouldn’t be Harry Potter.”

– “I could easily write an eigth or ninth. I feel I am done, but you never know.”

All of us at MuggleNet were extremely excited for this interview and we were not at all disappointed. What were your thoughts on the interview? Leave us your comments below.
