J.K. Rowling on the Today Show (Part 2) -- Talking the final

[@HorseCrazyGrl167]

God, I just miss this time so much... waiting for the book, the euphoria of getting it, the experience afterwards... I miss it. Thanks for putting this up. Long live Potter.

[@laurandz]

a beautiful interview, and it was such a wonderful journey, reading all 7 harry potter books. i truly grew up with them, read the first one when I was 11 and finished reading when i was 17. the books WILL survive. they deserve to survive.

[@fornkly]

She's a really good interviewer, she really knew her stuff and asked very insightful questions

[@lau399]

What an amazing woman!! bless her!

[@historydad38]

j.k rowling is the reason that i started to read books on my own free time.

[@ha2009pty]

You have to adore her!... She's just great!

[@xxLoveMcFlyxx]

i love jo!! she's the awsomeest person ever! i cant get enough of her books... Griffindor: Where lay the bold at heart!

[@SexieEstie]

Aw i loved the ending! I'm a sentimentalist so it wld've been so unfulfilling and a bit crap not to see what happened. I s'pose cause it wasn't part of the main body of the book it hardly matters that much in reference to the plot. Thanks for uploading this! xxx

[@madbab00n]

hope the books will be like those alltime classics like lotr and that.

[@whenwefly]

wow what an awesome interview!

[@cupcake101]

Jo must really love Dan, Rupert and Emma when she talks about them. Look how happy all three of them are in this!!

[@iloveseattle123]

wow i still cant believe someone could think up a story like harry potter. just with all the twists and back stories and characters.. its crazy. i love u jkr!

[@mel9123]

she's so wonderfullllllllll!!!!!!!!! i love her... harry potter is an inspiration to me!!... it's my epic life!.. love ya JKR!!

[@aaronying4989]

Such fantastic person Rowling is! Amazing. And the interviewer Meredith is really great too. Some reporters are really horrible to JKR.

[@NekoChanSenpai]

I cant wait for the other 2 movies to come out! I can't wait 3-5 years for Year 7!

[@MusicIsMyLife39]

She is a genius! Can you imagine what kind of mind it takes to make such a masterpiece?

[@chocolatecauldrons]

Jo is so amazing.

[@youdontneedtoreadthis]

this book is already a classic, i can't imagine it being forgotten in 50 or even 100 years. our kids and grandkids will envy us for being able to witness the unfolding of JK's genius and experiencing all the excitement from the anticipation of the next book or the next film. harry potter made our childhoods such that no other kid before or after our time will be lucky to have

[@animexobsessed]

I absolutely adore the Harry Potter books. I think they've done the world a GREAT favor by getting kids interesting in reading again, hell, even getting teens and adults too. I will always be a fan, and I will NEVER stop hoping for another HP book. :P

[@EmmaCherina]

Of course everyone would SEE the lightning scar, but only those who knew and loved Harry would TRULY see it. The pain and the obstacles he has had to deal with are visible to them in the scar. Others could not see it on the same level as his loved ones could. I dunno if that made any sense.. Too bad they cut the explanation out..

[@rafagoatee]

I love these books and Harry Potter in general, I don't care what people think they are amazing and we are lucky to have experienced this phenomenon

[@Sarcasmize]

I remember I had to do a book report in 8th grade on a 'classic' (i.e. Moby Dick, Pride and Prejudice, Tom Sawyer, etc) and, having read my fair share of classics, I asked my teacher if I could do a Harry Potter book (I've read my fair share of the HP books too, but, you know... ;)). She turned to me and said, 'Yeah, alright. It's going to be a classic one day, anyway :D

[@liss8493]

Yer that was amazing! my fav bit!

[@TessIsabella12]

Basically, the only books I can read at home over and over again are the harry potter books. I've read them each like 10 times :)

[@SithNite]

movie 6 is goign to be released in july 7 is going to be filmes in 2 movies

[@SUPACARIBOO]

one question - if james and lily died in 1981, this means Harry was born in 1980, and if he was 17 when DH took place, it was 1998, but why were there nimbus 2000 and 2001s?

[@castostarlight]

Nice of the anchor to give a spoiler alert. Very decent of them.

[@patatas345]

i remember when i was in year three and i was like 7 and we used to muck about in lesson's but wherever it was reading time our teacher just had to say that it was that time quietly and we would all be sat on the carpet in front of her chair in seconds and we would all be silent and listen with rapt attention as she opened the Harry Potter books and led us into the wizarding world.

[@MrProgrampro]

Wow...what a great interview. Lol who else, upon hearing her ask what JKRowling would see in the mirror, thought "After all, it had been a very personal question." :D

[@xXPrincessRosalieXx]

Holy theboxofchox. You are amazing. *_* MAGIC IS MIGHT indeed!!

[@shrew246]

put it this way...in 100 years twilight will be forgotten.

[@zane98zane]

i was never a reader i had never completly read a book and payed attention to it intil harry potter ive read the siries 8 time in depth thanks j.k.

[@preposterous3637]

Long Live J.K. Rowling...my inspiration since the age of 8, and the only reason why I became so nerdy and curious.

[@ShadrakJohn]

She’s the only one that interests me with Harry Potter

[@worm0101]

i really feel that she really deserves the wealth that harry potter brought to her.

[@fuzluv95]

jk rowling always has been and always WILL be my favorite author ever! she is a complete genious! no doubt about it

[@liss8493]

no i loved the ending! the war was amazing!

[@liss8493]

im glad he lives too!

[@ilOVExHPx3]

i completely agree with you! i'll be telling every kid i know about them so they can love them as much i do =)

[@MikelFernandezBilbao]

Ok now... there is no way the Harry Potter series and the Twilight seres can be compared since they are totally different types of books aimed to totally differente demogrpahics. They only have in common how well they have been sold and that they have made many teens that would've never read, read. I just don't get this need of comparing them.

[@gregsimcock]

I created a story-board for a production I named Lord Of The Rings. That was my artwork, my set of drawings, my name and title. I drew the Harry Potter story-board artwork over many years. The drawing in which I first drew the girl named Hermione, the boy Harry, included three of the Olympic rings and several goal posts. They were raised up to connect with the three fully drawn Olympic rings. The Golden Snitch was begun with my first and last initial letters; G.S.! My art formed story-boards.

[@letsrock29]

what does she say when she says that dan asks? what did she tell him? i cant understand what she says

[@fantastischfish]

Draco, I think, is shown quite sympathetically in book 6 and 7. He cries in the girls' bathroom because of the pressure of what Voldermort has asked hime to do. In book 7, he refuses to identify Harry when he is presented at the Malfoys'. He grieves for Crabbe/Goyle (which ever) when he is killed in the Room of Requirement. Finally, the Malfoy's ultimate abandonment of 'the cause' in favour of finding their son shows they value love over the fight - something Voldermort will never understand.

[@AuratheDark]

Back to the Future was parted in 3 parts.

[@andrew5500]

in 500 years when the earth has been completely covered with water and no life exists sea plants will evolve into sea animals then to land animals then back to humans then they will find the cover of a Harry Potter Book and sacrafice blood over it and praise it for eternity........ ok maybe it's not that good but it's still a great book :)

[@ShamanKing471]

ikinda thought harry talked too much and voldy died too easily, but i still liked it overall, when is the next interview posted?

[@50patrice]

@bookworm123able Yes, I can be, but I am also correct. I'm comfortable with people thinking of me as weird. All that means is I'm comfortable speaking my mind, telling the truth, as well as my truth, not backing off of bullies, in person or on the internet, and I am absolutely clear about who I am. Plus, I manage all that without needing to be unkind, mean-spirited, or controlling. Yeah, I'm okay with weird:)

[@gregsimcock]

What story are you referring to that does not add up? Is it the one about me as a wizard boy who was fond of a girl maned Joanne who had her name changed to Hermione after I decided not to keep the name Joanne as my girl friends name as she was nine an I was older and later slid the sliding door of my van shut and from the name Hermann's Refrigeration on it I figured the name Hermione and wrote it on my story-board in place of Joanne then I went around my home calling out to Hermione. That's it!

[@Antoni4e]

well how do we know this?we must ask the author if someone knows how, I was reading on her page and she has given answers on questions just i don't know where should i ask a question, but i am a pretty sure that that are models i mean there weren't mentioned numbers of the other nimbuses so it must be just models:)

[@NekoChanSenpai]

Realy? I've never seen one of the Legendary Two Parters! I don't think they exist yet in movies, this might be the first. O.O

[@swimfan87]

@001Gryffindor Dude the last sentence is so funny! Good luck to you!

[@AnneDosBeauty]

@ellenaor u got that right i totally agree cuz we had to wate like about 3 years at a time for the next movie and our kids will just pop in a dvdor netflix or what ever isinvented by then

[@Pheonix7king]

@ohdeejay the author or the twilight series

[@50patrice]

@MyComicStyle Thank you. You should know ALL BOOKS you mentioned are on my favorites list:) For entirely different reasons, of course . . . (smile).

[@xxanimevampxx300]

@v10L3tt3 That comment was ultimately brilliant! Never compare wizards to vampires. Stephenie Meyer is talented.....just....I don't think she deserves a legendary title, like J.K. Rowling does. She's absolutely brilliant!

[@bananagram87]

i teared up when she talked about her mom... i would see my dad in the mirror

[@50patrice]

@MyComicStyle Why don't you borrow them from the public library? That way, if you don't like them, you just return them. If you do like them, you can buy them and add them to your permanent home collection.

[@50patrice]

@TheYALover Why compare them at all? They stand on their own.

[@xxanimevampxx300]

Whenever I pick up a harry potter book, I want to do so many other things, but I can't seem to put the damn thing down....Lol. I slept all day in class for a week, because I kept staying up to read >.

[@FredIsMyName22]

@ajay0813 No, a castmember of the Goblet of Fire was in twilight.

[@liss8493]

i suppose it was good that they showed u what happens in the future

[@somberlight]

guys, pay no attention to the ever-present madmen. there is one undeniable fact: if there is a valid case against the J.K. Rowling's works, it would be rather trivial to get it dealt with, posthaste. absolutely no big deal because the legal fees would easily be covered by the settling, so you'd be able to hire the best legal team ever. IF there's a case. there never is, and all we see from the fools is just spam all over youtube, never anything else.

[@drkiwitiger]

the final battle was awesome tho,,

[@morphor]

@schoonovere if you're going to do that add fantastic beasts and quidditch through the ages

[@harrypotterfans93]

oh wow cool thanks x

[@tapstar84]

harry potter is what started me reading when i was only like 8!!! and im 14

[@50patrice]

@bookworm123able I have no problem with you making your own points. That is your right. But your points should never trample all over others' rights. Your points shouldn't make you seem arrogant or that only your way is the right way. Your points are simply YOUR points. They don't exclude everyone else's opinions and/or points. Go back and read your posts, then imagine someone is saying those things to YOU. How would you feel? What would you say in response?

[@harrypotterfans93]

i dont know i was wondering that too

[@gregsimcock]

What does "Stolen" mean to you? It means my work on hundreds of stories and inventions, not just one set of stories, got thieved when they were pre-production story-boards. If you don't accept my work got stolen then think back when your property went astray and how you had to think who took it and where it was afterwards of the theft. That is impossible to know unless you later-on see your property somewhere and decide it's yours and take it back, but what if its a set of stories? Believe me.

[@50patrice]

@MyComicStyle And yet, when they were created they were not thought of as classics . . . it remains a case of "only time will tell . . .for we cannot say" I'm afraid you cannot say either:)

[@luigi7897897]

yea, thats wat every1 says. idk, i mite. im into war novels and stuff, so yea. but heck, i'll try!

[@xXPrincessRosalieXx]

Oops, I didn't mean to put it like THAT. Of course I've read the last book and have understood its message. It was amazing how she tied it all together...there was so much foreshadowing in the earlier books. I'm really impressed how Snape could have been either good or bad. But I still think he's a git to Harry, even though I KNOW what happened in his past. He's a hero, yes, but I want to slap him for being a git.

[@bookworm123able]

@50patrice you write so much! i didn't mean for it to go this bad! just making my own points!

[@alechertrocks]

One day kids will have harry potter as a required reading for school and I will be super jealous

[@luigi7897897]

i feel kinda bad that i have never read the books.

[@aislingcooney1371]

sorcerers stone is the american publication of the novel, everywhere else it the philosopher's stone. and where is your proof the she 'is a plagiarist' ?

[@harrypotterfans93]

yer thats what i thought caus they asked y poeple where staring and ron said it was him he is really famous which i thought was funny. so i dont think he told them yet. n i dont know what happend to Luna either i would like to find out though

[@harrypotterfans93]

i thought the ending was tacky 2!

[@AnneDosBeauty]

i hope she does a searies with harry hermione and rons kids at hogwartds

[@gregsimcock]

I really did get knocked out on the beach recently but that's another story!

[@xLucyWeasleyx]

They deserve to, Jo.

[@Biowoman.]

@theboxofchox YEAH! and besides people have grown up with HARRY POTTER! the actors grow up on set and we row up watching it so we feel like a part of it!!!!!

[@Jakota1993]

Survive history or not I am so telling my futur kids about Harry Potter the books and the movies !!!

[@MattParodies]

J.K Rowling is the only reason I read a book

[@AdubOwnsMyHeart]

I would see my mother in the mirror of erised too.

[@SoulOfStupid]

@kumaraisin Don't hate, appreciate!

[@Berserkern]

Please JK rowling, write a book about Voldemort!!!

[@ACompanyofSwans]

History WILL remember Harry Potter, J.K. Rowling!

[@specialness16]

I wonder is she was under pressure by the people who were making the film - because the actor's age in real life :P

[@panamanian911]

i hope she doesnt go back to harry potter... if she does, it's gonna lose it's power.. kinda like star wars. Still big out there, but lucas tries to hard

[@bookworm123able]

@50patrice I'm JUST saying that people don't have to bring their TWILIGHT comments into HARRY POTTER videos! Their only starting arguments between people!

[@somberlight]

if there's a case against her, you'd already have dealt with it up to its fullest extent. it should be trivial victory massing you millions. if there's a case. if. you're still here, that means only one thing.

[@harrypotterfans93]

2000th model or something? good question

[@solid220]

actually itll be 3 more movies the next one and the deathly hollows will be spit in two for your info lol

[@adesa1]

I think that the closest thing to a new harry potter book is at afterhogwarts . com I hope this helps....

[@xXPrincessRosalieXx]

Harry wouldn't do that...he's too good to learn some "dirty evil curse". That's what old Voldy would do.

[@rakion299]

looks not like it jo rowling has been writing sinds she was 5 i think that she really did write the original al by her self

[@somberlight]

i rest my case.

[@sexi2rude1]

@theboxofchox PREACH !....AMEN !

[@lilmiss0505]

So RRTolkin was inspired to write TLOTR after the wrote the book 'The Hobbit' in 1937.. did you write that one as well? before all the lord of the rings books which took him 10 years to write (during WW2 might i add) then after that great idea it took you 40 years to think up another idea to write about which again was stolen??? Serioulsy if your that good how come you havent written any other amazing books!?! I'm sure we would all love to see them!!!! AND serioulsy how old are you!!! like 110??

[@Sarcasmize]

Well now we all know you're lying. You do realise the original published title of the first book was 'Harry Potter and the PHILOSOPHER'S Stone', right? 'The Sorcerer's Stone' is the Americanized title.
