J.K. Rowling at USA Today - Extended Interview with the cast (September 25, 2018)

[@BeccadiFelton]

I just LOVE how they all let JK talk. They truly listen to her. It's beautiful. Such a beautiful cast.

[@valentinonoah8302]

I guess I'm quite randomly asking but do anybody know of a good website to stream new series online?

[@futurez12]

@Anjali D Because that gives you the right to speak first? Dude, you probably shouldn't have that mindset. She's no better than anyone else. Money doesn't give _anyone_ the right to speak first.

I re-read the book series 3 times in totality until I started listening to the Jim Dale audiobooks non-stop. Now as an adult during the pandemic, I've been able to re-vist the books from an adult perspective and see them from the pure genius they are and diving deep into the depths of these stories.

[@crappymcdick]

That's what happened with me and the movies, which inspired me to start reading the books for the first time (Recently started Chamber of Secrets.)

[@timrob12]

Can I point out that in THIS video J.K. Rowling CONFIRMS that it was she who (co) wrote The Cursed Child? I know a lot of people have been saying it's not canonical 'cause she didn't write it, but here we do get the confirmation that it is canonical (well, sort of).

[@jacksonmcnuggets7488]

Yes and no, and I have a feeling she left all the inconsistencies in to show us that a sequel will always be nothing close to the original and getting fans like me more excited for FB

[@ikexbankai]

She said she was interested in the character Albus and because she was interested in that character she had ideas about where she could take it. To said in this video that she past those notes on. She’s saying in that sense she co-wrote it. So I’m thinking after she passed on her notes and ideas she really didn’t have much to do with the writing of it

[@timrob12]

It's canon. www.snitchseeker.com/harry-potter-news/j-k-rowling-says-harry-potter-and-the-cursed-child-should-be-considered-canon-101221/

I feel like Eddie Redmayne is the one who knows the most of the Harry Potter trivia out of the cast not Ezra, just my impression from him and his answers.

@Ennaliya Jude Law knows the most about Dumbledore that's it. Also I didn't say he does or doesn't I said that was my impression that's it. -___-

[@PippiPippi98765]

I was so happy to finally go watch the Grindewald movie, but I must admit the movie was quite a dissapointment to me. No real story in it - as the 1. FB movie had - loved that one. This movie was more about introducing connections to older storylines from HP than focusing on it's own story. I thought Grindewald would be kind of a dangerous character, but was almost boring.. Hope the next one will be better...

[@zod5399]

I was trying to find an interview where JK somehow explains the huge plotholes they created with the new movie :(

[@THEORDEROFSTARS]

Maybe Grindelwald killed Ariana to obtain her obscurus. Making him more than brother with Grindelwald. Not gayfriends.. just friends turned enemy. And albus had a beautiful luv with Geldert Lockhart, cause come one, why the hell else would you put up with that guy? Although Albus his true luv is Dodge, I think.

[@p0llenp0ny]

Rowling is batshit crazy.

[@RadagonTheRed]

They talk about Rowling like she’s the equivalent of Dickens or Steinbeck. But she just isn’t. They inflate her ego massively by comparing her to Einstein and it’s just not true. I love and adore the Wizarding World but they must stop speaking of her like she’s some sort of megasavant.

[@PK-cz3vm]

Also, remember who you are. An anonymous troll who lives in his mother's basement. Rowling is one of the most successful female authors of all time.

[@happilyeveralien]

Einstein wasn’t considered a genius either to the extent he is today. So yes, she actually is - and she doesn’t try to be anything else than a writer with philosophical thoughts and questions, basically just normal. (And a huge fantasy) But by being who she is so authentically she appears to us as an idol, inspiring and with lots of power through her choice of words. Einstein has haters too ;)

[@kevinzhang3313]

She and everyone around her knows what she is, in truth, she didn't fucking ask for overpraise, give it a break! Does HP rank among one of the mpst sophisticated, fascinatingly structured literature with innovative techniques? If you read a variety of novels and have an open mind, of course you wouldn't agree, with confidence. But the worldx imagination, something about that, the unsaid skill...something Great novelists can appreciate as Stephen king did and people are people and they'll naturally praise them as such, people need to stop throwing tantrums when people react differently than you agree

[@kejiri3593]

Einstein was insanely overrated to begin with. He didnt really invent e=mc2, some other scientists before him did, all he did was publish it

[@abyhjp666]

I don’t understand why interviewers stick to the cliche that JK is “in the background”. She’s almost literally in every newspaper I open... she’s defiantly not a solitary writer. Probably the most publicized, interviewed, documented writer to have ever lived! Such a cliche. I read all her books but decided not to buy the latest Lethal White because her writing have become so annoying and unenlightening since Half-Blood Prince. There are many many other and better writers. Don’t waste your time on Rowling’s cash-grab machine.

[@joewhitehead3]

abyhjp666 Since Half-Blood Prince? What about Deathly Hallows?

[@abyhjp666]

Joe Whitehead Hogwarts was Rowling’s ingenious creation. It’s the thing that allowed the characters to breathe and the plot to take off. Deathly Hallows didn’t have Hogwarts, therefore everything felt hollow. The only chapter I liked in it was “The Prince’s Tale”, which was a retrospective to life in the castle and I thought the technique of the little changing scenes was effective and ingenious. But later on I realized that it was done in Six Feet Under finale which where Rowling must’ve borrowed it from.

[@joewhitehead3]

abyhjp666 Well for me, Deathly Hallows was the best one in the series. Yes, Hogwarts was Rowling’s ingenious creation, but I actually like the idea of Harry, Ron, & Hermione heading out on their own into the real world with no one or nothing to depend on but each other. It added a sense of maturity & realism

[@abyhjp666]

Joe Whitehead We could argue about plot choices for ever. My problem with Rowling is her commercialism. It’s distasteful and removes all her literary achievement. Her recent creative decisions (the original movies, the play, the spin-off, Potter website) are probably an investment to reduce her tax. Again, there are much better writers out there in terms of the craft who also have the moral and the integrity to stop grabbing cash from “fans”. Her followers are basically held captive under her influence. If she asks them to commit a communal suicide some of them will do it. I wish people would wake up because this is how the tyranny of 21st century looks like: a TV show and a smily face. She may have started with good intentions but it had gone wrong since. Power corrupts and she’s not immune

[@joewhitehead3]

abyhjp666 I think that’s a little bit dramatic. I mean, she’s always having new ideas that she just wants to share. & she loves it to, I don’t see anything wrong with that, do you?
