CBBC Newsround has an interview with JKR on their site! Read the whole thing HERE(or click Read More). It is from Saturday, the book release.

I’m very happy tonight; this is my favourite book of the series, so that is the best way to end this. Whether people like it or not, I really like it. As a writer, when you strip it all back, that’s what it’s about.

Well, I’m sure you will hear from me again but at the moment I’m saying, and I mean it, I really would like to take a break for a while and I think I probably need to because this has been so massive. I probably need not to do it for a while and get some perspective back into life.

JK Rowling has been approached to write a greek myth on hero Orpheus. Publishers from Canongate want to have her amongst the celebrity writers to write greek myths. Rowling who studied Greek and Roman mythology at university has shown interest but didn’t want it public so that it clouded the launch of the final Harry Potter book.

MSNBC has a new interview out with none other than JK Rowling!

“Harry’s story comes to a definite end in book seven,” is all she will say a few days before publication, serving up tea and home-baked sponge cake in her comfortable Edinburgh house. Writing the final words of the saga felt “like a bereavement.”

Rowling predicts that some of Harry’s fans will dislike “Deathly Hallows.” But she is proud of it. “The final book is what it was always supposed to be, and so I feel very at peace with that fact,” she says.

“I’ll do exactly what I did with Harry — I’ll write what I really want to write, and if it’s something similar, that’s OK, and if it’s something very different, that’s OK.
