While reading at the White House today JK Rowling answered some questions from fans about the Potter series. Here are her answers to some of them (this is not exact wording as I couldn’t hear very well):
Do you plan on writing more? “I do and I am… Sometime in the not too distant future I will bring you another book and it will not be Harry Potter.” Who is your favorite character? Apart from Harry, Ron, Hermione, are Hagrid, Dumbledore, Lupin, and Snape. Would you want Dobby or Winky as a house elf? Neither, because they are “creepy,” and she would rather set them free. What is your favorite Harry Potter book? Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows. How did you come up with Harry Potter? Looking at cows out a train window and said to herself, “Boy who doesn’t know he’s a wizard goes to a wizarding school.” Who did you think of after Harry? Hermione because the book started in a totally different way before. It was going to start with an explosion at Harry’s house in Godric’s Hollow. Hermione’s father, their next door neighbor, ran outside and saw Harry being taken from the rubble. Hermione remembers her father telling her the story when she first meets Harry.
Last nights episode of NBC’s Celebrity Apprentice featured a task to create a realistic three-dimensional preview of the Wizarding World of Harry Potter. Watch the full episode below:
Just a quick reminder to everyone that tonight’s episode of The Celebrity Apprentice will feature a challenge where the task is to “create a three-dimensional display to launch a theme park’s new attraction.”
The show airs on Sunday at 9pm EST, check your local listings for the time in your area!
I decided to stay with the Snitch theme this week!
About: This is the Harry Potter Golden Snitch Sticker Kit that was available, and may still be, in Borders and Walenbooks as well as other stores. It comes in a small box, with a sticker book, snitch body, wings and a stand. When you take it out of the box you just stick the wings on the snitch, put it on the stand, and it’s done!
Design: I love that this snitch comes with its own wooden stand, and the stand is as fun as the snitch itself. And the snitch has such a simple design, but it’s perfect!
Value: This item has such a great value, it is $8.95 retail and you can find it a lot cheaper on eBay and Amazon and it is great quality! This is definitely a must buy for people who want a good quality item for a cheap price. It’s a steal! Once again, I advise purchasing one to keep in mint condition and another to display and play with!
