J.K. Rowling will appear on
'Friday Night with Jonathan Ross' on July 6th, on BBC. However, fans can read
a snippet from the interview where Rowling talks about writing the last chapter of
Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows.
Quote:
"Finishing the book is a relief. I can't think of anyone who could know how I felt. Actually finishing it was the most remarkable feeling I've ever had... [I felt] euphoria, devastated, when I finished one chapter near the end I absolutely howled, it had been planned for so long.
"I was in a hotel room on my own, sobbing my heart out. I downed half a bottle of champagne in one and went home with mascara all over my face. It was really tough."
She also disclosed that Hermione, the heroine of the series, is based on herself and said: "I was quite swotty when I was a kid."
