Post J.K.Rowling discusses Harry Potter's fate (spoilers!) (UPDATED)

USA Today has a new interview with J.K.Rowling in which she discusses Harry Potter's fate in Deathly Hallows, those 2 much-publicised unintended deaths, whether she'll write another novel within the same world and the spoilers that found their way onto the internet prior to July 21st.

The spoiler-free version of the interview can be read here. The interview containing book 7 spoilers can be read here.

SPOILER!!: "In the early days...
everything was up for grabs," she says. "But early on I knew I wanted Harry to believe he was walking toward his death, but would survive."


SPOILER!!: "I was very proud that...
people thought Harry's death was a genuine possibility. I was very proud, because my story had to make the possibility of death real. I wanted the reader to feel that anyone might die, as in life."


J.K.Rowling also went on to reveal who were the 2 much-publicised unintended deaths.

SPOILER!!: Revelation
"Fred (Weasley, brother of Harry's friend Ron), Lupin (a former teacher at Hogwarts, the school for wizards and witches that Harry attended) and Tonks (Lupin's wife) really caused me a lot of pain," Rowling says.

"Lupin and Tonks were two who were killed who I had intended to keep alive. … It's like an exchange of hostages, isn't it? And I kept Mr. Weasley (Ron's father) alive. He was slated to die in the very, very original draft of the story."


In regards to writing another novel about the world, she says,

SPOILER!!: "I truly...
have no desire to do that," she says, "and I feel it would be an enormous anticlimax. After the arc of the Voldemort story, what could match up?"

That, she says, would require creating a new supervillain. And to revisit Harry's story would be "continuing it for the sake of continuing it. I don't feel that's (another battle of good vs. evil) what happened in Harry's life. I think Harry gained peace. He got what he always wanted, which was a happy family."


Jo also spoke about spoilers that made their way onto the internet prior to the publication of the book.

Quote:
"I felt angry," she says, her voice getting louder as she talks about it. "I knew it was about other people's egos." She says she was concerned for her young fans, the "10- and 11-year-olds who really wanted not to know" how the book ended until they'd had a chance to read it.

"The (leak of the) epilogue upset me most," she said. "I had been working toward that point for a long time. I did have a sense-of-humor failure when the epilogue went up."
J.K.Rowling finishes by saying she is currently working on two projects - "One is for children and the other is not for children."

UPDATE: An audio from this interview can be found here.

I felt so bad with Fred's, Lupin's and Tonks's deaths. I really wanted the Lupins to enjoy life, especially Remus. But now the three marauders are together, and I'm sure Lilly and Tonks are having the time of their deaths together.

I can't believe it! First to post!

it was a good choice, even though it was dreadful, for those who had to die.
i'm glad she kept the main characters alive. too bad lupin & tonks had to die though.

I'd be angry too if I wrote that book and the epilogue leaked!

*Cries*

This is why I kept away from any where I knew there would be possible spoilers and wouldn't listen to those who talked about them. The book wasn't ruined for me....

I just wish she'd write more HP stuff.... I'm still overly depressed by the fact that it is truly over... I don't know what to do with myself other than submerge myself completely in H/D fanfiction.

*Cries more*

i got really mad and upset about the spoilers also. i would even hate it more if it was about a book that I had written. but I loved it all the same (probably because I didn't read them)

I was very angry when I learned that someone had stolen the book and posted plot details all over the internet.

However, I was even more angry when some jerk that I know and his brother took white t-shirts and wrote spoilers all over them in big, black letters, and then wore the shirts to the midnight release of the book!

They were upsetting a lot of people, so I told one of the employees. Five minutes later, security was showing both of them the door.

Ha!

I was really upset too! Today, I was just searching up some stuff at google.com, and saw that a certain website had all the information on Deathly Hallows! It was very, very humiliating; it had all the info on the horcruxes, who will live and die (including Harry and Voldemort), the secret of the traitors, and the others! I know Jo's feelings.

If I were the writer I definetly would have been as upset as her. I hope the people who posted the ending feel guilty.

I wish those characters who died hadn't, though that doesn't change the fact that I loved the book.

I wonder what are those projects she's working on...
