| | |  New Interview with Mary GrandPre
Mary GrandPre, the illustrator for the Harry Potter series, gave an interview to the Detroit Free Press about her career, Harry Potter, and her life/career post-Potter. Quote:
Mary, who lives in Sarasota, Florida, says she got the manuscript for Book Seven in January. That means she's known how the story ends for about six months. Is it hard to keep the secret? Do friends, family members or kids at bookstore signings press her for details? "Not really so much," Mary says. "I think people just know that I can't talk about it."
Quote:
One question Mary does get a lot is: "Who's your favorite character?"
"Besides Harry, I would say Hagrid is my favorite character," Mary says. In fact, Mary has a dog named Chopper that reminds her of Hagrid. He's a doggie mix: part St. Bernard, part collie, part lab. "He's a big, wonderful, lovable mutt," Mary says. He's also her real-life inspiration for the loveable giant, Hagrid.
Quote:
Does Mary have a favorite book cover from the series? "I think the last one is my favorite," Mary says.

Lovely interview
__________________ I gotta go back to the muggle world,
they're gonna try and tell me this wasn't, that none of this happened,
but you know what? It was real. It did happen.
We spent time here. We made friends here. That's a part of us.
Cause Hogwarts is bigger than any of us, of any of it's founders,
and it's going to be around long after we're gone.
Maybe we'll see our kids come here one day.
That's the thing about Hogwarts.
No matter how long you're away from it, there's always a way back. | |

That's so cool!  you know, if you think about it, Hagrid does sort of remind you of a big fluffy dog doesn't he? "C'mere Hagrid! Here boy!!"  :litebulb: Just a thought....about Hagrid's patronus, it wouldn't happen to be a dog would it??? we'll never know since the snapped off his wand.... | |
