| | |  Release of Deathly Hallows will be an "eternal memory" for JKR
Newsround spoke to J.K.Rowling briefly on Friday prior to the release of Deathly Hallows and her subsequent midnight reading in London. Jo speaks about her journey, the release, spoilers and the future. Quote: How does tonight compare to some of the other highlights of the last 10 years of Harry Potter?
JK: Tonight has got to be up there. It's going to be one of my eternal memories of the whole thing. Today's really been a day to look back and remember how it used to be.
I've had many conversations with people like my American editor in New York. We've just been reminiscing about what it's been like over the past 10 years.
Quote: We've had a week full of people leaking things that they say are spoilers and the incredible secrecy that's built up around it.
JK: I think the two things feed off each other. We tried to protect the stories so that children particularly could reach them and enjoy the pleasure of reading the book. Therefore, inevitably, there are people who want to try and break the embargo.
You become locked into this horrible situation. I'm so grateful that nearly everyone kept to the embargo coz I've just sat in the middle of all these children and they're all saying "what happens, what happens?" and they don't know. That's miraculous really!
The whole thing can be read here.  | |

It really is wonderful that so many people have, throughout the whole series, been able to discover what happens on their own. It's awful to have someone ruin it for you - much more fun to be shielded from the spoilers and to read it on your own, at your own pace! | |

True fans don't spoil, and we don't go looking for evil spoilers either! The best part is the anticipation!

That's great! 
__________________ 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. | |
