| | |  Sneak peek at JKR's interview on Jonathan Ross (UPDATED)
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."
For more appearances by J.K. Rowling, go here to view the full list.
Thanks to HPANA UPDATE: The BBC has a new quote from the interview in which Jo reveals that the last word in Deathly Hallows is no longer "scar". Quote:
"Scar? It was so for ages, and now it's not. Scar is quite near the end, but it's not the last word."

Awe! 
I think she probably has it worest, since she's the one who wrote these books, and their ending. *Sighs* HP Shall live on, new books or not.

Maybe she won't kill Hermione! If she did, it could be sucide in a way... hopefully she won't kill her... God, I'm tearing up in my eyeballs and waiting... for the freaking book...

If we, the readers, are very sad that it is coming to an end, how more sad must the author be? We'll all get to know her feeling soon.

Aw, it must be so sad to let go of something after so many years and something that has affected your life and countless others in tremendous ways.

Poor J.K....it's really tough for her to put an end to HP. But HP will never really end. Its story will live forever in the hearts of its fans...us.

I am sooo scared at reading the last book that I can't stand it. One minute I'm ready to see what happens and then the next, if I don't read it, then it will never happen. I cried when Sirius and Dumbledore left us and now I wonder who I will cry over next!! Quote:

That is a scary statement! I hate it when she says stuff like this! I need to get the tissues ready!

*huggles JK* Even though I know I'll be sobbing my heart out when I finish reading DH I can't even imagine what it was for JK to finish writing it 
Only imagining her alone in a hotel room crying almost makes me cry too | |

I'd do that too! *Nods* It's hard letting something go that you worked on for a long time.

I guess she's really upset with killing off the characters. We'll see how it goes...
