The young wizard returns to Hogwarts tonight at one minute past midnight as eager fans around the world line up to get a copy of Book 6, "Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince."
Readers have been champing at their wands wondering 'Will another character die'? After a long two-year wait, Author JK Rowling, says that yes, she does intend to kill more characters in this and future books. Sorry. But she says that she feels "really guilty" about the death of Harry's godfather, Sirius, in "Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix."
Rowling, now a billionaire and the best-selling modern author of all time, is a bit of a mystery herself. She shuns public life, declines interviews, doesn't do publicity tours or shill for her books. Not that she needs to -- Harry Potter sells itself. She leads a relatively anonymous life, and may someday rival J.D. Salinger as history's most famously reclusive writer.
, That being said, Rowling has agreed to appear with Katie Couric on NBC’s "Dateline" this Sunday, July 17th, and again on July 18th on the "Today Show". That should be good for some wizard insight. And she has been interviewed by a teen from Wales for a special for UK television, also on Sunday night, called "Harry Potter at the Castle: The JK Rowling Interview."
