Harry Potter author JK Rowling gave her only magazine interview to Time magazine and they have posted the interview online (the issue goes on sale on Tuesday). In the interview Rowling discusses life, Potter, romance and how the role of fathers play in the books: "I realize that it's kind of a litany of bad fathers. That's where evil seems to flourish, in places where people didn't get good fathering."
Some of the interview is below:
On the books:
On romance:

Ron's hormones get fuller play in book six. Basically it dawns on Ron that Hermione's had some action, Harry's had some action and he's never got close!
On writing the Harry Potter books:

I'm that that Phoenix wasn't any shorter than it was because I would read all the books even if they were 2000 pages.

I'm actually happy with the number of pages Half-Blood Prince has (607), because it will be completely to the point. Not like OotP, I did feel a kind of drag reading 'Phoenix'.
The story should be excellent, that's whats important.

Haha...
Oh yeah - Ron really got some action in book 6. Too much, even. I'm gonna be sad when the series is over, but at least I'll know how everything turns out, right?
