Stephen Fry asks about the relationship between Harry and Voldemort and J.K. Rowling firmly rejects the suggestion that he is Harry's father ("that's a Star Wars question") and promises they won't turn out to be Darth Vader and Luke Skywalker.

Reminder: Be sure to tune into BBC Radio 4opens in new window Saturday, December 10th, 9:00 AM (GMT) to hear the full half-hour interview. Additionally, you can listen to BBC 4 live on their website streamopens in new window, if you have Real Player and happen to be awake at that hour.

Voldemort...Harry's father...I think not. I mean, they don't even look the same, Harry doesn't look like a snake. Plus, everyone is saying that Harry looks so much like his father, and acts so much like him. Well, anything could happen, but not this. I wish I could hear this on the radio though, that would be so cool.

I love the Star Wars reference! I love Star Wars. I never thought Voldemort was Harry's father. Everyone always says how much Harry looks like James.

Haha, I love it when people try and connect HP to Star Wars...it's a great flick, but I mean not every story is gonna follow that pattern. Star Wars follows the Hero Wheel almost exactly, but that's because George Lucas is a big Mythology nut and loved the myth and bible course he took in college... that doesn't mean every story is going to be like that! Modern hero stories don't have the 'father atonement' part of the wheel so much...

I was surprized by him, Stephen Fry doesn't know she answered the whole star wars rubbish on her website! Ick I hate people who refer these two to each other.
