EEEEEE! yay! News! *does happy dance* Finally! I wonder how far along 'well into it' is.
2 more people die?! I wonder who got the reprieve! And, i wonder what she considers to have boxed herself in previously.

Ooooo...I can't wait until the final book comes out. I just can't even imagine what will happen. Every time I try to make assumptions, they are always wrong with the other books, so I will just refrain this time. :o)

Sorry about the second comment, but I can't belive that she would be willing to kill harry in the seventh book!!!! She better no!!!! Yet, it is actually nice that she might be killing Harry because someauthor might want to steal her story and write more. Well, lets see what happens.

Or maybe she will write it so that the green goblin captures Gwen Stacy, right before she kills his father. When Spiderman comes to rescue her, then she is already killed, green goblin thou are evil.
Let us hope that it is only the teachers that will die: many school-boys inner dreams.
Macgonigal, Hagrid, a weasley parent or someone other.
Someone from the trio: how about No Scotty

Whoa. Two more people are dying. I am truly scared now.
Also, I think that it is very scary to think she would kill off Harry just to keep others from writing about him. That would really cheapen his death, if that were the case. I sincerely hope she wouldn't do such a thing.

Its really good to finally get some details about Book Seven. I am really hoping that she releases a title soon. I'm really glad to hear that she is well into the writing, this sounds like we can hopefully get the 2007 release we have been rooting for.

And she will.
I don't like it when she kills off so many characters! Harry needs to go though but others didn't *cough* Sirius *cough*
I do wish her luck on the final book and edits. She did start the final chapter the year I was born!!

Wow! 2 more deaths? Great. I hope they aren't main characters, although knowing Jo they probably are. I just hope it isn't Harry. I can't wait much longer for Book 7!!

If she kills anyone from the trio I will curse her. Where do they sell those vodoo dolls? Can't she get a patent on it or something so that other people can't write about it. And what's with the two killing extra? There's only so many main characters-hopefully it's Neville and Luna I can deal with that just not the trio.

Harry's king in my book. Ron is ok. I hope Hermione or Bellatrix don't go.
I hope Ginny dies. That would automatically make it my favorite book in the series. Die, Ginny, die! =]

That's really interesting. The statement about Harry can't be taken too seriously because she wouldn't give it to us that easily. I almost think it is more of an indirect confirmation that Harry won't die.

It sounds as though JK is progressing well with book 7, I do hope that she doesnt kill off any of the main characters, I know it would seem like an easy way to protect her storyline, but I think it would be terrible if HP died.

[b]She would be willing to kill Harry in order to prevent future authors from writing sequels[b]
Okay, I always thought Harry would die, but her saying that now makes me think he WON'T die. She's probably only saying that to make people think he'll die, then she'll surprise everyone.
Well, I hope Harry doesn't die. I love Harry. Kill Ron. He annoys me greatly. He acts like a real brat sometimes.
I wonder how many deaths were originally planned. I'm guessing more than one. And now 2 more. I definitely think one of the Weasleys, besides Ron, will die. Can't wait for the book. It'll be great even if she kills off everyone(except Harry)

I just wonder how many people are going to die in the last book. It is good, to atleast, hear that she is well into the last book. Unfortunately with it not finished, the summer release in 2007 is looking very unlikely.

Okay, for deaths will be Avery and Wormtail...that doesn't upset anybody, right? Reprieve will be Snape.
I would rather not hear her say anything about the book than all these tantilizing clues that we have to wait for!

Oooh it was so good! Robyn almost forgot! Erm..anyhoo..this one girl, said she had read all the books, but to explain a boggart, she said something along the lines of..'When you say a spell in front a cupboard, it comes out and turns into the thing you're most scared of.'
Well, the end is right, but..the beginning..we think she just saw the films.And, a boy who admitted he hadn't read the books!!
?!?!
Richard, Judy. Get real fans next time.

I'm going to be very sad when I read about the deaths. I'm suspecting that the trio will die. All of them.

MWbashfulAR says:
Okay, in light of what Rowling said about the reprieve, let me post the following --
Reprieve: A pardon is the forgiveness of a crime and the penalty associated with it. It is granted by a sovereign power, such as a monarch. Clemency is an associated term which is the lessening of the penalty of the crime without forgiving the crime itself. The act of clemency is a reprieve. Today, pardons and reprieves are granted in many countries when individuals may have been wrongly convicted of a crime or have demonstrated that they have fulfilled their debt to society.
I think we can all be certain that the only person who fits this description perfectly is Snape. I think Rowling has assured us all that we are correct in thinking he is still batting for the good side.

Oh my gosh, this is so exciting! Lots of book 7 details! It is sad to think about those two more deaths. I really hope it's not Harry, Ron, or Hermione, but that's just wishful thinking. I do think that one of them may be killed off. Anyhow, I'm still excited about the last book (it's one of those bitter/sweet situations).
And I hope she doesn't kill Harry just so future authors wouldn't write sequels to HBP. I don't know about most other people, but I would never read an HP book written by another author! It wouldn't be the same...
I wonder what she regrets writing into the books...
