To add to the previous two interviews with author JK Rowling from earlier this week (which can be seen here
and here), Jo continues to answer questions about the last book Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows as well as discussing the lead-up to the creation of the series and more in an interview with Dateline (spoilers abound).
Additionally, actors Daniel Radcliffe, Rupert Grint, and Emma Watson discuss the books and Potter mania.
You can read the transcript online and view the interview at the links below:
UPDATE: You can read additional information from the interview where JK explains some of the finer points of the final book.

Although this was a really good interview (some of the answers were things she had already told us in the books), I still have a few unanswered questions. Not as wild as the middle names of Harry's great-great grandparents, haha.

I saw the interview and enjoyed watching it. Most of it was already on line but there was a little that we had not seen before.

I caught this tonight and was a little disappointed that a lot of it was footage they had already used on the Today Show earlier this week (which I suspected it might be, anyway). I was interested to learn a bit more about JKR's choices for the epilogue, what she had to say about Snape, and I was a little surprised to learn that Dan actually did have a little inside information on Harry in advance of book 7! He did a great job of hiding it in interviews during the OotP promotional tour, didn't he?! I totally believed that he knew nothing about Harry's fate!
I really hope we get a chance to hear more from JKR...at the very least I am praying we somehow get transcripts from her upcoming tour stops!

Maybe I didn't read the book properly but I still don't know what was Dudley's worst moment that the dementors made him relive.

Some of the interview was a recap of the stuff from earlier in the week. The rest was really great though!
I hope she keeps answering questions because, no, we will not rest until we know the middle names of all of the characters. ^_^

I loved reading the transcipt of the interview. I wish that Aussie TV stations would show a repeat of these American interviews. I am starved for anything down here!
Thank God for HPANA ...

That was a great interview. I loved how she seemed so pained when she spoke about a few of her characters. Not much mention of Snape though!

I'm still in shock that it's over. I just can't believe it. That really was a good solid interview, though, and I hope we (the obsessed) can look forward to even more answers.
