The interviews drive me crazy. It reminds me of when I have to hand a graded essay back to a student. It's fine to talk about all the extra stuff you know in our interview, and where you had planned to go with the essay - but if it's not *in* the essay, then I can't give you marks for it. She did it quite a bit post DH, didn't she? About Hermione's career, and things like that?
The house unity thing is a particular bugbear of mine, because it's like she simply forgot about it. I'd have thought that, in a children's book, the notions of integration, tolerance, unity, etc. would have been some important ideas to put across. Not to mention that it would have made the plot make more sense! Gah!
