she seems kinds tired

[gaypanda]

well this interview doesn't tell you any more about quidditch than the first book, better to buy Quidditch Through The Ages by Kennilworthy Whisp

(Harry Potter's School Boooks by J.K. Rowling) About $4 - $6 but you can also get Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them by Newt Scamander for most of the Harry Potter Creatures plus others.

@dylanisdeathly I know this is an old comment but this interview is from the year 2000 I'd say, years before the release of book 7! i.e. 2000 when she was in the middle of a breakdown writing GoF, hence looking tired. How do people not notice that she looks very different to this now (and did in 2007)!?

@awesomebexster America is a country like any other, full of good and bad people just like yours. Stop making sweeping generalizations. Americans love this just as much as you Brits.

@awesomebexster

A bit rude, don't you think?

[michaeljfreak]

The interviewer has not even tried to read the books.

@1928WaltDisney I know that. I'm saying that I think that the snitch ending the game is realy stupid. I think it should be a timed game or something with the snitch as a huge bonus!

[1928WaltDisney]

@clampfan101 It still ends the game but the other team will still win

[clampfan101]

but what if you're more than 150 points behind?

[6045310708]

i always thought she made the snitch worth too many points. i think the game would work better if it was worth less, otherwise 90% of the time chasers are useless
