Complete transcript for Blue Peter interview

Meann and Jules have finished the transcript for the BBC Blue Peter show broadcast on July 20th! I love what she says about Neville and Luna, and about her fondness for Daydream Charms.

New canon:

• Trevor is just a toad.
• Albus Dumbledore was probably in love at some point in his life, though we shouldn't read too much into it.
• The time turners really were all smashed in the Ministry (she didn't want a Terminator like situation).

Blue Peter videos!

Mugglenet has posted (spoiler-free) videos of Jo's appearance on Blue Peter today. Enjoy!


Given the timing, we'll very likely need a few days to prepare a transcript.

Launch day coming! AQ staff have their quills at the ready

Accio Quote staff (me, Jules, Michael, Meann, Kadi and Kimmers) are ready to spring into action tomorrow to give you the highlights of today's Blue Peter interview ("Harry Potter - A Blue Peter Special" Friday 20 July 4:30pm - 5:00pm on BBC1). Of course we have a certain book to read too, so please be patient.

And a reminder that later today international fans can listen to Jo's reading at the London midnight launch, as it will be streaming live from bloomsbury.com at the precise moment it is published (12:01am BST on Saturday the 21st, but you can log on at beginning ten minutes before the stream starts). If you're not sure when that is your time, I created a handy clock -- just look for a city in your time zone. If you miss it, the video will remain accessible for two weeks.

Three interview dates announced!

Here they are, the dates for three Rowling interviews! Thanks to The Leaky Cauldron for the update!
