The banner is great!

And I love that quote. Probably my most favourite quote from her.

Leaky has some new quotes from the interview:

New J.K. Rowling Interview Quotes from The Oprah Winfrey Show - The Leaky Cauldron

Quote:
A press release issued today has a number of new quotations from J.K. Rowling's interview on The Oprah Winfrey Show, which will air this Friday, 1st October. Speaking to Oprah about the pressure of sudden stardom, Rowling says, "At that point, I kept saying to people, yeah I’m coping…but the truth was there were times when I was barely hanging on by a thread."

The Harry Potter author also spoke about the moment she knew her life had changed forever, during her second tour of the USA:

'There was this enormous Barnes & Noble, and I thought, oh my God. And the queue snaked up the street, up the Barnes & Noble, up through four floors and they took me in the back entrance. They opened the door and they screamed. They screamed….That’s a real stand-out moment for me. I knew it was getting big in that there was press attention and so on, but at that point, that for me...was when it felt 'Beatle-esque.'

Proof that Canadian teens are smart!

Quote:
Harry Potter author J.K. Rowling has won two awards at the first annual Teen Read Awards presented by Chapters Indigo Books & Music. Rowling received the Best Book-to-Flick award for Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince and Best All-Time Fave for Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows. Lord Voldemort was also one of the nominees for the Best Villain award. While Rowling did not attend the event, the author wrote a letter thanking everyone who voted.

I'm excited for the show. I probably have to wait for the replay but I'm so looking forward to this.

What do you think Oprah will ask Jo?
I'm hoping they'll talk about JKR's charitable activities. She does a lot for MS and children's charities.

Thanks for posting that Amy - I actually saw the books with the "award stamps" of the category each one won the last time I was at Chapters. I had the biggest grin on my face when I saw the category of Best All-Time Fave.
