You're gonna be bothered by how cool I am.

"Brave"? Erm... I don't know what you mean by that. I don't remember trembling this morning. lol

I just meant that staying entirely agnostic on the interpretation of anything and everything seems kind of sad to me. (Unless it's only shipping you refuse to believe the text about? But I can't see why shipping would be that important, so I have to assume you mean everything.) By "brave" I meant, don't let the fear of some bogeyman "twist" scare you away from deciding that you can, in fact, draw conclusions about events from the books! They're not a mass of wall-to-wall deception and trickery. Parts of them are a rather moving and sweet story about growing up. The books are trying to tell you a story. Let them!

Since Rowling IS setting up for a twist (in my opinion, she is), then of course, in her interview, she's going to reinforce the red-herrings she so carefully laid down.

*Shrug* So you won't draw conclusions from the books because it could all mean anything, and you won't believe a word of the author because she's deceiving us all to protect her deceptive books? (Except the bit about Emma Coad - appearently you took that at face value for some reason.) What can I say to that? If you'll really believe nothing at all, then there's nothing left we can discuss.
