JK Rowling on Oprah: This Friday, October 1

J.K. Rowling hardly ever gives interviews, but tune in to The Oprah Winfrey Show on Friday, October 1st and you'll be in for a treat.

On Oprah's website, there is an article describing the interview. JK Rowling talks to Oprah about the possibility of another novel, her life and career, and how she became one of the most recognizable writers of children's literature today.

Some excerpts:

While talking with Winfrey about the sudden success of the Harry Potter books, Rowling reveals the moment she knew her life had changed forever. It was while in the United States on her second book tour: "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 standout 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.'"

We can't wait to hear more of what she has to say! We'll try to have videos available for you after the airing.
