She’s at it again! In her latest series of candid Q&A sessions, J.K. Rowling took some time to answer fan questions about religion at Hogwarts.
The discussion started a couple days ago after one fan asked if any of the Hogwarts students were Jewish. Rowling identified Ravenclaw Anthony Goldstein as a Jewish wizard. Goldstein would have been in the same graduating class as Harry, Ron, and Hermione. Rowling then added the following:
OK, let me clarify that! Anthony isn’t the first Jewish student, nor is he the only one. I just have reasons for knowing most about him!

And finally, Rowling confirmed that she’s got an idea of who she would like to play the role of Cormoran Strike in the adaption of The Cuckoo’s Calling.
.@Lewis_P_98 No, but he’s got a firm preference. He shouldn’t say who that is, though, in case somebody else gets the part. #tactful

While she’s not saying much about it now, we’re sure to hear more as pre-production continues.
