In advance of the film’s release, Kansas State University’s Media Relations asked us to talk about Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows. Â We did. Â They taped us, and edited the results down to 3 minutes. Â Karin is on the right. Â And that’s me on the left.
They also put out a news release on Friday of last week. And no, we have not seen the new film yet either. Â Looking forward to it, though!
