Louisa asked Patty Blount:

What is your favourite film that is based on a book?

Patty Blount I adore the Harry Potter movies. I believe they were as magical as the books.

I also love the Outlander series, though that's TV, not film.

I've tried adapting SEND, my first novel, to stage. I think it would make a great school play. It is NOT easy. Any time a beloved book is adapted for a visual medium like TV, film, or theater, trade-offs have to be made for timing, for the lack of internal thoughts, for drama.

Harry Potter's whimsical details were all brought to vivid life in the films. I truly love them.

Wordy Nerd asked Patty Blount:

I just finished reading your book Some Boys. It was excellent. The topic is pretty serious. How do you write about a topic that is serious but yet mange to make a book that is entertaining (in a good way) to read? Would you say writing on a serious topic is like writing a historical fiction book? I know a topic like rape is nothing to joke or find entertaining so do not take my above question wrong.
