Oprah Winfrey is making the most of her final season as a talk show host. Her company, Harpo Productions, announced today that she (1) recently interviewed "Harry Potter" author J.K. Rowling in Edinburgh, Scotland, for a segment that will air Friday and (2) will have the entire cast of "The Sound of Music" on the Oct. 29 episode. The reunited cast of the 1965 Oscar-winning musical includes stars Julie Andrews and Christopher Plummer. The show will include a performance by the von Trapp Children, a singing group that includes members of the real von Trapp family, according to the Associated Press.
