JKR didn' find this amusin',, wat bout u??
She considers these pure garbage but I think its definitely a laugh.......
Rowling has had Prince Charles and the Duchess of Cornwall to dinner at her house
Her reply :- Well, I just hope they remember it, because I can't.
Rowling is 'riled' by being seen as a children's author
Her reply :- Absolute garbage! I have said many times that if I remain a children's author forever (which I may well do) I will never see this as being a lesser, easier or less 'serious' career than writing for adults. Whenever I have discussed the possibility of writing adult fiction, it has nearly always been because an interviewer has asked 'might you one day write a book for adults?'
Harry Potter based on JKR's cousin
Her reply :- Once more I put fingers to keyboard to state wearily that Harry is a completely imaginary character. He is not based on any of the men I have met during my lifetime who wore glasses, or any of the boys who had a scar somewhere on their face, or any of my friends who went to boarding school.
But wait - now I stop and think about it, I'M the real Harry Potter! I wear glasses, I've got a scar, my school had houses, I sometimes got into trouble… so stand by to read a story in some tabloid tomorrow headlined: 'Rowling Demands Half-Share of Own Royalties'.
Unfortunately and depressingly, these sorts of stories crop up all the time (see my 'Biography'). There is nothing any author can do to stop people claiming that they 'inspired' characters. I can only tell the truth and trust that readers with a grain of sense will know whom to believe.
Gilderoy Lockhart is based on JKR's first husband
Her reply :- No, he most certainly is not. I have always been honest about the fact that Gilderoy Lockhart WAS inspired by a real man (see the 'Extras' section). For obvious reasons I am not going to identify the person in question - however irritating he was, he does not deserve that - but I can state categorically that I never married him. I do not lie about the inspiration for characters (although at times like these, I wonder why I don’t refuse to answer these questions at all!)[/b]
