I waited all week for Friday. J.K. Rowling , my personal hero and author of the Harry Potter series was to be on Oprah . I ran home from the bus stop just to see it, because JK seldom gives interviews. I learned some new things about her (I didn't know that she was afraid of cars!) and parts of it were bloody brilliant( "Rock Bottom can be used as a platform to jump") but over all it was disappointing. For a large part of the time it just seemed like the two women sat and talked about how rich they both were. I felt like Oprah interrupted JK a lot and that she dumbed it down for the audience.I mean Oprah had to explain what a "queue" was for us Americans. And for all of those who felt as JK had hinted that she might write another book about Harry Potter, I must disappoint you. JK has said that that she could write more, but she feels that the books are finished. I think she's right. Part of what makes the Harry Potter series special is that they are the only books J.K. Rowling written. I think that the series cement the saying "quality over quantity"( I am not by any means saying that the books are small. I'm just glad she wrote seven and not thirty books. )
Anyway,check out the interview and tell us what you think!
interveiw here!
