I have met thousands of children now, and not even one time has a child come up to me and said, 'Ms. Rowling, I'm so glad I've read these books because now I want to be a witch.'
My first ever interview for 'Blue Peter' was a film with JK Rowling.
I love J. K. Rowling. If I could meet any person, I would meet her.
I learn the lines that JK Rowling or whoever writes them, and say them.
I write adult fiction, but a good 40 to 50 per cent of my readers are teenagers. I love that if they have to grow up and move past JK Rowling they can move to me. From Jo to Jodi!
I love 'Harry Potter' and JK Rowling - don't laugh at me!
J. K. Rowling has already got a whole generation reading.
What surprised me about 'The Casual Vacancy' was not just how good it was, but the particular way in which it was good.
It's like a candy store for an illustrator, I connected with Harry pretty quickly and loved the way J.K. described everything; she's such a visually thinking person. You can't pass that up.
