J.K. Rowling
Zitate
"...I've never set out to teach anyone anything. It's been more of an expression of my views and feelings than sitting down and deciding 'What is today's message?' And I do think that, although I never, again, sat down consciously and thought about this, I do think judging, even for my own daughter, that children respond to that than to 'thought for the day.'"
"If you need to tell your readers something...there are only two characters that you can put it convincingly into their dialogue. One is Hermione, the other is Dumbledore. In both cases you accept, it's plausible that they have, well Dumbledore knows pretty much everything anyway, but that Hermione has read it somewhere. So, she's handy."
"If I, personally, were Harry Potter I think I would go and hide somewhere, but that's because I know what's coming!"
"I think I'd most like to spend a day with Harry. I'd take him out for a meal and apologise for everything I've put him through."
"I have met thousands of children now, and not even one has come up to me and said, 'Ms. Rowling, I'm so glad I read these books because now I want to be a witch.'"
"The wizards represent all that the true 'muggle' most fears: They are plainly outcasts and comfortable with being so. Nothing is more unnerving to the truly conventional than the unashamed misfit!"
