I absolutely love jk Rowling.
Funnily enough, I don't rate her actual books that highly - I have only read Harry Potter and although I enjoyed them I thought they weren't that brilliantly written, the stories were a bit clunky.... But the more I hear jk speak and articulate herself and how human she is, the more I adore her.
I love the hp films, and how jkr insisted on being involved and keeping them true to her vision. I love how she feels responsible for and answerable to the fans and I reckon she would be a brilliant mate to have a laugh with too....
But I am ever frustrated by how she won't talk about the recent events. Simon Armitage is obviously a really intelligent, interesting person, but also sensitive and sensible, they could have spent five minutes just talking about what has happened.
In some ways, I think that jk has thrown a grenade in the room then ran off leaving everyone else to deal with the explosion....
But also, I bet she does loads that no one sees or hears about.... Maybe her silence is the most powerful thing.... Hmmmm....
