Oh dear god....

CAN’T YOU AMERICANS GRASP THAT SHE WAS JOKING....... , she wasnt being serious, just as Robbie Williams wasnt when she said to a US interviewer that he ‘was into bum sex and heroin.....’.

Get a clue, America,please. I like you, but Americans have never understood the dry sarcastic/ironic British sense of humour.

Sorry, but truly the stereotype that Americans ‘dont get irony’ is true. Why do you people take everything SO literally?.

Well, I like Harry Potter and Brits in general but the assumption that she is not joking is the one that puts her in the best light.

I mean she's either serious and a mere twit.

Or, she's playing headgames with the child asking her the question and that makes her a complete ass.
