LMAO
Few things of French origin have commanded my focused attention based upon their intellectual merits

Again. Her comments were AFTER the book.
As for you quoting Wikipedia? Please, you’re embarrassing yourself.

And C.S. Lewis was an aetheist and a brilliant scholar of English literature. I guess we should ignore everything of his prior to his cionversion.
BTW: Potter has seven books. The Chronicles of Narnia has seven books. Coincidence or an evil Rowling plot to undermind Lewis?

Yeah, you'd think that it would be Clinton, however with the talk of terrible hurricanes, that makes it Bush. Okay, now you're just being ignorant.
Believe what you will. The heck with facts.

You are ‘right on’. Harry Potter’s birthday was 07/31/1980. At the time of the story in question he is 16 years old, that would make it 1996. If she was talking about the US president at all(which she wasn’t), it would have to have been Clinton!

What facts have you shown?

What facts have you shown? Apparently none that are readily available at your level of understanding.
Sorry to have bothered you. Foam on.

J K Rowling copied the ARISTOCRATIC bording school structures for the priviledged class. (ironic given Rowlings recent comments and some of the sexual deviants that came out of the british boarding school system)

“The Brits made fun of Clinton but they hated George more than anything”
That may be true, but it’s also fairly true from your posts that you haven’t read the books and really don’t know what you’re talking about.
Keep talking anyway. It’s amusing.

Well, having read the books, and seen the movies, I can state that the person who wrote this article is clearly a complete whack job... Saying that this analysis is completely ridiculous is an incredible understatement.

Asked whether the final Potter book with lots of killings made it suitable for young children, she replied: "I know what you mean, and it filled me with unease to hear that Harry Potter is read aloud to 5-year-olds. They should be at least seven." http://www.antara.co.id/en/arc/2007/10/26/i-wont-allow-a-harry-potter-sequel-author-jk-rowling-says/
"I don't take any responsibility for the lunatic fringes of my own religion, she added.
"The truth is that, like Graham Greene, my faith is sometimes that my faith will return. It's something I struggle with a lot," Rowling admitted. "On any given moment if you asked me [if] I believe in life after death, I think if you polled me regularly through the week, I think I would come down on the side of yes that I do believe in life after death. [But] it's something that I wrestle with a lot. It preoccupies me a lot, and I think that's very obvious within the books.

"My truthful answer to you... I always thought of Dumbledore as gay," said Rowling, whose comments were posted on the Potter fan website

She once belonged to Amnesty International, I once belonged to AI too. I had written to them, asking for a list of "prisoners of conscience," and a list of government officials to whom I could write. When I never received either, I wrote again. I finally received a letter stating that THEY were supposed to take care of putting pressure on governments, while us peons were to just cough up the cash.

She marked that as one of her accomplishments. That says a lot. If she didn’t want anything to do with them, she would not have listed them.
