Most digs are comedic and not overly nasty. This is about real history, where distortion is much more serious.

BTW, Rowling had to fight tooth and nail not to have the Potter books made completely Americanised. All but the studio she went with wanted to make Potter American and relocate the books to the US.

She opposed the American director simply because she feared he might overly Americanise her story, NOT because he was American. You ignore the fact she lauded his directorship after the film was made.

"NOT because he was American."

Nope sorry she is on film stating such. In fact I think its in one of the Films extras "making of Harry Potter etc." type video on the DVD where she states that even though he is an American... not that he was going to make the film Americanized but because he was an American.
