“she was talking about MYTHIC and FOLKLORIC magic not occult magic.”
She said she was asked by children who much of the magic was “real”.
“Children often, often ask me how much of the magic is in inverted commas “real” in the books in the sense that did anyone ever believe in this? I would say - a rough proportion - about a third of the stuff that crops up is stuff that people genuinely used to believe in Britain.”
You just don’t want to see it.
Here’s the part that’s important:
“DR: Is there a certain amount of very sophisticated mythology that you’re trying to work in here?
JKR: There’s - I’m not trying to work it in, but... If you’re writing a book that, I mean, I do do a certain amount of research, and folklore is quite important in the books”
It’s a simple matter of context. If Colin and I are discussing NASCAR and somebody mentions tires context dictates the tires mentions aren’t wheelbarrow tires or bicycles. The context JKR mentioned magic in was mythology and folklore, only a completely obsessed moron would think the magic was anything but mythic and folkloric. And you ARE that lying worthless FR embarrassing moron.
