Miss Fate This is a thread dedicated to Jk.Rowling where we can wax poetically about how awesome she is and to discuss the latest news about her and any interviews with her. Like this one from the Girl Guides of Scotland. If anyone finds other interviews (old or new) please feel free to post them here. ETA: Here's the Rant she posted on her site talking about thin girls. __________________ "It gives me a certain satisfaction to say what I thought happened and to tell other people that, because I would like my version to be the official version still, even though I’ve not written it in a book, because it’s my world.” ~ JKR"When you really believe in yourself, you don't have to bring other people down." ~ Quinn, Glee Last edited by baileycat : 02-17-2009 at 07:00 AM. | |||

| Elite Fan ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() | hee hee. Oh yeah, Stephen rocks my socks at this point. Needless to say he's got great taste and is impressively smart.__________________ "It gives me a certain satisfaction to say what I thought happened and to tell other people that, because I would like my version to be the official version still, even though I’ve not written it in a book, because it’s my world.” ~ JKR"When you really believe in yourself, you don't have to bring other people down." ~ Quinn, Glee | |||

| I've admired him for a long time, but when he expressed his love for HP, my love for him skyrocketed. Then he had to go and praise the epilogue in DH and my love hit the roof. Now my love is through the roof and up in the sky. *giddy* He's such a Jo Rowling fanboy. ![]() __________________ 'She is polite, un-prickly, and looks me in the eye throughout our interview.

| Is there a link to the article that King likes the Epilogue? I know he did a review for OOTP and he is a fan of HP. And can I be added please? ![]() | |||

| Elite Fan ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() | I seem to recall it was an Entertainment Weekly review. He's done many of those. __________________ "It gives me a certain satisfaction to say what I thought happened and to tell other people that, because I would like my version to be the official version still, even though I’ve not written it in a book, because it’s my world.” ~ JKR"When you really believe in yourself, you don't have to bring other people down." ~ Quinn, Glee | |||

| Nevermind, I found it, and another one he did. He called the Epilogue "Gorgeous" I never read Stephen King's books, but I've always loved his reviews and insight. I actually have read a book of his, a memoir called "On Writing." | |||

| I just watch the movies. They're entertaining. On Writing was excellent though. I read another review, once again he praises Rowling but he doesn't like S. Meyer's work at all. Ouch. | |||
