Wow I stand corrected and left feeling a great deal more than stupid, and to
think that she was just 2 years above me in school, always walking around the
school with a jotter pad, now I feel ashamed that I did not know just how big
she was before the films :(
Thank you for correcting me Ray.

Well I've got to say it, I'd never even heard about Harry potter before the

Perhaps from your perspective it appeared that way, but by the time the first
film was made, Jo Rowling was the most successful novelist in history. She got
concessions from Hollywood Stephen King couldn't get, John Grisham couldn't
get. She got director approval, for cryingoutloud! Chris Columbo had to fly
to London to meet here and discuss his vision for the book. No author in
history had that much juice. All the films did was make a multi-millionare a
billionaire.
Best, R.E.F.

Never attribute to malice what can satisfactorily be explained away by
stupidity.
