Self-absorbed author who writes sub-standard books and makes enough income to live off with them, who gets antsy when her fans try to use her LOL ORIGINAL CHARACTERS without her permission. I read the first HP book about 8 years ago and never saw what was great about it.
The guy does look a bit fruity, though.

There's no controversy here; the idiot is trying to make money off of the author's own copyrighted characters. Fag should've stayed with his fansite.

She's lying to say it's not about money. If it was just about "betrayal" and "theft of her characters" she wouldn't be so lenient on all those damned fan fiction sites. She only stepped in once he tried to make money off of it. Isn't she richer than the queen of England now?

I think she passed the queen half a decade ago.

I wonder if the B^U rule applies to the Harry Potter novels, too.
Probably you COULD excise 50% of the material and come up with something approaching an acceptable book.

I fucking tried to read the first HP book, and found a string of unrelated random events masquerading as a story. Like she wrote the entire novel with a fucking dartboard. No world, no cohesive plot, no overarching anything. They're fucking trash for people who don't understand what story, plot or rising action are.
It's like those people who think unfunny things are funny just because someone said them, or people who have absolutely no idea they can't sing.

I'll agree the first book is dross but from the second book onwards the writing style has improved remarkably and its all rather good.
Perhaps Rowling only wrote the first one but did the plots for the others which were then ghost written or she did a writing course or something but the improvement is remarkable.
The entire series still lacks any real description or tangible character growth – it's just a bunch of random events happening in a vague plothole-filled world. All the characters, besides the protagonist, are mary sues/gary stues or two dimensional. Harry is just an impulsive vehicle that tries to keep the story moving with his inexplicable bouts of stupidity.
A children's story – everyone says.
I wouldn't let my children read it. It's pretty much a cartoon transcribed onto paper that attempts to have some sort of flimsy theme by occasionally mentioning death and family.
