nzherald.co.nz — Her picture hangs in Britain's National Portrait Gallery, her books have sold more than 300 million copies and a prehistoric dinosaur has been named after her Hogwart's creation. She has been named the celebrity world's ninth-highest earner, with a fortune that increases by £77 ($230) a minute - more than £100,000 ($300,000) a day.

And, amazingly, her books are complete crap.I'm not saying that to be trollish, I honestly have tried to read them, and I found the prose execrable. I couldn't plough through at all. I know that it depends on a person's taste, but I just thought her writing is piss poor. Just goes to show, doesn't it? Then again, I can't stand Stephen King's books, either (too long winded at the start and he tends to rush them at the end) with a few notable exceptions. I know you'll all mod me down for these opinions, as if I am some sort of heretic, but so be it.

Yes, it's called well-written and enjoyable fantasy. Imagine that.

I'm sure if a doctor saw 7.2 million patients in America alone last year he'd be rich too ;)
