- sphinx13, on 10/12/2007, -10/+137That site burns my eyes.
- sockpuppets, on 10/12/2007, -4/+115This moment of pedophile lust brought to you by jamt9000.
- inactive, on 10/12/2007, -8/+118Of course, we're more interested in another character *cough* http://www.jungstars.net/jungstars/emma-watson/galerie/21-emma-watson.jpg *cough*
- inactive, on 10/12/2007, -2/+86Well, she is actually older than me

http://www.jkrowling.com/en/ is the "real" version of her site. This is just the text-only version but as you can't link to individual articles in the flash version most links point to the text-only one. - SkeletaLlama, on 10/12/2007, -2/+76What's wrong with Harry Potter 16: Wizards in Space?
- Jonjonr6, on 10/12/2007, -28/+96I can't wait until all the movies come out, so I can be done with Harry Potter too!
- meshman, on 10/12/2007, -5/+71If my big star started banging horses I'd abandon the series too. ;)
- ryodoan, on 10/12/2007, -25/+84You would think that with all the money she has made she could hire a website designer.
- shertzerj, on 10/12/2007, -3/+49It's been a great book series, I'm definitely looking forward to it (although a little sad that there won't be any more, as well).
- SkeletaLlama, on 10/12/2007, -1/+47You're scary.
- tobsterius, on 10/12/2007, -3/+42The euphoria must come when she recieves the royality check from the publisher.
- sockpuppets, on 10/12/2007, -4/+42Pics of your mom, stat.
- elnerdo, on 10/12/2007, -2/+28You know.. it's not really pedophilia once they've past puberty. As a 17 year old myself, oggling a 16 year old really isn't pedophilia at all.
- tobsterius, on 10/12/2007, -0/+25You seemed to have misread my comment.. I was trying to be a little humorous. I apologize. I swear, I won't do it again.
- MatthewWilkes, on 10/12/2007, -2/+25Of course, in the UK the age of consent is 16. Therefore I can say I'd do terrible things to her.
And she'd love it, the dirty minx. - etandrib, on 10/12/2007, -0/+23It may be in Georgia. Tread carefully.
- Bikil, on 10/12/2007, -0/+22I have loved the Harry Potter journey and am sad, but am happy to see it come to a conclusion at the same time.
It will be interesting to see if she writes something NON-HP and how that is. - sockpuppets, on 10/12/2007, -1/+22Then why did you go through school?
- SkeletaLlama, on 10/12/2007, -6/+25The euphoria is caused when you close her webpage and your eyes stop bleeding.
- sockpuppets, on 10/12/2007, -2/+21Die in a fire.
- noahhoward, on 10/12/2007, -1/+19Danial Radcliff is staring in a play called Equs. He's naked onstage, with horses.
- terrab0t, on 10/12/2007, -0/+17I guess this is a lesson in accessibility. You can make a lovely flash app to show off to your visitors, but nobody will be able to link directly to anything within it, so it will eventually become obscure and other people writing about you will become the definitive sources on you.
If you make a text-only version of your contents for link purposes, it will become the definitive set of pages on your site. Eventually nobody will see your flash app and they will not browse around your site because they will think it's ugly.
The answer is to make the accessible HTML version of your site attractive and maybe don't even bother with the flash version in the first place. - inactive, on 10/12/2007, -0/+16rofl... my god... that's the funniest thing i've ever seen...
- Paroparo, on 10/12/2007, -2/+17It's always respectable when an author has the proverbial balls to kill of a favorite character, not to mention a veritable gold mine. Then again I hear she's well off enough to do stuff like this nowadays.
- izaic3, on 10/12/2007, -0/+15That's the text version of her site, the flash version is actually pretty cool.
- SkeletaLlama, on 10/12/2007, -0/+14I was hoping for a spinoff series with Harry, Ron and Hermione as grownup aurors but I don't think it would be as appealing or fun.
- Gordin, on 10/12/2007, -1/+15The Lord of the Rings is definitely great but I get why some might not like it. Not everyone likes to read pages of poems/songs which have nothing to do with the main storyline.
- SkeletaLlama, on 10/12/2007, -1/+15My theory:
Horcruxes require a murder to create and are supposed to be special murders. The last murder Voldemort committed before vanishing was going to be the prophesied child who could defeat him. Horcruxes can also be alive, like Nagini the snake. Hence, Harry is the final horcrux and must destroy himself in order to save the world from Voldemort. - deucer, on 10/12/2007, -0/+13I wonder if she'll take the George Lucas route and in 20+ years decide to write or finish some prequels/sequels. Only time will tell...
- jcapogna, on 10/12/2007, -3/+15do a google for "harry potter horse nude pictures". You'll be surprised.
- knuckles, on 10/12/2007, -4/+16You are viewing the text only version (which does leave traces of burn-in on the retina). The professionaly done site and comment can be found here:
http://www.jkrowling.com/en/index.cfm - monosyth, on 10/12/2007, -1/+12still. i didn't even realize it was her site until you mentioned it. i just thought it was some gawdawful fansite. seriously, my eyes!
- candiru, on 10/12/2007, -0/+10http://www.broadwayworld.com/viewcolumn.cfm?colid=15430
....or maybe you might not want to click it. w/e - inactive, on 10/12/2007, -5/+15what?
- mizzouse, on 10/12/2007, -0/+10Harry Potter will definitely be missed. However, it's a good choice to end now, as opposed to releasing more books to continue the story that could potentially damage the quality of what she has already written (about 800 corny sequels to good movies come to mind).
- saska, on 10/12/2007, -0/+9Ha ha, shagging horses.
Seriously, Equus is an important piece of English literature, and good on Radcliffe for landing a prime role on stage in something of its magnitude. Goes to show he has a career beyond boy wizard. - thejwac, on 10/12/2007, -1/+9Here is my theory for Deathly Hallows so possible SPOILER alert:
One of the horcruxes is hidden at Hogwarts in the caved in secret passage shown on the Marauder's Map. The only secret entrance out of the school that the Weasley twins never used couldn't have been caved in at the time of the Map's creation because it is shown as being usable. This means that some time within the years after the Marauders were at Hogwarts through the twins discovery of the map, something significant enough happened to cause a cave in. Rowling never brings up details like this without expanding on them or coming back to them at some point... - bourneagain, on 10/12/2007, -1/+9Bonus points for linking to the text only version so we don't kill the site.
- saikhan, on 10/12/2007, -0/+8Searchjerk sure is one ***** search engine. I hope you have fun promoting something that will never gain popularity, never generate revenue, and eventually waste your life away.
- sockpuppets, on 10/12/2007, -0/+8So Alex has something to read him when he tucks him in at night.
- mrdebonair, on 10/12/2007, -4/+12I am simultaneously heartbroken and euphoric as well. :-/
Twas a good series. Saying goodbye to good trilogies and series is always tough. - inactive, on 10/12/2007, -2/+10It remembers me "Misery" from Stephen King...
- saska, on 10/12/2007, -2/+9My pedestrian theory is that with the death of Voldemort, whose power was transferred to Harry upon the death of his mother, Harry loses his own powers and becomes an accountant.
- btgoss, on 10/12/2007, -0/+6oh Graystache
- noahhoward, on 10/12/2007, -11/+17Oh noes, an author making money off of her work.
She can't be happy to have created something millions of people enjoyed? - EatingPie, on 10/12/2007, -1/+7She has actually discussed her mixed feelings about finishing the series before. While not terrible attractive, her "blog" has been a very good source of information straight from the source. (Never buy a "signed" J.K. Rowling book on E-Bay!).
She has said she's considering ONE additional book... but don't get too excited. A Harry Potter Encyclopedia. I believe she mentioned it would likely contain notes and backstory that never made it in to the series. Why Hermione's cat is so intelligent, for example, is never really explained in the books.
She also said that if she does write an encyclopedia, she will likely donate its earnings to charity. Very commendable IMHO, as it will sell well, and probably continuously.
-Pie - undergrace, on 10/12/2007, -0/+6JK Rowling is one of the most financially generous billionaires in the world. She was a dirt-poor single mother going to coffee shops to write the first drafts of Harry Potter because she couldn't afford to heat her apartment and she didn't want her baby to freeze. She had nothing, and she hasn't forgotten what that is like. She's already written 2 books for charity ("Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them" and "Quidditch Through the Ages") - she took the popularity of Harry Potter and expounded on it for kids in need. If you occasionally read fansites as I do to keep up with HP news there are constantly stories about her making "generous donations" to various childrens literacy and battered women's groups. She doesn't even allow the organizations to publicize how much she gives them - she doesn't want the attention. I think it's wonderful how humble and generous she is. She's a testament to the notion that people *can* use their wealth to help the world. There's very little of that being reported nowadays. So instead of comments insinuating that she's this greedy woman rolling around in her money, do a little research on where her money actually goes. You'd be surprised.
- inactive, on 10/12/2007, -0/+5Tolkien was hardcore. He pretty much devoted the entirety of his life to creating that entire universe surrounding The Lord of the Rings. It's amazing literature, but I'll admit, the average vocabulary, imagination, and attention span of the average American isn't enough to truly appreciate it. The hundreds of pages in which Legolas and Gimli ride around aimlessly in Rohan for no particular reason were pretty painful to read for me. What's amazing is that there's so much more to that universe that Tolkien created beyond Lord of the Rings that most people will never see.
- MatthewWilkes, on 10/12/2007, -0/+5hallow (plural hallows)
1. (archaic) a holy person, a saint
* All Hallows Eve (or Halloween), the night before All Hallows Day (now more commonly known as "All Saints Day"). -
