  • I have met thousands of children now, and not even one has come up to me and said, 'Ms. Rowling, I'm so glad I read these books because now I want to be a witch.'
  • I think I'd most like to spend a day with Harry. I'd take him out for a meal and apologise for everything I've put him through.
  • If I, personally, were Harry Potter I think I would go and hide somewhere, but that's because I know what's coming!
  • It is important to remember that we all have magic inside us.
  • Journalists banging on my front door! Don't like that at all.
