I became a writer because of you. Not necessarily a novelist, but I've written all my life. It all traces back to finding Potter at age 11 or 12 in the 90s. I've writen short fiction, poetry, non fiction, blogs, and everything in between. Now work in marketing and constantly writing. One day I hope to finish the manuscript collecting dust in my Google Drive. I'm not sure I would've gained a passion for reading and writing if not for you. Thank you for inspiring me

Thank you for Harry Potter. It has thought me about courage, life and death, and the importance of unity. It was the most important story I was told in my childhood, and has profoundly guided and shaped my moral compass to this day. It also brought my family together as my mother read us your stories, and they sparked fires in our imaginations and turned into a burning desire to write stories of my own, and pay forwards what you had given to us. You are a true inspiration and one of the defining heroes our time. Thank you.

I suspect she doesn't want to give away her secrets about narrative misdirection too much, but if you really study it in her writing yourself it's fascinating. She's one of the only authors alive to put so much effort into mystery right now (which is in my opinion a more dynamic and superior way of writing). I don't know why other authors never care about adding mystery as much.

Dear Ms Rowling 🌹✨Thank you so much for this wonderful insight into your writing process! I love your mental image of a lake and a shed. I can walk around the lake for ages and get lots of ideas. But later, in the shed, my perfectionist inner critic keeps telling me that I was too stupid to use the tools that are neatly hung on the walls. He says that instead of making something beautiful out of the flotsam and jetsam in my bucket and net, I'll just mess it all up. You see, the inner critic expects me to come up with printable sentences in the crappy first draft! He doesn't understand that if he doesn't let me write, he won't have anything to nitpick about in the end. Unfortunately, my inner despot seems to be resistant to logic. So I guess I should have someone stand behind my chair with the thickest book available and hit me with it as soon as I start editing, correcting and deleting lines, instead of soldiering on and finishing my first draft. I'm sooo looking forward to watching part two! 🥳

Writing for me is as fun as reading, it is the funnest thing I’ve over done.

"It feels like discovery rather than creation." I think, this remark on her character backstory creation sheds lots of light on why her characters are so "real". Never shallow. Always psychologically consistent. They make sense, even and especially, when their actions don't. Also explains, why great writers need to be very empathic.

Definitely has to be word and not excel… Very interesting difference compared to her HP & The Order of The Phoenix handwritten grids... And different from the 60 min show sneak peak she gives us of the outline of HP & The Goblet of Fire. So, I’m wondering….She has all the information on the stories in her head and notebooks and then creates a grid/outline and fills in the basics and keeps the more in depth detail in her brain and notes…. Would be cool to see how she preplanned all 7 Potter books with her outlining process. Especially early on. I love that butterfly notebook she has with the history of the Death Eaters. Anyway, this was a wonderful interview, but for the obsessive in me I would have loved to have known other things and greedy me would want a two hour video. 🤷‍♂️

Mrs. Rowling, can I share an amazing story with you? One day I was driving home, when all of a sudden the Lord came to me in spirit. I felt very close to Him. I knew if I asked him to play any song on the radio he would, I guess to bless my faith. So I said "ok, Lord play "Come as you are by Nirvana". I turned on the radio and the song started playing right there on the spot, perfectly… I started getting flooded with chills like a waterfall, crying, and trembling. He stayed with me for 10 minutes in my driveway. until I got outta the car. A couple months after that I started getting amazing prayers answered way more often, because it helped me quit doubting when I pray and I was lined up with biblical instructions. It's 6 years later and I still get answered prayers in Jesus name.

I love how she talked about “discovery”; how sometimes writing is not so much the act of creation and invention as it is discovering the story itself. For example, I usually know when something I’m writing is wrong. I know when it isn’t right because it doesn’t “feel right”. And it works the opposite way, too. I know when something is right because it just “feels right”, if you know what I mean?

Shamefully, I never read all of J.K. Rowling's Harry Potter books, maybe someday I will, at the moment I am working on my poetry book I am going to self-publish and funny enough I have written a poem in there called Odette (me) and Harry Potter, lol! I am also writing a short story, recently I have been published in the second Newport Anthology by my writer's group, though I am on universal credit and on the Autism spectrum I will get there for if J.K Rowling's can do it, so can I! despite all those who laughed at me thinking, yeah, right. I'm hoping that once I finish my poetry book is when I will be able to focus more on my fantasy novel in the meantime, I think I might have to add another poem to my collection.
