ADD QUOTES
- J.K. Rowling: (about the spells in her 'Harry Potter' books) The spells are made up. I have met people who assure me, very seriously, that they are trying to do them, and I can assure them, just as seriously, that they don't work.

- J.K. Rowling: (about her daughter, Jessica) Kids at her school will sidle up to me and say, "Does Jessica know what happens in book 4? Does Jessica know the title of book 4?" And I keep saying, "No! There is no point kidnapping her, taking her around back of the bike shed, and torturing her for information."

- J.K. Rowling: (when asked what the title would be for book six) It will be called Harry Potter and... something. Catchy, don't you think? And I think I'll follow the same model for seven.
