Didn’t she just sue a toddler for making a dictionary of her crap?

I never understood that law suit at first but, having read this article, I can now see she needs the money.

She should probably have let the boy publish the book- then bought him and exclusive rights. That would’ve settled it, I think.

Movie rights on a book that had sat unnoticed on shelves in stores, as bad literature , for years, and having sold her soul she sells anything that goes ans still writes crap and makes a mint proving that like Kylie Minogue one needs only PR and endless promotion to make a totally inflated wealth.They are not even well written and there are so many more deserving authors of decent children’s books.But not everyone is prepared to sell their soul like her and Kylie, than heavens. But would be nice to see merit rewarded instead of mediocre.

At the risk of being serious for a moment. I loathe that overpaid cow.
Maybe if she could manage a real or even normal smile occasionally, rather than that awful smirk she’s got I might merely dislike her.

Oh yeah, almost forget, those books are trite, mindless trash. Although they do have their uses, I keep one near the toilet in case we run out of the real stuff on a roll.

It’s all going to turn out all right though. Eventually more people will believe in Harry potter than all the deities combined, and he will become real. Then he’ll kick the living shit out of Rowling for giving him those stupid glasses. The police won’t be able to do him for it either because he’s got all spells and stuff…

This will be at about the same time that the 11th Disneyworld (in Calcutta) will open, and the entire Disney pantheon will be made manifest in tangible form. Harry can breath life into Walt’s frozen head with a Lifeicus Zombo spell or something; and even though Mickey will declare himself King Of All The World immediately, he’ll be spending all of his time arguing with Walt about whether Jews are okay with him now or not. Well, when Walt’s not begging him to bang Minnie while he watches of course.
