Here's a funny article I read this morning.

"Before author J.K. Rowling became a household name, she was given some advice Harry Potter fans are glad she didn't take. Rowling's first editor at Bloomsbury Publishing admits he was really wrong when he told her to get a day job because she wouldn't make any money writing children's books.

Rowling is now a billionaire from the success of Harry Potter and she won't even turn 40 until the end of July. In 2004, she worked her way onto the the Forbes list of richest people. The sixth installment of the Harry Potter series is scheduled for release July 16. "

My girlfriend runs a bookstore so she's gonna be sad to see her stop writing Harry Potter books. It's a large portion of her yearly sales.

I see Harry Potter like Star Wars. The people behind them realize that there is way too much money still to be made, so they keep on making books/movies. I would not be surprised to see multiple 'offspring' books after the seventh.
 
Is she the richest woman in the world? The woman who started ebay is up there too.

There are a few rich wivies of ex-rich husbands, but excluding them.
 
isnt there always someone that has a comment like that. It fuels my fire thats for sure and it looks like it fueled hers.
 
I can't fathom being a billionaire. I picture billionaires throwing logs of money on the fire and using hundred dollar bills as toilet paper.

Once you get that rich money becomes meaningless...
 
I don't know about you guys but I marry this lady in an instance! I hope she likes young Cambodian dudes! Women say I have a cute tight butt! :) :beer:
 
I know this is petty, BUT, I saw an interview with her on the BBC at the premier of the first Harry Potter movie, when she was asked how well the movie compares to the book she said that it compared favorably, “not like one of those Hollywood movies.”

If she hates Hollywood movies so much shouldn’t she donate ALL the money that the Harry (Hollywood) Potter movies made to charity?
