I have to give Rowling credit, she is a self-made woman. Harry Potter was a bit of a flop but word of mouth and schools made it global.
I hate just adults and young adults who are fans of kids' books. When I was on holiday there was a couple on the beach going on and on about Potter...they were in their 50s.
It's good that Pink News have been taken down a peg(or 2).
