JK Rowling On Crooked Security Guards That Stole The Manuscripts | Friday Night With Jonathan Ross 

@lopen nhioloipi LMFAO never seen a comment so true

uk/irish interviewers have usually been good

@lopen nhioloipi this is strange how true this is, odd that I would find such an inspiring comment as here. do you really think this?

This was a high point for J Ross.

@@_misnoma_ yikes

@Mesophyl oh hahaha so funny

@Mesophyl Okay she has her own opinion so she cannot be humble, because YOU don't agree with it. You don't even know her. You only want to hear what you want to hear. And it is only good when it sounds good to your ears.

@Mesophyl This can never be a fact. It is your opinion. You think she isn't humble. Other people think she (still) is. That she made statements about something is a fact. What you think about it is an opinion. And how you deal with it is your own problem.

@Mesophyl Whaha seriously? You act childish yourself. Learn what the difference is between an opinion and a fact. Yes I will read my Harry Potter books, because I enjoy life. I don't have time for hate.

This comment didn't age well

What do you mean by gender?

@@____uncompetative Yawn.

@@salubrious A year later and Tomas hasn't answered my simple question. What do you mean by gender, Salburious?

@@____uncompetative Mega yawn.

@@____uncompetative she/her

Felt the same . Solid human being.

Believe me, they're trying, but like Ricky Gervais, you can't totally cancel the truth 😉

People have been REALLY trying, but alas, no luck! Like she says, "you can't bully a woman out of resistance."

She's tough as nails. This woke BS will pass in due time.

They won't she is strong and the Rowling army stands ready to defend its borders :)

You cannot cancel a rich woman, if she never wrote another word, it would only make us poorer, but not her.

You mean plagiarised knockoff garbage from much better writers that simple idiots klike you hadn't ever heard of and never will because you're lazy and illiterate? Yeah, "imagination", sure.... whatever go read your TERF lit.

shes mo michael crichton but those books were a decent read

What do you mean, exactly?

I have a different take. JR interrupted much too much. He didn't let her develop any of her answers.

Still, at least the scar no longer pained him…

Im surprised she didn’t have prickled or beamed as the last word.

Are you referring to the abomination that shall not be named?

:(

My dad brought me and my brother to watch the first movie, after that i started to read the second book my brother owned then the third book. It took me a while to find the first book in our school library and it's been chronologically linear after that. Good times.

J K will have the last laugh on that subject , It's happening in Scotland now.

Felicia Kelley it’s John Ron

Much better than Graham Norton

Never stop reaching for your star, wooooo!

Good for you! Keep at it!

Any news on your books? If so I'd love to buy one

For liking her you prove to be a Transphobe, a stupid idiot would say. 😁

Absolutely, the world stopped everytime a new book was released.

Dislike

2007

I dont. He was gay.

Because dumbledoor is make belief and im logic grown man

@@richkingb01 You didn't read the books, you aren't literate enough to read them.

he came back though as dumbledore the white in the next book

Nice spoiler, thanks….

They didn’t throw her under the bus ( dramatic much) they simply do not agree with her opinions. I’m a gay man and a huge fan of the books & movies and do not take offense to her stance, she wasn’t disrespectful, nasty or rude, she just has her own beliefs, which I respect.

@@kristianberg4264 I don't think you're trying to argue the points in contention or be rude, so we'll drop it, eh? The episodes of former fans wishing her dead or burning her books didn't happen either. No one has been cancelled, nor has anyone landed under a figurative bus. We're imagining things. Let's sing a happy song, may be a song about Trans Maria? How do we solve a problem like JK? We don't. You either give in to PC tyranny or you ridicule and oppose EVERY idiotic claim made in their twisted view of reality. And BTW, I DON'T respect the views or actions of Greta, "Leah" Thomas, Al Gore, or BLM. They're all liars and grifters.

​@@kristianberg4264i agree with you 100% I'm also gay and HP fan but I don't understand why people say the golden trio betrayed her. They just don't agree with her opinion but still respect her. Media loves creating drama

@@kristianberg4264they threw her under the bus. Not a word of solidarity, not a word of support which you can give even when you disagree. They completely jumped ship.

There is no 8th book? @will carr

@@lovisasellman5005 cursed child but its more of a script than an actual book

@@lovisasellman5005 - He may have been confused as there are (8) films, no harm, no foul.

And Lewis Caroll

@@user-kj1pq6zh3x oh yes of course.

@Jane Dough As a fundamentalist christian (Lutheran) I must disagree. The books contain many references to the religious climate of the 17th century, sects such as the Seekers, the Grindletonians, the Muggletonians, Rookwood, Perkins, etc. The crushing of seven seals before the defeat of the evil one, two Bible verses quoted, even a reference to king Hezekiah's seal (the golden snitch, the winged key), an ancient king of Judah. There are also references to occult things like the hand of glory, chess symbolism, serpents, geomancy, the philosopher's stone and grave soaking (Voldemort's resurrection spell on his father's grave), however these things are typically denounced as evil! "[...]the trouble is, humans do have a knack of choosing precisely those things that are worst for them." There's only one instance where an occult reference is presented as uncontroversial, and that is ghosts of Harry's relatives. They are friendly but ultimately have no power and can't assist Harry in any way, in reality they are only Harry's memories of them that he keeps in his heart so he's not even communicating by spiritism. That said, it is important to make the distinction between a book with christian themes and a christian book. I understand the people who won't read it to their kids because the religious references are so obscure and these topics just don't work for Sunday school because kids might misinterpret it as an endorsement of witchcraft.

@@njmccormackgmail What are you talking about? I'm giving examples of intertextuality because I think it's interesting to discuss the (sometimes overt) religious references in HP. Edit: The comment I was responding to has been removed, so I get why it's hard to follow. I was not responding to op.

@@mugglesarecooltoo youre very delusional + there is no god. wake up and grow up

What exactly would you get?? Book one of was released in 1997, very few people had internet service back then.

@@Nik-jy6sl should have said researched , forgot about the internet hair splitters. Also figure it out yourself as you are not here to learn and i have no time for you.

@@ramjam25 Pretty much everyone knows that the philosopher’s stone as a concept existed way back the HP books were released. It’s just another one of those mythical items she picked up from folklore, just as wands, flying broomsticks and magical schools. She invented nothing here. I thought you were referring to something specific that would come out as a search result on the internet, but that is unlikely, since Google was created just in 1999

@@Nik-jy6sl 😄😄

​@@Nik-jy6slshe invented quidditch and dementors

Gary Lineker

'Bent' as in 'Crooked' or 'Rogue' or 'Dodgy'

Oh fucking well dude

It's not horror, it's just she didn't have any of this planned did she

She didnt cast the actress, she just supported it

So? A personality and a soul hasn’t got a race/colour etc. What makes you you is more than just how you look.

@@ellieelizabeth2937 Very true, thank you

The sad truth is that if you were literate enough to read her books you could actually get to Hogwarts in your mind. An experience that far surpasses any orgasmic pleasure you could ever hope to satiate on.

@@hydraelectricblue Odd but I wouldn't disagree with real life sex being the most overrated experience ever lol. And fuck you too for calling me illiterate.

@@mattjohnston5807 oi this was too funny lol 🤣

@@deep_singh83 At least someone has a sense of humor haha✌️

She's so fine

Chandra Star so punish success ? Jk gives a lot of her wealth to charity

how would you come to that conclusion? Bigotry has no place here.
