Just to tide y'all over . . .

Some quotes I found in Muggles and Magic.

This one is for all the crazy Pumpkin Pie-ers out there who think that if R/H or H/G happens, that it's because Jo bowed to the pressure and sold out:

"I want to finish these seven books and look back and think that whatever happened to me--however much this hurricane whirled around me--I stayed true to what I wanted to write. This is my Holy Grail: that when I finish writing book seven, I can say--hand on my heart--I didn't change a thing. I wrote the story I meant to write. If I lost readers along the way, so be it, but I still told my story. The one I wanted. Without permitting it to sound too corny, that's what I owe to my characters. That we won't be deflected, either by adoration or by criticism."

--JK Rowling quoted by Linda Richards in "January Profile: J.K. Rowling," januarymagazine.com, October 2000

So there.

And this one (which some of you received as a text message), just because it literally gave me goosebumps:

"It was the knowledge, unprecedented in a life devoted to the solitary practice of reading, that last night and throughout this weekend, I and millions of other people, young and old, will all be reading the very same book."

--Laura Miller in "Pottermania at Midnight," Salon.com, July 8, 2000

Just thought I'd share.
