How many women have inspired so many?
How many other women have inspired so many children and adults to read? How many other women have such vivid imaginations? How many other women could write so dramatically, so emotionally, so amazingly in books suitable for all? How many? None.

Writing wizardry!
I really admire JK Rowling's writing. Knowing that we have such a creative force as the Patron of the Multiple Sclerosis Society makes me even more memorable to read her writing wizardry! Many thanks from a South African Multiple Sclerosis survivor and potential scribe!

Seek that elusive voice of pure inspiration...
Damn fine stuff! All writers seek that elusive voice of pure inspiration. JK Rowling stays true to it, and delivers a world that flips us back into the magic we desire.

Leaving my tummy troubles behind
When J.K. Rowling first came out with this site I remember being so excited I practically screamed! Jo has created such a wonderful site to communicate with her fans through and provide the HP info we needed!! Jo's book also helped me through a hard time when I was sick with stomach ulcers and was kept home from school for 2 months. Her books helped me by taking me off to Hogwarts and leaving my tummy troubles behind. I Love J.K. Rowling!

Absolute genius
To invent a totally imaginary character that is so real that people from all ages can relate to him, is absolute genius. I take my hat off to you Joanne for due respect.

Taken away by J.K. Rowling's story
During my divorce my daughter was having a hard time and I came across J.K. Rowling on tape. Each night my daughter and I cuddled in bed and let J.K. Rowling's story of a boy named Harry take us away to his wizard world. We needed the escape. As a single mother who has a hard time making ends meet she made me feel I could survive this newly divorced life. She has taken herself from being on welfare and turned her life around. She helped my daughter and I through a difficult period by allowing us to escape the harsh realities of life, even for a few hours. I found my daughter and I really bonded with these books - and all over the adventures of a little boy named Harry.
