I wonder if she knows already that she has lost thousands of fans due to the somewhat ludicrous epilogue. Although it seems she loves it.
I think the male Potterfans might have died out after reading Deathly Hallows.
Didn´t Jo find it strange that she had more girl fans than boy fans although she wrote about a boy?
If I was her I´d sit down for a while and muse on where things turned to ridiculous schmalz.
Really, I was a great defender of the series, but I cannot close my eyes to the fact that the obsession was steered by the media and that girls and women are obviously more easily to influence.
But nevertheless, I will read her future books. That´s just how mad I am.
