Don't recall off hand whether she had 
either the interest or the opportunity, 
but, if she is to write (or participate 
more fully in the writing of) the 
screenplays too, when would she have 
the time to write the books?!?  Not to 
mention everything else in her personal 
life that informs her writing...

Nevertheless, I agree with you in 
theory - the movies would be much 
better if JKR is the one to decide 
what goes and what stays.

Petra, hoping for remakes already <eg>
