JKR on CNN Transcript

[Scott]

No: HPFGUIDX 4438

I'm not sure if JKR knows about us specifically but- well it would be 
hard for her not to notice there are obsessives out there. She has 
said that she is quite obsessive as well.  I KNOW I am. Which brings 
me to something I've often wondered.  If JKR hadn't written HP do you 
think she would be one of us?  (Of course the fact that she did 
doesn't mean she still isn't welcome to join, but lets put it this 
way- I'm not holding my breath.)

> ROWLING: No. In all honesty, I didn't think it would do this well 
with anyone. I thought I was writing quite an obscure book that if it 
ever got published would maybe have a handful of devotees because I 
thought -- it is kind of a book for obsessives. I thought, well, 
maybe a few people will like it a lot. I never expected it to have 
broad appeal.

Do you think she knows?
