 Hi! I'm afraid that your article had a few mistakes in it.  I've 
posted the Correct version below-

 Rowling bristles at comparisons--especially between Harry Potter and 
Peter Pan. Of J.M. Barrie's novel about a little boy who refuses to 
grow up, she said, "I find it a sinister idea. I find it stunted. I 
wouldn't want to go back to childhood. I've gotten much happier as 
I've gotten older. That's true of most of the women I know, not 
necessarily of the men I know. It's my feeling that men in general 
hanker after childhood much more than women."  Her own books, said 
Rowling, "are written to please me, and I am clearly an adult. I 
don't write what I think 8-year-olds would find funny. I write what I 
would find funny." Maybe this explains why so many adults--among them,
the members of Harry Potter for Grownups--have devoured her books.








Ok I admit it! It was a joke! (What was? The last two lines...)

Sorry I couldn't resist!
