Alice:

In the Royal Albert Hall interview, when the interviewer commented on
the size (or length) of the book, JKR said something like: And all
with writer's block, too! She then proceeded to say later in the same
interview that she HADN'T actually had writer's block at all. This
leads me to think she was joking at the beginning, or sarcastically
referring to some of the claims the press had made about her supposed
block. 

You can find the interview transcript at several locations, none of
which I can cite at the moment - just do a search, you'll get there.

Love, Alice

Also prior to the A.Hall in an interview with Jeremy Paxman, JKR said somthing like: "I wrote x hundred pages, got married, had a baby and all with writers block, not bad."  Obviously no writers block.
