Kyntor replies:

I took that quote to mean that she didn't really gear the books 
towards children until she actually started writing them.  The books 
seem to be geared towards children.  JKR mentions somewhere else in 
the interview that Hermione was a caricature of her.  That is the 
type of think done in children's books and the type of thing that I 
was talking about.
