Yes I reckon it's all a dream, Harry will step out of the shower
and Hermione (Mrs Potter) will realise she's been studying too
hard all night for her Open University degree, again.
Do remember that JKR doesn't need to keep the public happy,
and even when she did need to, she didn't always try. We've all
proved time and again that we buy anything of hers by the
truckload - sometimes because of a different cover - and she's
made so much money that if the movies all bomb and the next
two books sell one copy each, she's still laughing. But with a
global marketing bandwagon to ride on, it's a great big joy ride
for her and the sales are guaranteed by the million.
I read in one of the more respectable newspapers (which is still
no sign of credibility) that she's written under a different name,
and the book sank without trace. I rest my case, if that's true.
When the wheels are turning, some people get to choose when
they step off. She's become one of them, and the public do give
me the impression that they think she's some kind of god.
