Julie:
 It's not JKR's job to keep the public happy. She's a writer, and
writers write what's in their hearts, what inspires them, what gets
into their heads and won't get out until they put it down on paper
(or type it out on a keyboard). Certainly most want others to love
what they write, and want to be successful at it. JKR no doubt
exceeded her wildest dreams on that score. But, as she said
before, and it's true of most writers, she writes for *herself.* 
She tells the story that's in her, and leaves the public to like
or dislike it (as she must).
