"Rowling is 'riled' by being seen as a children's author
Absolute garbage! I have said many times that IF I REMAIN A
CHILDREN'S AUTHOR forever (which I may well do) I will never see this
as being a lesser, easier or less 'serious' career than writing for
adults. Whenever I have discussed the possibility of writing adult
fiction, it has nearly always been because an interviewer has
asked 'might you one day write a book for adults?'"
Me again!
This does indeed show that Rowling doesn't mind being seen as a
children's author, but it does not mean that she writes for children.
To assume that "I wouldn't think less of myself as a children's
author
rather than a so-called adult novelist" means "I write my stories for
children" is a bit of a leap, imho.
