Sandy responds:

I am not Lupilore, nor do I advocate his opinion of child abuse in the 
series, but I do believe he has a right to his opinions and to express them. I am 
responding to this because I, myself, do not like JKR, no way, no how. 
Furthermore, I do not like the last two books. It is my hope that she will redeem 
herself with the last and final book, but I have my doubts, which have been fueled 
by her recent interview which also lowered my opinion of her more. I would 
not, for love nor money, state my reasons for disliking JKR on this list. I have 
done so on other lists and been viciously attacked for them. I have learned my 
lesson and will never again express my opinions, even though I have the right 
to have them. I "waste my time" on JKR and this list because I do love Harry 
Potter and am willing to listen to other people's ideas, opinions and theories 
and possibly change my own. I have already done so once because I am now 
firmly in DDM!Snape's camp, but was not when I joined this list. Once the Harry 
Potter series is over I am done with JKR, no matter what the outcome is, but I 
have asked for a place in line to borrow Lupinlore's chipper IF Harry dies. I 
have not invested all this time, money and emotion rallying behind a boy having 
to overcome so much adversity, only to see him die in the end. There is no 
doubt that JKR has a macabre side to her, but that would be going too far. I 
don't know if it was Lupinlore or someone else who said that , despite what JKR 
says, she does care whether she has only 6 fans left at the end of the series. 
I will expand on that and say she *should* care. Her fans have made her what 
she is today, and since she intends to continue her career as a writer she 
needs to care about how her fans feel.

Sandy, upholding Lupinlore's right to state his opinions without being 
attacked for having them.
