Please cite where I said that anybody who wants to disregard 
interviews is wrong.

Huh? Which is the

Alla:

Please cite where I said that I live by every word that comes of 
Rowling's mouth. In fact I specifically said that I disagree with 
some of her statements, but I certainly agree with many others.

And the official part to me is the part where she invented the 
characters - by virtue of that I grant her the right to say anything 
she pleases whether her readers like it or not.

You have a right to dislike it, I have a right to do the exact 
opposite.

Shelley:
<SNIP>
She sold her books, ya know? 
> And we bought them, you know? 
Alla:

No, really? I bought them too, you know?

Shelley;

They are out of her hands, out of her control. 

Alla:

We disagree over the degree of how much they are out of her control. 

Shelley:

view it.

Alla:

And this is a valid criticism of course. Just the one I disagree 
with.


Shelley:

write one.

Alla:

So tell me are you upset about any other statement in her interviews 
besides Dumbledore being gay? It seems to be the only interview you 
keep mentioning.
