Telling the "truth" to a fan and yet saying something completely different in the books, after the series is done and dusted, so that the shocking gay revelations wouldn't hurt sales. And you're going to tell me that's not why she did it, that's not why she had Dumbledore give Harry a completely different explanation for his actions in the actual book. Because you know her (on first name terms!) and you know what she thinks, and plus you are a writer which means you know more than anyone else how all writers think!

And I'll criticise the author if I think she'd done something worth criticising. You wouldn't be all "that's bad form!" if we were talking about someone like Anne Rice or Terry Goodkind, why is Rowling so special?
