This is a very minimal book about J. K. Rowling and it is now completely out of date, since it was written in 2000, before the series was finished. There are some interesting snippets and I am a fan, but I wouldn't recommend it for anyone who isn't a loyal Rowling reader.

This is a tiny baby lil' bubba book, I don't know if this should count on my book goal year list thing. GREAT ENLIGHTENING INTERVIEW, nice to know Jo's background :D an easy read

I did not read this when it came out in 2000 but came across it recently. It's interesting to read it after the series is over and after the movies were made. It was written around the time of the release of The Goblet of Fire.

It feels quite sanitized by Scholastic. For example,her answer to "Did your editor at Scholastic make many changes for the American edition? don't sound like her voice. I think J.K. Rowling knows American children could have handled all the original British vocabulary. Also, I've read elsewhere her biggest regret is letting them change the title of the first book, and that of course is not mentioned here.

I hope someday we get a real biography (or even better, autobiography) of J.K. Rowling.

It was fun to read about JK rowling and see what her take is on every day things! Shes surely a genius!

Short and cute, written for kids, I believe, problem is it only left me wanting more!!!! I want a real authorized biography now!

this book was very very easy to read and i finished it in no time. while reading i learned things about J.K. Rowling.

Very interesting to learn more about J.K. Rowling and the inspiration behind the Harry Potter books.

Though presumably written for children, this little biography is set out in interview style. I enjoyed the relaxed style of conversation and appreciated J.K. Rowling and her genius all the more. It takes but an hour to read and feels more like flipping through a magazine article. Pick it up and give it a try, especially if you're between serious books or if you've finished the whole Harry Potter series and want to know more about the amazing mother who came up with it.

I could not tell you why I own this book (I believe it was a present years ago), it is an interesting interview though. Would suit young readers in discovering more about authors.

Sebuah buku yang MURAH, bukan dalam arti jelek, tapi harganya benar-benar MURAH, hanya Rp.5.000. Dan dengan GOCENG itu, saya bisa mengenal sedikit tentang siapa itu JK ROWLING--yang begitu saya gemari sejak tahun 2001, ketika seorang kawan WENSESLAUS POERWANTO, membeli secara acak sebuah buku tebal berjudul HARRY POTTER DAN KAMAR RAHASIA, padahal itu kan BUKU KEDUA... setelah itu mulailah kami BERTUALANG mencari BUKU-BUKU YANG LAIN.

*saya jadi teringat sekolah BERASRAMA saya yang begitu MIRIP HOGWARTS, dengan GURU-GURU yang baik dan menyebalkan, KENAKALAN-KENAKALAN REMAJA, dan sejumlah PELAJARAN YANG HANYA ADA DI TEMPAT MENAKJUBKAN seperti sekolah asrama ST. DOMINIC itu.

**dan inilah kawan-kawan saya, yang MIRIP RON, KEMBAR WEASLEY, NEVILLE, DRACO, DLL: aleksander da silva, karno kelen, klemens kelen, yasni niron, dan theo leton.

As a middle school English teacher, I was able to order for free this slim book with my giant fall 2001 order of student books. I liked this incredibly quick read, and I like having the book available to my students for their reading. However, if you're a HP fan, there's not really any new information here.

In 2012, I've kept this book in my classroom library because as younger students begin to read HP, they don't see the same media hype about Rowling. They actually know less about her, so they enjoy this book more than my students in 2001.

This is a really old book by now...I think it was published around the same time as Goblet of Fire. But you get some interesting insights by reading it.
