I never talk about 'Harry Potter' because I think that would rob children of something that's private to them. I think too many things get explained, so I hate talking about it.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
I have three kids who like Harry Potter so I was sort of aware of it. You can't really move from it: it's on buses, in stores, it's everywhere. One of my kids has read the books; the other two are too small but they like the movies.
You know that I had heard so many times people say things like, 'You could never write 'Harry Potter' and have it be about Harriett Potter because nobody would read it; people only want to read an adventure story if it's about a boy,' and I thought, 'I don't think that's true.'
In the same way that so many people read 'Harry Potter' and went to see 'Harry Potter,' just because a movie is about a kid, doesn't mean it's for kids, and just because a movie is about a girl, doesn't mean it's for girls.
'Harry Potter' achieved a very special act of actual magic: it made it completely acceptable for an adult to carry around, read and enjoy a children's book.
I was up for 'Harry Potter' way, way back. But I don't quite fit the bill, I think.
Harry Potter is awesome.
Well, before I knew there was going to be a film. I was the biggest Harry Potter fan. I read all the books.
I've done all sorts of children's things before, but none as big as 'Harry Potter.'
I'm a Harry Potter fan.
I've basically grown up with Harry Potter, as so many kids my age have. It's kind of a part of my life.
