One thing Colleen McCullough won't miss when she finally loses her
battle against a condition that is sending her blind is finding out what
happens to Harry Potter.

The prolific writer, and reader, who was in Brisbane recently to
promote her latest novel, Angel Puss, says part of the skill that makes her one of Australia 's most popular authors also prevents her from becoming a fan of the young wizard with the scar on his forehead.

"I have an editor in my head, that's why I can't read Harry Potter,
because she (J.K. Rowling) is such a lousy writer," the woman with the
giant-sized personality confessed.

"I applaud her so much, but I can't read Harry Potter because the
editor in my head is going strike that, why did you do that?"
