Cleaning up the act? Very poorly I see though. He's still criticizing her, and I just can't see how JK could hate fantasy. When did she say that?

When you have an idea for a story, it normally comes along because you have been reading books from that genre, and because you like that genre. Now, pray tell, how could she have written 6 books if she hated the thing? One thing's pretty certain, when a writer hates his/her storyline, he/she won't continue writing. It would be a waste of ink and paper.
