* JK Rowling hires SAS Bodyguard - Fans terrifying JK Rowling... Summary:
Hiring a bodyguard for herself ...... Article:
HARRY POTTER creator JK ROWLING is so terrified by an obsessive fan that she has hired a former SAS officer as her bodyguard.
The reclusive writer is fearful for the safety of herself, as well as 10-year-old daughter Jessica and six-month-old son David.
A friend of the family says, "It is not just children who devour anything about Harry Potter or Jo, there are some very weird fans out there. She is reluctant to say what is going on but there is no doubt that she is definitely worried about something or someone."
Rowling's spokeswoman says, "It is common practice for people like JK Rowling to hire security." | |

SAS = Tough Guys! That kind of sums it up.
I hope the highly deranged stalker fan gets his/her act together soon, if anything happens to JK I will be thoroughly upset because I want to know how book 7 ends!!!!! OK, That was a JOKE! I feel for her, must be really hard aswell when you have little ones.
Keep smiling JK. | |

Rowling's spokeswoman says, "It is common practice for people like JK Rowling to hire security." | i think it is crazy that she would have to hire someone to protect her and her family!! the person who is doing what ever is totally out of line!!! what kind of person would do something like this. I am 26 and am a huge fan of harry potter and JKR but i dont understand how someone could become so crazy about a person or object that is not real. I hope that they find who ever it is and punish them.I pray for your safty and the safty of your children.
sincerly praying for your safty

I sincerely hope that stalker backs off. JK is a terrific writer and she is working hard on bringing out the books. The last thing she needs under all this stress is a mad person following her.
Its a good thing she has hired a bodyguard. | |

I agree it's a good thing she has a bodyguard, (though it's a sad world when you have to protect yourself from these idiots) lots of people who are in the limelight like she is have to have bodyguards to protect themselves from stalkers. There are a lot of psychos out there. | |

Well I do say she might want to keep the body guard around for a very long time not sayin that she deserves to be hassled but if she does plan in killing off Harry Potter just because she is tired of writing she like other great authors will be hasseled and bothered by a lot of fans that will be fuming..poor lady.. >  | |
