| | |  J.K. Rowling talks reading Harry Potter to her son, Google, rejection & a fan letter
Four extra clips from J.K. Rowling's interview on The Oprah Winfrey Show have been uploaded on the talk show host's website. In them, Jo talks about having read Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone to her son for the first time, Googling herself for the first time after becoming a huge success, the bright side in receiving so many early rejection letters, and a young fan who touched her heart. Those can be viewed by clicking the images below. Do J.K. Rowling's children read Harry Potter? Plus, the note she'd like to send to other parents.
Author J.K. Rowling talks about the difficulty of getting published and why she was pleased with her rejection letters.
The Harry Potter author on handling fame and how a Google search taught her a big lesson about her fans.
Harry Potter author J.K. Rowling reads a fan letter she got from one of Oprah's favorite children, Mattie Stepanek.
The full interview can be heard here. | |

She wants to make absolutely sure that her children read the books before viewing the films.

I choked up when J.K. Rowling read Mattie Stepanek's letter. He was such an inspiring person with his wonderful messages of peace and his beautiful poetry. It’s heartbreaking to know that he had to die before the Harry Potter series was finished off, but I’m sure his death brought more light to the world for his cause.

Mattie Stepanek is from my hometown. We have a football field here in MD named after him. He was def an inspiration...it is very sad that he didnt get to see HP completed. I haven't seen the interview yet (DVRed) but will watch it later.

| its time to choose between what is right and what is easy
ahh it was an extra clip, ill have to go check it out
but the interview was so amazing !! it is so adorable how Jo uses HP vocab when talking about regular things.. when she mentioned someone coming up to her in the streets and she said "it was like she apperated right in front of me".. so cute !!
if my vote counts Jo i would love to see you write more HP books !
