Harry Potter and Me – Part 4

J.K. Rowling talks about her relationship with Sean and how he inspired Ron's character. Also his Ford Anglia was not only an important part of her relationship with Sean but took on a prominent role in the second installment of the Harry Potter novels. J.K.Rowling turns to her mother who died young of MS. She talks about how the death of her mother caused her to change how the Potter's die and also her feelings about what she would ask seeing her in the mirror of erised. Death is a central part for her, yet she doesn't not approve of parents chiding her about how she writes. PoA and then GoF come along slowly develop her stardom to the point where she reads for packed audiences and does huge signing events. In retrospect she believes it unlikely she'd neither believe this possible nor be able to handle it.
