Posturing and theater. She didn't write the books that are attributed to her. She was given a billion dollars to be the face of the Harry Potter franchise. This is a manufactured controversy.
Interesting. Is this true? I never paid any attention to any of the Harry Potter series. There was just something off with the whole thing. I read C.S. Lewis Narnia when I was a kid. Fantastic books.
The theory has taken a lot of ridicule, which I think is undeserved. I myself wondered how an unskilled writer could crank out seven increasingly complex novels in a short period of time on her first try. The director, Nina Grünfeld, said it best, and very logically:
“Is it possible that a person can write six thick books that are translated into 55 languages and sell more than 250 million copies in less than 10 years? Is it probable that the stories then get filmed and commercially exploited to the degree seen here, without any well-thought-out strategy or highly professional players behind them?”
I searched for "j.k. rowling didn't write harry potter" and got a good return. There are some videos, but I don't watch videos.
She stole the basic characters and settings from an illustrated children's book with a nearly identical name. As for whether she had help from ghost writers after the first book or two: I don't know the evidence others have presented but I'd say yes. The tone of the books changes so drastically and some of the shifts in character development strike me as the work of people with very different opinions. My guess is she "wrote" it all but most chapters were roughed out in advance with the help of a team.
