As much as I love her books, I dislike J.K. Rowling.
How stupid can you be as to break in tears because you killed a character in your book? C'mon... if it was the publishing editor forcing the author to kill the character, I can understand. But this is just fuckin' silly.
Also it was very dumb of her to not allow the 5th Harry Potter book to be translated to other languages until the book in English hit stores. Meanwhile pirate copies worldwide were being translated so they could be sold long before the legal ones came out.
