Yeah, it really bewilders me -- I can't find the exact post again, but I'm pretty sure that it's too bizarre for me to have made up if only because it's not a thought that would ever cross my mind.
I am just like...baffled? So baffled. (I mean, on the one hand I think the HP 'verse would work really well as a shared universe like Star Wars or Marvel or Dragonlance or, you know, those things, but unlike all of those HP is her brainchild alone, and I'm absolutely not surprised that she's not willing to relinquish complete control, even if it's starting to edge that way.) And also -- she did write something else, she wrote those mystery novels under a pseud. And she still got outed as JKR and then people complained about her writing grown-up mysteries instead of more Harry Potter.
