Here are 30 JK Rowling quotes to make you think and laugh.

People ask me if there are going to be stories of Harry Potter as an adult.

Conclusion

The one which really stands out for me from JK Rowling is her comment about poverty and how poverty is not a great thing. Being a single mum with only one income and a bunch of children to juggle is getting you close to poverty. I have seen it first hand with my fiancée, my mother and friends. Women all over the world from all ethnics and walks of life struggle because men do not live up to their responsibilities and hang them out to dry. If you are a woman reading this, take an example and don’t give up. There will be good in the end. If you are a man reading this step up your game and help.
