    So she seems to have wrote about 14 books worth of material (with pictures!) to publish 7 books of legendary status.
    Take away? She didn't write Harry Potter for you to enjoy, she created a whole magical world for herself to imaginarily live in for herself, and she hoped to make a little money from it maybe. This is exactly why it feels like a real world, because it is virtually, complete with complete histories for everything of importance through the whole Harry Potter 7 book story! (She had this all mapped out before she even published her first book!!!!)

      The amazing thing is that as you go through the books you realize that she must have worked everything out meticulously from the very beginning. And this video is proof. I'm not saying she's on a par with Tolstoy, but what she accomplished with the HP series was truly awe-inspiring. Worthy of all the fame and money that have come her way. Unfortunately, the movies don't begin to do justice to the level of detail in the books. In this instant gratification culture, I hope they don't eventually usurp the books as "canon".

    • @thomasrainbow
      @thomasrainbow 5 років тому +13

      Right! She did it for herself that's why the stories are so fulfilling and compelling. Also didn't she start imagining and writing them during a very rough period in her life? I think she's so inspiring and shows that you too can create something and bring it to life even in your darkest moments of life and other people can enjoy it.

      Grindelwald was propaly suposed to Do suicide after his defeat like Hitler.

    The fact that she's such an incredible artist as well really takes the cake. I'm also a writer so I completely understand the need to draw the characters, except I can't draw to save my life. I've gone so far as to dedicate a room of my house to the diagrams I built of what the different kingdoms in my story look like. This 'mass of waste paper' as she calls it is totally relatable.

      J Rowling is a plagiarist and I know the facts. If you intend writing novels than being actively employed then do your own work and write-up your own stories. I can tell you it is very damaging to the real author of a story that gets stolen and presented by a foreign author to the original creator. Jo Rowling did not originate, create, or form the Harry Potter stories, their main characters, creatures, features, main characters names, creatures names or other names such as HOGWARTS, Buckbeak, Gillyweed and she didn't create HOGWARTS Castle or any of the title names of the released novels in the series either. I did and a whole lot more. The information I have revealed is true but plagiarism and how it was made to appear to the readers and public has meant that I am not believed but the truth will reveal itself to those who are really interested in knowing the real origin of the stories I am the creator of that others have taken credits for. My poem THE LIAR BIRD reveals the true origins of Harry Potter. Have a nice day. My author name is J K Rawling. Don't get it mixed up with that of the plagiarist.

I was screening four times per week. My patrons were children to adults and it was a really time consuming job but I enjoyed my position. I had to become a corporal and that was six weeks training. I failed the first course by half a question as the given time to answer the questions ran out but I passed the second time round.

    otter stories were really my main story-set that were created as one story initially but the drawings I drew became too many for one story and so I began adding titles to the sets of drawings that appeared to form a story segment in my main story. In time they were fattened by the addition of other drawings and so separate stories appeared. The titles were well thought out letter sets that had meaning and purpose known by me. They include details to remind me of things. One is in the 5th title.

    It was when I saw "The Philosopher's Stone" on my television several years after I had seen the film previewed on my television in 2001 and not before hand. Jo Rowling released the first novel in England and as I didn't generally buy novels I had no knowledge of the novels release in England or in Australia. Time waits for no man and so years passed quickly and in those years Jo Rowling was writing-out the story-lines to my stories. The were graphically drafted with much of the content named!

    Having set out the main stories scenes as sets of drawings allowed me to change plot-lines around quickly rather than fill pages of text that would form a novel written-up that explained the features and story-line presented in a drawing in my story-board set. I won't write about the other titles key-words here for the sake of brevity but I included my initials GS in the main characters name. Letter G is found linking Ha of Harry and letter S is found linking letters Po of Potter. I created him!

    That shopping center is named The Phoenix Shopping Center which had a simple sign until after a time when my friend Alan Page had been enthused enough to ask me about my drawing of the winged horse and of its purpose. Driving past it one day he asked me what I thought of the sign that showed a winged horse much like as I could remember my drawing of it. I liked the signs graphic appearance and thought it was much like my drawing of a phoenix horse with wings. I had also drawn a bird phoenix.
