With regards to the "Follow Your Dreams" platitudes, here are some quotes from Terry Pratchett that I think JKR would agree with: 'The secret is not to dream,’ she whispered, ‘The secret is to wake up. Waking up is harder. I have woken up and I am real. I know where I come from and I know where I’m going.' ("!The Wee Free Men") and Miss Tick sniffed. “You could say this advice is priceless,” she said, “Are you listening?” “Yes,” said Tiffany. “Good. Now...if you trust in yourself...” “Yes?” “...and believe in your dreams...” “Yes?” “...and follow your star...” Miss Tick went on. “Yes?” “...you’ll still be beaten by people who spent their time working hard and learning things and weren’t so lazy. Goodbye.” (also from "The Wee Free Men")
I think JKR's voice in reading the Strike novels would be fine. That being said, Robert Glenister's voice characterizations were superb. Thanks for the interview.
