I absolutely did not start writing these books to encourage any child into witchcraft… I’m laughing slightly because to me, the idea is absurd.
I have met thousands of children now, and not even one time has a child come up to me and said, “Ms. Rowling, I’m so glad I’ve read these books because now I want to be a witch.” They see it for what it is… It is a fantasy world and they understand that completely….
I don’t believe in magic, either.
J.K. Rowling
