"What does she (J. K. Rowling) hope people will take with them about this time? â€œWhen all the fuss and hoopla dies away, and when all the press commentary dies away, I think it will be seen that this phenomenon was generated, in the first instance, by kids loving a book. A book went on shelves, and a few people loved it. When all of the smoke and lights die away, thatâ€™s what youâ€™ll be left with. â€œAnd thatâ€™s the most wonderful thought for an author."
