The fact that Harry Potter was written on a Word Document format on a computer freaks me out. J.K. writing Harry Potter looks just like me writing a paper for my Shakespeare class an hour before its due…It just seems too simple for something so extraordinary. 

I always imagined her sitting in some sort of grandiose chair and her writing with a huge quilled pen or speaking the words aloud and them magically appearing a large, floating piece of paper or something. A process that could equate to the product, I suppose.

It’s not the tools that makes the artist great. It’s how they use them.
