She deserves that and more. She is not only a terrific author, but also a good mother, an exemplary woman, and an admirable human being. Well done, JKR!

Congratulations! Book of the Year is quite an accomplishment. Although I wouldn't classify HBP as a children's book.

Well deserved award, they would have been mad not to have given it to her. They ought to nominate JK for the Noble Peace Prize, for HP, because it has brought so many people together, from all around the world. She has my nomination...

Sleep deprived mother, know how that feels! But to be a world-famous author on top of that, I can't imagine handling all that, personally, she is some kind of superwoman! Congratulations on another job well done!

Half-Blood Prince was an amazing book, I still say Prisoner of Azkaban is my favourite but JKR completely deserves this award, she is such a good author and once again she did a brilliant job with HBP!
