Wonderful! Well deserved. Thats a funny acceptance speech, but I can relate to the sleep deprivation part. Although not the having more money than the queen part.

First that we have really heard from her in a while. The sleep deprived comment seems to indicate that she is not working on book 7 yet. Oh well she did give the impression it would be about 2 years.

Hiya!
Cool! Congratulations to J.K.! (which probably will never arrive her except for she'll be going through the internet sometimes ... ;) )
Anything else? Yes, I think she deserved those prices! She's a very good author and a very nice person. What's thatt stupid song from Sarah Connor again? "From a zero to a hero!" Yay! She made it. She deserved everything she earned with little Harrylein!
So long, Y:h.

Although HBP was not my favorite in the series, the book was pivotal. She did a wonderful job writing it. She deserves all or her awards and acclaim. Well Done JK.

Haha, with her new baby, she should be sleep deprived!! But she reaps what she sows: making us wait up all night to get the new books! Haha, she totally deserves every award she gets and can throw it in the face of all those naysayers who say her books breed satanism!

JKR honeslt deserves this award! HBP was so well-written and impossible to put down- I am so happy for her right now! This series is the Chronicles of Narnia for our generation- it's a classic in the making,

Kinda silly, cause it seems like she sorted founded 'Quills' you know what I mean? Really! It's like maybe she should be giving them out, not getting one.
But she is a good author.

Congratulations! Book of the Year is quite an accomplishment. Although I wouldn't classify HBP as a children's book. To me, it's more a young adult book (along with the previous two books), but I feel like no one even agrees with me on this. :-/
