In an interesting, yet funny article
from Norway, film director Nina Grünfeld asks "Is it possible that JK Rowling exists?" Grünfeld believes that Rowling is a pseudonym of a group of writers who have written the Harry Potter series, much like the Nancy Drew series. She asks how is it possible for a single mother to create a book that has been published into over 55 languages and sold more than 250 million copies in less than 10 years.
According to the article:
I think the secret behind JK Rowling is guarded more strongly than the entrance to Willy Wonka's chocolate factory. The truth, she believes, won't emerge until the market for Harry Potter is saturated, until the actress behind JK Rowling gets tired of her role and not until the real authors behind the pseudonym feel an enormous need for recognition.
Norwegian translator Torstein Bugge Høverstad, who has translated the Harry Potter books notes that:
The books offer evidence that just one author is behind them. He notes how it took three years to get the fourth book finished, and he sees consistent weaknesses in Rowling's writing that no group of hack writers would leave behind.

WHAT??? I have NEVER heard something so Stupid!! Somebody always has to try and discredit anyone who accomplishes anything worth taking notice of. I'm amazed that someone actually published that! It's sad really that someone is eaither that stupid or that jelous. They would probably be sued if it wasn't for the fact that it's funny and obviously wrong.

This i so so stupid. It is so obvious that JK Rowling is the actual author when you read the HP books. You can see how her writing skills have developed over these ...what... six is it? years that she has been a writer. Also, she has been seen! She is a walking, talking human author!

I think that comment was a little bit stupid. If loads of writers were writing it why is always in the same style, why does it take so long to write, and how do all those little sub-plots come together so effotlessly?
I think that woman wants attention and is doing that by talking about J.K.Rowling!

That is really stupid! They have actualy interviewed JK Rowling, so unless that was some actress in a mask, we can assume it was written by one person. The crazy things people come up with...
