My ultimate goal is to drive people back to the books, when I think of an adaptation.

I have spent many, many hours reading J.K. Rowling's work. I am a known 'Harry Potter' fan.

Book tours are excellent things, and one is lucky to get to go on one, but they have a way of leeching away one's will to live.

You didn’t get the quest you wanted, you got the one you could do.

Wasn't there a spell for making yourself happy? Somebody must have invented one. How could he have missed it? Why didn't they teach it? Was it in the library, a flying book fluttering just out of reach, beating its wings against some high window?

More than fantasy or even science fiction, Ray Bradbury wrote horror, and like so many great horror writers he was himself utterly without fear, of anything. He wasn't afraid of looking uncool - he wasn't scared to openly love innocence, or to be optimistic, or to write sentimentally when he felt that way.

He who completes a quest does not merely find something. He becomes something.
