I've been surprised by how little criticism i've got. harry potter's been taking all the flak. i'm a great fan of j.k. rowling, but the people - mainly from america's bible belt - who complain that harry potter promotes satanism or witchcraft obviously haven't got enough in their lives. meanwhile, i've been flying under the radar, saying things that are far more subversive than anything poor old harry has said. my books are about killing god.

More From Philip Pullman

They had reached lockhart's classroom...'you could've fried an egg on your face" said ron. 'you'd better hope creevey doesn't meet ginny, or they'll be starting a harry potter fan club.' 'shut up,' snapped harry. the last thing he needed was for lockhart to hear the phrase 'harry potter fan club.

Harry potter isn’t real? oh no! wait, wait, what do you mean by real? is this video blog real? am i real if you can see me and hear me, but only through the internet? are you real if i can read your comment but i don’t know who you are or what your name is or where you’re from or what you look like or how old you are? i know all of those things about harry potter. maybe harry potter’s real and you’re not.

Okay. now my skin is really prickling. i've read all the harry potter books, all five of them. i don't remember any half-blood prince. "what's this?" trying to sound casual, i point at the ad, "what's harry potter and the half-blood prince?" "that's the latest book," garth the other trainee, says. "it came out ages ago." i can't help gasping. "there's a sixth harry potter?" "there's a seventh out soon!" diana steps forward eagerly. "and guess what happens at the end of book six-" "shh!" exclaims nicole, the other nurse. "don't tell her!

I never wanted to do harry potter. i thought it should have stayed as a book. there are some books that should be made into movies and some that shouldn't. harry potter is 70% imagination. when the movie comes out, it's going to be such a stereotype for kids. when they think of harry potter, they're going to think of what is portrayed on screen.

If i could just get broom to cooperate, we could fly, glo said. then we wouldn't have to worry about traffic. harry potter didn't have to worry about traffic. you relize harry potter isn't real, right? of course, but he could be. i mean, maybe not harry potter, but someone like him. who's to say?

I don't have a very high opinion, actually, of the world of criticism - or the practice of criticism. i think i admire art criticism, criticism of painting and sculpture, far more than i do that of say films and books, literary or film criticism. but i don't much like the practice. i think there are an awful lot of bad people in it.

Similar Quotes

It's hard not to respond when a master of the art of kissing is laying one on you.

In the 2000s, i became an artist. i started preserving and educating. i became more obsessed with making ipod playlists for people.

Nothing great or enduring, especially in music, has ever sprung full-fledged and unprecedented from the brain of any master; the best he gives to the world he gathers from the hearts of the people, and runs it through the alembic of his genius.

I invest because i'm really a firm believer in letting the artist make their work, if you choose to work with an artist then you give them the go-ahead.
