Have you ever considered the fact that there are children somewhere who are friends with J.K Rowling’s children and have probably met her a million times and just go like ‘Sup Joanne’ like its no big deal

No story lives unless someone wants to listen. - J.K. Rowling
“20 years from now, 50 years from now, 100 years from now, while the books are still being read, What do you most hope the children take away from the experience of reading Harry potter?”

This may surprise people but it is the truth, in many many ways Hufflepuff is my favourite house. There comes a point in the final book where each house has the choice whether or not to rise to a certain challenge, the Slytherins for reasons understandable decide they’d rather not play. The Ravenclaws - some do, some decide they won’t. The Hufflepuffs, virtually to a person, decide to stay. As too do the Gryffindors. Now the Gryffindors comprise a lot of fool-hardy and show-offy people, that’s just the way it is - I’m a Gryffindor I’m allowed to say that. You know there’s bravery and there’s also show-boating, sometimes the two go together. The Hufflepuffs stayed for a different reason - they weren’t trying to show off, they weren’t being reckless, that’s the essence of Hufflepuff house.
Now my eldest child, my daughter Jessica said something very profound to me not very many days ago, she said to me - and she by the way was not sorted into Hufflepuff house - she said to me, “I think we should all want to be Hufflepuffs.” I can only say to you that I would not be at all disappointed to be sorted into Hufflepuff house so I’m a little upset anyone does feel that way.

![JKR: I was having a girly chat with Emma in her dressing room about three or four years ago and she said to me “I think I’m gonna end up having to kiss Rupert, aren’t I?” And I said “Well if I write it the way I’m planning to write it, you’ll end up having to kiss both of them.” And she was mortified and rolled off the sofa laughing. EMMA: I was only fourteen! And the idea was absolutely horrific! [x]](http://25.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_lqnrq8H2qb1qb0zfoo1_500.png)
