and the part i wanted to play was hermione

u mad bro?

No

Did that really happen - I can’t find evidence of this anywhere?

For those reading the idiotic comment above, JKR was one part of the huge Levenson Inquiry in 2011 into the tactics of the UK gutter press and Rupert Murdoch that includes the tactics Rowling recounts along with phone tapping and bugging. There were many well known UK celebrities involved including Hugh Grant and Steve Coogan. Anyone who gives a shit about the behaviour of the mainstream media understands the significance of it. "Why is this project important? The Leveson Inquiry into the culture, practices and ethics of the press was the most public and wide-ranging inquiry of its kind in British history - a reflection of the central role of news and journalism in modern society. Witnesses included five prime ministers, leading proprietors and editors, journalists, celebrities, judges and victims of wrongdoing, and their testimony was seen live by large audiences online and on television. The rise of ‘fake news’ and the accelerating decline of print have ensured that the Inquiry’s important work on press freedom, responsible media and safeguarding remains as topical as ever - yet the archive content has remained inaccessible to many. It had been structured according to a logic that made sense for a live inquiry, but that logic no longer applied and the site became increasingly bewildering. It did not help that for some time there was no search tool at all. This precious resource was crying out for new thinking, new signposting and new explanatory material to guide the reader impartially through the issues - and for the best search tools. Discover Leveson delivers those. Two years in the making, Discover Leveson is a new, fully searchable and freshly curated online public archive, ensuring that any reader, from the professional to the casual, can now tap into this rich resource easily and even enjoyably. In this way, the efforts of the Inquiry and of those who gave evidence will not be wasted, and there is a greater chance that its primary mission - learning lessons for the future regulation of journalism - will be fulfilled. The archive is of great historical significance, capturing a picture of Britain’s 300-year-old print press industry in the final period of its power. But the main task of the Inquiry was forward-looking, addressing questions that remain pressing today and will do so into the future. How can the public interest be defined, and by whom? When might journalists be justified in intruding into someone’s privacy? When does partisanship compromise accuracy? Can regulators be truly independent? Can journalists be compelled to accept a regulator’s authority without creating a form of censorship? What is the proper role of politicians in the regulation of journalism and how far are they subject to improper influence from by editors and proprietors? Working with the National Archives and partners the SDS Group, the David & Elaine Potter Foundation and the Alexander Mosley Charitable Trust, Kingston University has designed a free, fully searchable, intuitively curated resource, putting this rich archive of material in easy reach of the general public, and also of researchers and professionals across journalism, communications, law, history, politics, criminology and other fields." discoverleveson.co.uk/home/aboutproject

Because being a victim is your sacred identity of course.

So it okay for the mainstream media to invade the privacy of a family Because of one member is a well known person like that if this was anyone else you would say no and you would definitely be saying no if it was someone you know on a personal level just because you disagree with JKR doesn’t mean you get to choose who’s the victim in this case the evidence does that alongside testimony does. Act accordingly and think to your age not your shoe size .

@agnostic268 , do you realise what she is talking about? If so, and you don't see her as a victim here, then you are condoning gutter journalism and phone hacking. Please choose your words more carefully.

This was in 2011 plus she has the courage of Gryffindor and the hard work ethic of Hufflepuff and the wisdom of Ravenclaw and the cunning of Slytherin on her side so she can handle it

What,her success at bullying young people with disabilities…..shame on the U.k and anyone else that supports her
