I think it's a great thing to support, especially if you're a fan of the HP series. @ The Dude:

The rest she personally gave away to people involved in the writing of the Harry Potter series. You need to correct your article - Only ONE (1) copy was auctioned off, and bought by Amazon.

Because it really bothers me. JK Rowling wrote a series of books that is without a doubt a pop-culture phenomenon, and it happens to be fairly decent. But the bard is Shakespeare, and JK Rowling is nowhere near that level. Does anybody else get offended when people refer to anybody other than Shakespeare as “the bard” ?
