Viviennen vika oli että sillä oli originaali mieli, ei siis yhtään feminiininen. Tomppa suhtautui naisiin niinkuin juutalaisiin, ne on irrationaalisia. Se ei oikeestaan tykännytkään naisista, vaan pikemminkin miehistä. Naiset oli siitä hiukka pelottavia.

xxx/ellauri103.html on line 400: Kaksitoista kustantajaa hylkäsi sen ennen kuin vastikään lastenkirjallisuusosaston perustanut Bloomsbury Publishing kiinnostui siitä. Se tarjosi käsikirjoituksesta 1 500 puntaa, jonka Rowling hyväksyi, sillä hänelle se oli iso raha. Ei taida olla enää. Kustantamo halusi kirjaan kirjailijan nimikirjaimet, jotta myynti olisi mahdollisimman hyvä: siellä uskottiin, etteivät pojat lukisi naiskirjailijan kirjoja. Turha vaiva kyllä Potterit on voittopuolisesti tyttöjen.
