The entire mystery of Rowlings, Harry Potter et al is quietly and efficiently laid to rest right here- http://www.bogsideartists.com/lipo/index.html. Once you have read it you will understand all. You will understand the Rowling camp's terror of public scrutiny and the 'legal' attempts to prevent it; Rowling's self-deluded manic attempts to protect 'authorship'; her agent Little's and his partner Blair's scrupulous absence from the public eye, Rowling's carefully choreographed interviews and timed insertions in the media and indeed the entire smokescreen that surrounds Harry Potter. The truth, if you can handle it, is here. Jacobs we believe was ripped off but the engine of the story, its real essence and the philosophy behind it is the brainchild of one of us, The Bogside Artists. William conceived of the story and unwittingly handed it on a plate to Rowling never thinking for an instant, until it was too late, that his story was at risk. That is the truth.
Ignored, trivialized or crucified... the truth goes marching on. All else is so much whistling in the storm.
