Rowling was always someone I found to be conflicting. Like, yeah on one hand you could write her off as just another Hollywood Liberal - but I read somewhere that she actually LOST her networth of being a billionaire because she donated so much to charity. It's hard to criticize someone that will give more to help others than you will most likely make in your lifetime.

Charity or mebe she wanted tax breaks?

Easy come, easy go. It was never real money to her anyhow. She's much more enamored of the internet cool points she gets for being a philanthropist. Of course, many philanthropists were horrible people: Carnegie, Rockefeller, Gates.
