This morning, J.K. Rowling appeared on Good Morning America to celebrate 15 years since Harry Potter and the Sorcerer’s Stone was released. A piece of the interview has been posted on GMA’s website and she talks about Dumbledore and meeting him in real life.
“Of all the other characters in the Harry Potter series, he’s the one I miss the most,” Rowling said. “I feel like I wrote Dumbledore from the back of my head. Sometimes he said things and told Harry things that I only knew I knew or believed until … I saw that I had written them down in the voice of Dumbledore,” Rowling said. “He was the character who was hardest to leave for me. He was the person who I’d have come back physically and sit and talk to me. It would be Dumbledore.”
“I’m afraid I’m going to be very selfish, and if anyone gets a shot, it’s me,” she said with a laugh. “It’s a difficult question and I have mulled it over at length, and I’ve considered world leaders who may benefit from some of his calm wisdom, but finally decided there’s really only one person who should meet Dumbledore and I think that’s me – because, of all the other characters in the Harry Potter series, he’s the one I miss the most.”
