LONDON (Reuters) – Author JK Rowling was so upset about killing off one of the main characters in her latest Harry Potter saga that she burst into tears.
But the creator of the teenage wizard said it was vital to be strong because if “you are writing children’s books, you need to be a ruthless killer.”
The identity of the character who meets his or her end in “Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix” has been kept a closely guarded secret and Rowling hopes it will stay that way until the book is published on Saturday.
