I don't know what I was expecting – normally New Yorker profiles are illuminating in their sheer length and exhaustiveness, and I confess I was curious to find out more about J.K. Rowling. But the fact that after reading this 10-page article I feel I know little more her inner life than I did before suggests to me that there really isn't that much to her. That's ok – not everyone can be some amazing extraordinarily charismatic fascinating individual. I guess it's just that her books have been so very successful, it's kind of disappointing that she herself seems so … well, ordinary. Anyway, if you've got time on your hands have a read and see what you think.
