I just finished watching the Special Features on the new Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows, part 2 BluRay and I’m now obsessed with an extra behind the scenes feature called, “The Women of Harry Potter.”
Here are some of the best quotes:
What’s interesting about the wizarding world is when you take physical strength out of the equation a woman can fight just the same as a man can fight, a woman can do magic just as well as a man can do magic. - Jo Rowling
On the incredible character, Molly Weasley: It comes from her womb, that feeling of defense, defending her child, because she’s already lost one. So it’s the mother, the lion, the female lion defending her babies, so it’s unstoppable. … I doubt that would have taken place had it been a man writing it.- Julie Walters
Hermione is an exaggeration of me, she comes from a very deep place inside me. … I was a very insecure person for longer than I like to admit. And I think writing about the time in Hermione’s life that I write about, growing from childhood into womanhood literally, because when we finish the books she’s 18, I think it brought back me how very difficult it is, so much is expected of you as you become a woman and often yo are asked to sacrifice parts of yourself as a girl and Hermione doesn’t.- Jo Rowling
The key to Luna is that she actually has that unbelievably rare quality where she doesn’t give a damn what anybody thinks about her.- Jo Rowling
It’s sometimes very difficult as a woman to say well, actually this is who I am and I’m not going to pretend otherwise - but that’s the only way to be truly happy and that’s what I would say to girls particularly. - Jo Rowling
