Many great writers involved with this, very much worth it if interested. Reasonable price too.

It's a tad bit rich for me to see Rowling accuse Watson of being "Ignorant" when JKR herself has not looked the facts behind the Transgender issue, a demographic that is statistically small to begin with.
