People ask me if there are going to be stories of Harry Potter as an adult.

There's a tendency at the senior and middle-manager level to be too big-picturish and too superficial. There is a phrase, "The devil is in the details."

I like to work from details to big pictures.

I finished over the summer through correspondence.
