Rowling, J.K. “Press Release: JK Rowling says ‘No writer’s block,'” The Scotsman, October 2001
PRESS RELEASE: Resigned though I have become to seeing the name “Harry Potter” in articles containing little news and less truth, when The Scotsman decides to devote most of its front page (8 August) to several columns of total fabrication, the moment has come to protest. As I, my publishers and my agent have stated since the publication of Goblet of Fire, in July 2000, there was never any intention of publishing the fifth Harry Potter book in 2001, nor has any deadline ever been set for the delivery of the manuscript.
These facts have been on record for over a year and, as children all over Britain have grasped them with ease, I am mystified to know why “Scotland’s national newspaper” is so slow on the uptake.
I made it clear last summer that I wanted to take the time to make sure that book five was not dashed off to meet a deadline, but was completed to my full satisfaction as its predecessors have been, as I was committed to producing two additional books for Comic Relief this year.
There is no writer’s block; on the contrary, when your journalists take a break from leaning on my doorbell, I am writing away very happily.
And while we are on the subject of non-news, some people seem to need reminding that wearing a swimsuit in the vicinity of a man in shorts does not constitute a marriage ceremony, even on Mauritius.

Allison, Rebecca. “JK Rowling praises film company as it works its magic on Harry Potter,” The Guardian, September 5, 2001
The boy wizard who started life as nothing more than the figment of an aspiring author’s imagination yesterday became reality for his fans as the first photographs of his screen character were unveiled.
Harry Potter enthusiasts everywhere will finally be able to see for themselves whether the film version of the unlikely hero and his magical world live up to the images conjured up by JK Rowling’s bestselling book Harry Potter and the Philosopher’s Stone.
The pictures from the film, taken by Annie Leibovitz and published in Vanity Fair magazine, were praised by the author who was delighted at the authenticity of the characters.
There are also glimpses of the staff and pupils of Hogwarts school for wizards as well as some of the elaborate sets designed to bring Rowling’s creation to life.
“I’ve been watching it in my head for nine years now – and finally I’ll get to see it along with everybody else,” Rowling told the magazine.
She said that she had turned down offers from a series of studios to make a film but had eventually accepted Warner Brothers’ involvement because they were willing to stay true to the books.
“I’m not against the idea of a film – I love films. The vital thing for me was that it would be true to the book and I have great faith in Warners’ commitment to that.”
David Heyman, the producer, said Rowling was amazed when she first saw Diagon Alley, the gathering place in London for wizards.
“She wanted to spend the rest of the day alone in Diagon Alley. She said the layout was exactly the way she’d been thinking and she and art director Stuart Craig hadn’t even discussed it,” he said.
Director Chris Columbus admitted that he had sought the expertise of his young daughter before making certain decisions: “She would be the first person to say ‘that looks fake’, or ‘that’s the wrong colour’.
Its star, Daniel Radcliffe, will play the 11-year-old wizard as he starts at Hogwarts and makes friends with Hermione Granger, (Emma Watson) and Ron Weasley (Rupert Grint).
Robbie Coltrane takes the part of Hogwarts’ grounds keeper. John Cleese plays ghost Nearly Headless Nick and Richard Griffiths and Fiona Shaw will play the uncle and aunt who adopt Harry.

Kurtz, Frank. “Rowling Denies Writer’s Block Rumors,” Associated Press, 10 August 2001
J. K. Rowling is personally debunking rumors that a writer’s block is what is preventing the fifth [HARRY POTTER] novel from getting written and published for 2001. The rumor had been reported by the UK’s The Scotsman newspaper.
Rowling swiftly responded to the rumor in a letter to the paper, stating, “There is no writer’s block – on the contrary, I am writing away very happily.
“Regarding the as yet untitled fifth book’s release date, Rowling says, “As I, my publishers and my agent have stated since the publication of [GOBLET OF FIRE] in July 2000, there was never any intention of publishing the fifth [HARRY POTTER] in 2001, nor has any deadline ever been set for the delivery of the manuscript.”
