I thought she's only co-authoring the cursed child?
and she also writes in other genre(s?) under other name(s?) but that doesn't sell so well so we mostly don't even know about it

Yes, she co-authored The Cursed Child. But still, she is an author of it xD
I like the books within books :)
Right, I have the books in two languages as well! And I have a few games for PC and Wii :)

which I'm not sure she's getting because everyone knows it's her anyway and many people just don't accept that she writes something other than hp so they give mean reviews for the sake of it. you know stuff like "I wish she just kept to hp" is not very encouraging. and it comes from people who don't accept her as a serious author and want her to stay in the "sandbox" as well as from her fans who feel jealous and abandoned because they don't get fed enough hp. I'm afraid most of the reviewers know who she is and are biased, no matter if it's a good or a bad kind of bias. and you can see the bias just looking at the reviews to the cursed child! when I was reading reviews to CC, there were two clearly distinguishable groups of people: (1) the book is fantastic because it's rowling! and (2) the book is horrible because it's not rowling. you don't even need to look how people review her books under pen-names. the bias is already obvious from how her co-authored book is treated: if they liked it, it's good because the author. if they didn't, it's bad because she's not the "real" author and she should have just done everything alone and those dudes totally messed things up. that's what people write. unfortunately.

When the first book was published nobody knows it was her ;)
She told It after the first reviews.. but its bad nobody can write a normal review.
I tried one of het other books, with the red cover.. But I stop reading it after 10 pages. It's difficult for me to read it.
It's annoying me that people are having real big discussions about cursed child and fantastic beast. You don't have to like it, but if others do just let them!

I agree with that.
The author should not matter, if you like the book/movie, simply enjoy it and that's it.

yes. Authors to me are mainly just another clue to let me see if a book might be something I'd like. But once you then read it, you have to judge what is there, not your expectations
