It’s J.K. Rowling like you’ve never read her before: sex, drugs — and language that would make Hermione Granger turn scarlet.

The “Harry Potter” author’s first novel for adults is set to hit bookstores Thursday, and Rowling is making no excuses for the very grownup prose and plotline in “The Casual Vacancy.”

In a rare interview, Rowling shrugged off the suggestion that she will face criticism for exposing fans of her G-rated wizard series to the kind of novel that likens a used condom to “the gossamer cocoon of some huge grub.”

“There is no part of me that feels that I represented myself as your children’s baby-sitter or their teacher,” Rowling told the New Yorker magazine.

“I was always, I think, completely honest. I’m a writer, and I will write what I want to write.”

The contents of the 512-page book — already No. 3 on the Amazon best-seller list based on preorders — have been guarded as closely as the Sorcerer’s Stone.

Even as a child, I always wondered what butterbeer tastes like.

So what? She's an author with complete creative control over what she writes.

Considering how great the Harry Potter books are, I'll probably be checking this out. Just because she incorporates sex/drugs in this book doesn't make her writing any less exciting. No more exciting either, as she has proven she can write really well without such things.
 
^ btw I know what butterbeer tastes like!!! I'm serious. Lol... Ok so heres what it is:

2 parts cream soda
1 part butterscotch shnapps
Serve cold as a witches tit in a glass mug.

Me too :3 I think they have it at Universal Studios now in Harry Potter and I recently moved to Florida so I gotta check it out.

I agree she has the freedom to write what she wants. I will definitely be reading it.
