    It’s a transcript from a Q&A session she did in 2007, around the time of the last book and the OotP film, so a few years after PoA (book and film).

    Edit: And here’s an interview with a dutch newspaper from 2007 where she says Voldemort is kind of a Hitler https://archive.is/Pi45t (warning, it’s in Dutch)

      Maybe I’m misremembering, but I promise I didn’t just make that up! I can’t find the article I saw when I was young, but it was, like, openly hostile to the idea of it. Maybe it was someone else and I attributed it to her or something. :/

        I’m not saying that she didn’t say it, she said a lot of stuff over the years. I assume she changed her mind, given you said it was around the time of PoA. If I’m not mistaken she had quite some influence on the films and in the last two films you literally see people running around in what look like Nazi uniforms.
