I think that's the problem when you become known for a series (books, films, TV programs) - it's very difficult to shake the label of one hit wonder (in the broadest sense of the term) unless you're proactive about doing different things to make sure people don't associate you with just the one thing... perhaps if she'd written other novels in between writing Harry Potter books, she wouldn't have this problem, but she dedicated herself to writing it and now the success of that has surpassed her abilities as an author I think to recreate that magic elsewhere.
It must be weirdly frustrating for her; she's made millions out of writing seven books and yet anything else she does gets overlooked because of that success. It's hard for her to avoid talking about it because it's hard for her to avoid being asked about it.
