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.

Agree and I think one hit wonder is an appropriate expression. She got lucky with the Harry Potter series. There are authors doing similarly themed book much better but she is the one who's a billionaire and world famous and has received numerous awards. I dont think she will ever surpass the success of Harry Potter which makes me wonder why she ended the series so completely. I would place money on there being some sort of Harry Potter prequel or sequel coming out at some point in the future cuz I cant see what else she can do that will give her the same amount of success.
