"I love The Simpsons because of the detail -- there are so many layers and it works for kids and for adults."

―J.K. Rowling

Joanne Rowling, better known by her pen name, J.K. Rowling, is the author of the Harry Potter book series.

Rowling appeared on The Simpsons as herself in the episode "The Regina Monologues," where she had a brief scene talking with Lisa.

In real life, Rowling is a longtime fan of the show, and was especially pleased with the Harry Potter spoof in "Treehouse of Horror XII," which showed Bart and Lisa going to wizard school. She's been a fan of the Simpsons for years, and was especially pleased when the programme did a Potter spoof in 2001, with Bart and Lisa going to wizard school.

Trivia

Rowling's surname is pronounced with a long "o" sound, so that it rhymes with "bowling" (the sport).
