Shall We Play a Game?

Guess the author of this quote:

“When all is said and done, "canon” could perhaps be best and most accurately defined simply as material over which the author maintains control.

Forgive me if I'm wrong, but anything that the author creates, she maintains control over... right, brad...?

[carissa_lynn]

Oh, I completely agree, but some people are just so mad at JKR for daring to speak about her books after the last one is published, they refuse to see those snippets as canon and think she should just let it go!

No, not Brad. Keep playing though!

[julephenia]

Of course, if these people were ever published, every word they ever say for the rest of time would be from God's mouth...

Good goddess.

... Cassie?

Your "irony" tag plus the pedantic tone really only leave one possibility, I'd say!

Let me guess: Jo had unprecedented control over the movies, therefore they were canon, and H/G was dooooooomed, amirite?

Yes! You win! Have a cookie.

I know. Isn't it cute the way they change their minds from day to day to fit whichever theory they are currently touting?
