I've grown a lot as an artist and the art grew up as Harry did too. I happened to be invited to do this job. Because of the writing - nothing I did- it turned into an amazing litterary experience and I just happen to be the illustrator.
Lors d'une longue interview de l'auteur, par Molly Millett pour le Saint Paul Pionneer Press, la valeur financière de sa contribution a été abordée.
Has Harry made her as rich as he made Rowling?
- No, no, I wish, GrandPre says, laughing. Still no royalties. Just a flat fee. It's a nice pay but I'm not a rich woman.
The fee GrandPre was paid for books four to seven was adjusted, however, from what she was paid for the first few books.
- Unfortunately with book one, nobody knew then how big Harry would get. I had signed agreements that weren't in balance with what was going to happen.
Has she since earned enough from Harry to, say, put her daughter, 2-year-old, Julia, through college some day?
- No.
