Have you read The Casual Vacancy? That's an adult novel she wrote.
I have not, although I read the cover sleeve yesterday while I was visiting a used-book store! Are you familiar with the book's plot?
It has inter-locking plots, but someone dies early on. It's set in a town called Pagford.
Very interesting! I just recently finished the Cormoran Strike novels, which she wrote under the pseudonym Robert Galbraith. Are you familiar with those?
Yes, he's a private investigator. There was a BBC television series based on it.
Yes, that's right! I watched the first two seasons (equivalent to the first two books) of that series. I will say though...nothing compares to the Harry Potter books. I read them all as a child, and just recently listened to them all on Audible. Do you have a favorite character?
I don't have a favorite, but Severus Snape is a complex character. Do you like Severus Snape?? 
I agree. I did not like him until the second-to-last book in the series, when Rowling allowed us to see underneath of his cold, hardened exterior. My favorite character is definitely Hermione, but I have a special connection with each character. 
Hermione Granger's parents were dentists. Is that your connection with her?
Haha, no! I connect with her because she is kind, smart & loyal. Overall, I really admire J.K. Rowling as an author. However, I am unsure of how to feel about her recent statements about Trans women. Are you familiar with this controversy?  
Yes, she supported Maya Forstater who lost her job for being anti-trans.
Yes. I was both shocked and disappointed to hear this. I struggle to decide where I stand because she has been a huge part of my childhood, but I do not agree with her personal statements. To support and love Harry Potter does not necessarily mean I support her views, but some people seem to feel that way.
You can still love the Harry Potter books even if you disagree with Rowling.
That's good to hear. I know that deep down, but as I said, it's been a recent internal struggle for me.
Are people criticizing you for still liking Harry Potter?
