I can kind of understand it, though. She doesn't have to be greedy to feel that way, I mean.
I think after that many books, movies, theme parks, etc. of a series, I'd be sick of it, too. No matter how much it started as a labor of love, you probably hit a saturation point eventually. I actually kind of feel sorry for her, in a way -- she's kind of got classic "top of the world" syndrome, not unlike astronauts. When you've hit a peak like that, where do you go, and how do you deal with all the high expectations people have for you?
In a way, I think it would be hard.
They say that Emma Watson is going through something similar -- I saw some article awhile back about how she wanted to be treated normally, but everyone knows her as Hermione Granger. Seems like it'd be a little lonely.
Not that I don't volunteer to get super rich and famous on my writing so I can report back and confirm/deny whether it's tough or not.
