what the dedications mean

hi everyone....this is what j.k. meant while dedicating these books 2 the following ppl.....i thot it was interesting and worth sharing-

Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix To Neil, Jessica and David, who make my world magical Explanation: Dr. Neil Murray is Jo's husband, Jessica, her daughter, and David, her son. Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince To Mackenzie, my beautiful daughter, I dedicate her ink and paper twin Explanation: Mackenzie Jean Rowling Murray, Jo's third child, was born on January 23rd, 2005. According to JKRowling.com: "She is ridiculously beautiful, though I suppose I might be biased." According to Emerson, who saw Mackenzie when he visited Jo's house to interview her: "She's a cute pink ball." "I dedicate her ink and paper twin" - Mackenzie and Book 6 were being "made" (developed/written) around the same time, and were both finished (born/published) almost simultaneously, hence Mackenzie's "ink and paper twin".

Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows The dedication of this book is split seven ways: to Neil, to Jessica, to David, to Kenzie, to Di, to Anne, and to you, if you have stuck with Harry until the very end.

Explanation: The "seven-way split" refers to some of those with whom Jo has shared her life while writing Harry; Dr. Neil Murray is Jo's husband; Jessica, David, and Mackenzie are her children; Di is Jo's younger sister, Dianne; Anne is Jo's mother who died at 45 of MS (although Jo's mother did not know of the books since she died early on, Jo has said her death had a profound influence on how the series was written), and the final dedication is to all the fans who have made Harry's journey their own.

pretty good... and i think the book was also split into seven, similary to voldemort's horcruxes.
