Pulled this from Muggle Net. My only coment is what ever happened to the no swimming until an hour after you eat rule? Who the hell puts a darned kitchen in with a pool!
She has lodged plans to add a copper-domed pool to the garden of her Perthshire mansion in a development expected to cost up to £500,000 ($750,000).
The floodlit swimming pool would be built adjacent to the six-bedroom Edwardian country home. It would stretch 60ft by 30ft and include four changing cubicles and a kitchen. Posted by Jamie on 12/08 | comments [27] | send to friend | submit news

Whatever happened to spending money on nice cars and such? A pool with a kitchen?! What's the point, you have to wait 1/2 hour after eating to swim anyways, so why have a kitchen so close? I think JK's doing this just so she has something to waste her money on.

I must admit though, as much as I want to make fun of her for it and what not, that actually sounds cool the more I think about it. Go swimming, then afterwards have a snack. Thinking about it made me hungry, so I baked cookies!
And, come to think of it, having a pool with a kitchen attached would be very convenient for parties. I guess I should have thought about it a little more. Now I want one!

Aw. I feel bad for Rowling sometimes. In so many interviews it says she misses going out in the public like a normal person. If you clicked on the link and read, her neighbor says that she loves swimming. She probably is buying it cause ... well ... where is there place for the Harry Potter author to swim in peace?
ON THE OTHER HAND.... its 500,000 pounds and going to be gigantic. I guess the negative aspecect cancels out with that monster.

This pool/ Kitchen idea would give the media more to talk about, not only the media but anyone who gets the chance to see it first hand. But I, myself would love to have one. It sounds very creative. Yes it's quite true that Ms. Rowling is bogged down with fans to the point where she doesn't have chance to go out much. That is often the price paid for fame or talent. But in a few years all that will die down, although she will always have a greatly remembered book.

Well, I don't think any of us were going to run over to her house and stop her...

I may go running over to her house to go swimming though. I wonder if she got a cool shape for it, or if it is just some boaring requtangle.
I can't remember who's house it was, but I was watching MTV's Cribbs one day, and the pool at the place was like a jungle. Had a waterfall and plants all around it. It was really nice looking. JK should do something like that.

I'm sure that if it cost that much, it's probably a little better than a boring rectangle, depending on the kitchen, whatever else she has, and the design of the enclosement (once again, I think I made up a word, but it's all I could think of to put there)

Dude!!! That would be so much fun!!!! If I was as disgustingly rich as she is I would definatly get one too!! I'd want alot of water slides to go with it though... hehe!

Yes, perhaps she should, but I think when they said "she likes to swim" they ment lap swimming. And besides she would soon be bored with the slides, and have no use for them.
That jungle idea doesn't sound bad at all, infact why doesn't she just make it a rainforest with a fake storm and rain too(mist). Have steam coming from the waterfall.Add a tropical bar to the kitchen area and some nice Tropical Island music and you got heaven.I would fancy that greatly at my house, if of course I had the money.
