Alison Craig asked Cornelia Funke:

Your characters seem so real, with their faults, loves and virtues all tumbled together - like the rest of us. You seem to genuinely care for each character you write. Is it difficult to "let them go" out into the real world where people can love or hate them, like letting a child move away from the protection of home?

Cornelia Funke O no, Alison, I never worry about them! They care about their own worlds. Ours is quite unimportant for most of them - unless they are quite vain:) I think it is enough that I love them- ..though...maybe they don't even care about that!:) By the way I definitely don't like them all. Orpheus for exampIe I wanted to kill off so badly but he escaped!

I have read hours on end this trilogy, and how many times, I cannot say. WHY did you put me though all of those tears when Dustfinger traded his life for Friad's???????? WHY WHY WHY??????????????????????????????!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Samantha asked Cornelia Funke:

Hi Cornelia, I read the Inkheart series a while ago, and they were incredibly good, I very much enjoyed reading them. Where did the idea for the series come from? And, since it has been turned into a movie, does it annoy you that the movie changes the book?

Graycelin asked Cornelia Funke:

Hi Cornelia. I know I asked you a question before, but I have another one. :) Were you happy with the movie? Do you think they captured your characters well? I personally loved both the movie and the book...what did you think? Thanks! Graycelin
