J.K. Rowling Helped Harry Potter Director Chris Columbus Write A Children's Book!

When Harry Potter & The Sorcerer's Stone director Chris Columbus decided to write a children's book, there was a pretty obvious person to talk to!

He sought the advice of Harry Potter creator J.K. Rowling!

Ch-ch-check out the video (above) to find out how J.K.- and British fans of The Goonies- helped to make House Of Secrets what it is!

So what did the super successful author have to say about the finished product? She wrote:

"A breakneck, jam-packed roller coaster of an adventure about the secret power of books, HOUSE OF SECRETS comes complete with three resourceful sibling heroes, a seriously creepy villainess, and barrel loads of fantasy and fear."

Nice! Though she did finish the quote with a JK, so we're really not sure if she liked it or not! LOLz!

This Woman Just Found Out Her Childhood Molester Moved In Next Door -- AND IT'S LEGAL!

A sexual assault survivor's worst nightmare came true when she got home one day to find the man who molested her as a young girl had moved in next door.

Danyelle Dyer was "extremely shocked" when she learned that her abusive uncle would be moving in next door after getting released from prison on June 13 -- and there was nothing she could do to stop it.

After researching state laws in hopes of blocking the move, the 21-year-old's parents found out there were no restrictions in the state of Oklahoma on how far away a convicted sex offender must live from his victim.

Meaning Harold English, the uncle who sexually abused Dyer when she was a little girl, was legally able to move into his mother's home in Bristow following his prison release -- despite the house being right next door to where his victim has always lived.

Dyer admitted it was "disheartening to learn the law is not on our side," but she's refusing to let the unfortunate situation make her feel like a victim!

She explained to People:
