Did J.K. Rowling direct Harry Potter?

Contrary to the the studios claim J.K. Rowling DOES appear in the second film as an uncredited professor at the head table. Unfortunately sometimes on the Internet people sometimes do no research before they attempt to correct answers that do not need to be corrected. The answer below was erroneously placed here to perpetuate the myth that J.K.Rowling did not appear in any of the films. This of course is false and can be discovered if only you seek the answer.

"No. It has been said the director asked JK Rowling if she wanted to be Harry's mother in the Sorcerer's Stone movie, but she said no because she thought she would mess it up somehow."

This answer is based on speculation and has no real merit in the face if the visual evidence.

See for yourself.
