Melissa Anelli, who interviewed J. K. Rowling for "The Leaky Cauldron", revealed the following:
"I still don't know how we got on the topic, but Jo said that she is a tremendous WEST WING fan. Although in retrospect, and comparing writing styles, this seems a natural and unsurprising fact, nothing on this great wide earth could have made me happier, as I love that show with a passion, and admire Aaron Sorkin's writing almost as much as I do Jo's. She waxed on about him, and how intense his life must have been, to write those shows the way he does."
