But when you start to have a lot of people see a different story than you think you're telling, you're doing something wrong
Considering the size of her audience, "a lot of people" insisting that they know better than she does still is only a fraction of the whole. And I see it from her side - she's been living with this story for a very long time and people are pressing her harder and harder and harder to do it "their" way.
But I don't think that Rowling's evil for laughing, particularly considering how badly she was pre-emptively treated by those people for the crime of telling her story her way.
I also think that while she is doubtless tired, there was a cutoff built in from the moment she started the series. Personally, I think that's probably WHY she's under so much pressure now - fans think that there's only one more book to "fix" it their way. No matter what other fans want, much less her.
