"If you read a book you want to interpret it in your own way. Nothing is more annoying than an author who wants to force an interpretation. "

*rolls eyes*

I don't think answering questions about one's own characters is automatically forcing anything. If they're just saying "this is what the character would grow up to do" if it's their character, that's they're right.

Unless they're saying people can't think or write anything else every time they say something, they're not. IIRC JK Rowling has even said that she thinks some alternate interpretations (black Hermione for example) are cool.

She expressed surprise that people are fawning over her rude racist bully character, and stated that he was a jerk and not 'a misunderstood loner'. There is interpreting a character a different way based on what's in the text. And then there's turning the character into something completely different than what's shown.

The fact that you describe an author stating things about their characters as 'forcing an interpretation says more about you than it does her tbh. An author is going to state things about their character and what happens to them post story. That's not forcing you to do anything.
