9 J.K. Rowling Tweets That Give Us the Feels

“Harry Potter” has made us laugh and cry since we first read the books as little kids. There’s no doubt J.K. Rowling is a fantastic writer. But she’s more than just a great author; she’s a funny and inspiring woman. Some of her (punny) tweets prove the point. Here are some of our favorites.

1 When she told us about the fate of Harry’s son James.

Have just heard that James S Potter has been Sorted (to nobody’s surprise) into Gryffindor. Teddy Lupin (Head Boy, Hufflepuff) disappointed.

Potterheads are all wonderful, but YOU are the best. Yes, you, reading this. X

3 When she addressed all the Potterhead tears shed.

It’s the 16th anniversary of the Battle of Hogwarts. I’m having a moment’s silence over my keyboard. I hated killing some of those people.
