This thread about a special Christmas gift got the J.K. Rowling seal of approval

TwitterFacebook

If festive, heart-warming stories about game-changing Christmas presents are your bag, Hayley Webster has you covered.

On Sunday, the British children’s author took to Twitter to share a story about the nicest Christmas present she’s ever been given.

Brace yourselves: it’s a bit of a tear-jerker.

I’m going to write a thread about the nicest Christmas gift I ever received. I was nine years old. I think it cost the person who gave it to me about £1.50.

‘Harry Potter’ fan says J.K. Rowling blocked her after she criticised Johnny Depp

TwitterFacebook

A Harry Potter fan has gone viral on Twitter after she was apparently blocked by J.K. Rowling for tweeting a question about Johnny Depp.

The whole thing started on Tuesday, when 24-year-old lab technician Lindsey B tagged Rowling in the following tweet:

So if I understand correctly the actor who played Crabbe, a minor character, was fired from Harry Potter for doing drugs. Yet Johnny Depp, who abused his wife, gets a major role in your movies? Correct me if I’m wrong @jk_rowling

J.K. Rowling shuts down article calling Meghan Markle ‘unsuitable’ with 1 hashtag

TwitterFacebook

If you’ve been anywhere the internet/television/radio today, or spoken to pretty much anyone at all, chances are you’ll have caught the news about Prince Harry and Meghan Markle’s engagement.

It’s been pretty much everywhere, right?

Some people are excited, some people are indifferent — and a few people, like Melanie McDonagh writing for The Spectator, seemed less pleased.

Meghan Markle is unsuitable as Prince Harry’s wife for the same reason that Wallis Simpson was unsuitable: she’s divorced and Harry’s grandmother is supreme governor of the CofE

This Twitter thread about missing loved ones at Christmas has a heartwarming twist ending

TwitterFacebook

Twitter may be packed full of petty arguments, angry trolls, and more vitriol than you can shake a tiny blue bird at, but it’s not all bad.

Sometimes it can actually be quite a nice place.

On Saturday, Rachael Prior wrote two tweets describing how Christmas reminds her of her dad.

Nowhere and no time do I miss my dad more acutely than in the men’s department of M&S at Christmas.

If I see another reasonable priced, deep red angora mix sweater with a ribbon round it I’m going to actually have a breakdown.

J.K. Rowling just tweeted the sweetest reply to a struggling writer

TwitterFacebook

J.K. Rowling may have a reputation as something of a Twitter badass, but she has a softer side too.

On Sunday, a 23-year-old aspiring writer and Harry Potter fan took to Twitter to share a feeling all aspiring writers will know well: frustration.

I want to write like @jk_rowling or @StephenKing but it’s too hard for me. I’m demotivated. I’ll never finish my bookpic.twitter.com/5drO1Ki2Kd

Despite the fact that Rowling’s feed must be absolutely inundated with tweets, though — not to mention the fact she’s almost certainly busy writing herself — she still found the time to respond. Read more…

J.K. Rowling just tore apart Donald Trump Jr.’s tweet about socialism

TwitterFacebook

If your name’s Donald Trump Jr. and you start tweeting about socialism, it’s not going to go unnoticed.

On Halloween night, the president’s eldest son decided to use his daughter to make a political point.

Here’s the original, now widely-mocked tweet:

I’m going to take half of Chloe’s candy tonight & give it to some kid who sat at home. It’s never to early to teach her about socialismpic.twitter.com/3ie9C0jv2G

— Donald Trump Jr. (@DonaldJTrumpJr) October 31, 2017

A lot of people, like historian and author Kevin M. Kruse, pointed out the big flaw in Trump Jr.’s logic. Read more…

J.K. Rowling receives Donald Trump newsletter and her response was as scathing as you’d expect

TwitterFacebook

Some people might be happy with the offer of a limited edition Donald Trump coin, but J.K. Rowling is not one of those people.

On Monday afternoon, not long after she’d blasted Trump on Twitter for his use of shouty capital letters, the Harry Potter author received a strange offer.

Apparently, to “CELEBRATE TRUMP’S VICTORY OVER THE NAY-SAYERS”, Rowling was being offered a coin with Donald Trump’s face on it.

Unsurprisingly, her response was less than enthusiastic.
