“That’s just incredibly exciting and it will be nice to pick roles that I want to do.” Read more…

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.

Unsurprisingly, her response was less than enthusiastic.
