J.K. Rowling Has Announced That Edward Cullen From ‘Twilight’ is Gay

My favorite line in Harry Potter. 

Happy birthday, Neville Longbottom!

P.S. Get ready for 24 hours of Harry Potter posts to celebrate Harry Potter and J.K. Rowling’s birthday tomorrow :)

jk rowling: releases new hp stuff

me: *with my hp books*

Say what you will about how Harry Potter increases in complexity and darkness as it progresses but I think JKR sets the tone of the series pretty well when she has Dumbledore play ding-dong-ditch with a baby in the first chapter

J.K. Rowling goes up to the counter and orders seven pumpkin spice lattes. The barista gives her eight.

J.K. Rowling uploads two of her rejection letters to inspire everyone.

We’re not alone. Let’s keep on doing what we’re good at, despite rejections.

Saw Stephen Fry live last week, and he told us this story: Just after the first Harry Potter book had been released, he was offered the role of narrating it for audiobooks. He hadn’t read it, and was simply told it was a children’s book, so figured it would be an easy afternoons work. When he met JK Rowling, she mentioned that she was writing a sequel. Stephen replied very condescendingly “good for you”.

A few years down the line, the books are selling well, and he is doing the recording for the Prisoner of Azkaban, when he runs into the phrase “Harry pocketed it”. Stephen could not say this line. It always came out as “Harry pocketeded it”, unless he said it ridiculously slowly. They tried time and time again to get it right, but to no avail. Eventually, he called up JK and asked if he could say “Harry put it in his pocket” instead. She thought for a moment, then said “no”, and hung up.

The phrase “Harry pocketed it” appeared in the next four books.

Tbh I’d be 100% okay if J.K. Rowling pulled a Stephanie Meyer and did a genderbent Harry Potter, though.

i can’t believe jkr doesn’t know remus lupin is queer do you think someone should tell her

once in an interview someone asked her if charlie weasley was gay and she gave them this look and said DUMBLEDORE’s gay like there’s only room for a single queer in the wizarding world
