3/The patriarchy have always hated her (see how many of the comments on this thread are men). I'm only 25% English and don't give a toss that parts of my culture are used as an influence on the stories ...

4/As for her 'million pound advances'. Her first book she basically got nothing. An advance is a forward payment on royalties. She came out about £750million in profit and owed nothing ...

5/It's like the Cho Chang thing. Chang is a hugely popular surname and god forbid anyone who dares come up with a fictitious name that that fits with that. I mean it's not as if she ever did that with loads of the English people in the series, Jesus.

This ridiculous defensive rant is actually helping radicalize me against the whole idea of liberation-through-representation Like the simple fact that JK Rowling is a woman, and JK Rowling is successful, means JK Rowling's success is all women's success

If you ever get the number of death threats and weirdos she's had to put with down the years, you'd have extra security too. That's a world you'll never have to live in. An a manor house is LONG way from being a castle. I mean look at it - it's nice but...pic.twitter.com/MdmoAAhTjA

Jfc dude it's not only a manor house it's a *historic* manor house where Bonnie Prince Charlie once lived Come on, if your house *has a name* (that it had for hundreds of years before you lived there) what does it matter if it's a "manor" or "castle"
