A belated Happy Birthday to you, JK. And thanks for your courage and generosity in standing up for women when all the little cowards cowered. You are Harry and Hermione — the actors who played them were only acting!

I also stuck an "I love J K" sticker when I went shopping today, it gave me an empowered feeling

Happy birthday, Joanne!

Thank you for all you have done and continue to do to protect women and children. Thank you for alerting me and so many others to the reality of what has been happening. I would never have realised how serious things were if you hadn't spoken out.

Thank you.

Happy Birthday!!!

I'm looking forward to the new Strike novel - been reading them since before I knew RG was JKR Grin.

I've also been proudly wearing my Hogwarts tee shirt that I bought in support of JKR.

I'm way past giving a shiny shit what TRA's think!

The80sweregreat · 31/07/2020 22:12

The new Strike novel sounds like another corker! Can't wait till the 15th September for it be become available to read!

AMCoffeePMWine · 31/07/2020 20:54

Many happy returns, and thank you for your stance.

Happy birthday to this amazing woman.

Made a (small, quite skint these days) donation to Lumos for the occasion. And plan on getting an I

Happy birthday JKR ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️

thehumanformerlyknownasfemale · 31/07/2020 19:05

I called her Joanne. Got an email back from her team thanking me and that they would pass on the birthday wishes and advise her of the Lumos donation. They always write back whenever I've emailed. They said she wouldn't be able to reply personally but I've never expected that anyway.

Thank you dial.

Happy birthday JKR. A legend of a woman. I sent a donation to lumos today too. Feeling very emotional about all of this ❤

Happy Birthday Joanne.

And great to see your birthday wishes trending on twitter.

Grumblyberries · 31/07/2020 18:53

And yes, thanks to whoever mentioned the Anne Rowling Centre, also a good place to donate, which I've done now

Grumblyberries · 31/07/2020 18:48

ah of course, I haven't looked into that one yet!

SirSamuelVimesBlackboardMonito · 31/07/2020 18:44

@Grumblyberries

showing my lack of culture/Harry potter here, but what is that cake depicting?
I believe it's the Ickabog - her new book that she released for free a chapter at a time online during lockdown.

The Anne Rowling Centre is doing amazing work - thank you to the previous poster who mentioned it. Have made a donation. X
