I do need her to get her arse in gear and get the next strike and Robin book out though. Frankly she’s kept me waiting far too long to find out what happens next

Truly incredible ♥️

Ukholidaysaregreat · 17/05/2025 19:34

OMG! I love JKR! What a woman. Xxx

ArabellaScott · 17/05/2025 19:24

JK you are a gem. May you live a long and happy life.

MelOfTheRoses · 17/05/2025 19:23

Thank you for sharing. That was a great article.

When you step back and see what she does and has done overall, it is amazing. It is what so many of us dream of. She is very wise.

wrongthinker · 17/05/2025 19:08

Omg she is incredible. That interview was so moving. What an incredible woman she is.

MyPresumablyScrotum · 17/05/2025 19:00

Her impact on this world - both from her writing and her philanthropy - is unbelievable. Truly amazing, she's made a difference to so many people's lives.

Love respect

borntobequiet · 17/05/2025 18:52

I’m reminded of Emily Bridges (in performative pigtails) whining on about her being so mean and not helping anyone.

eatfigs · 17/05/2025 18:49

She's amazing. I thought I couldn't admire her more. Thank you for sharing this.

TheNightingalesStarling · 17/05/2025 18:46

She is truly an amazing woman.

DialSquare · 17/05/2025 18:36

She’s such an inspiration. Amazing woman who puts her money where her mouth is.

ChimpanzeeThatMonkeyNews · 17/05/2025 18:34

I couldn’t love her more.

PriOn1 · 17/05/2025 18:33

What an amazing interview: what an incredible life she’s led. Thank you Jo, if you’re reading.

LoopyGremlin · 17/05/2025 18:15

What a woman.

Supporterofwomensrights · 17/05/2025 18:08

I love her.

BernardBlacksMolluscs · 17/05/2025 17:55

wonderful. thank you for sharing that OP

Saucery · 17/05/2025 17:51

Safeguarding runs through her like letters in a stock of rock too, I notice. Not this child needed love so much they immediately sat on a stranger’s knee but the implications of that.

mrshoho · 17/05/2025 17:50

She is simply brilliant. What a beautiful soul.

MassiveWordSalad · 17/05/2025 17:46

Thanks @Igneococcus

What a generous, compassionate woman she is. £200 million given away because she wants to help people, especially women and children.

OfDragonsDeep · 17/05/2025 17:39

I never imagined the woman who wrote the books that kept me awake as a child would turn out to be my biggest hero in adult life.

CaptainSevenofNine · 17/05/2025 17:38

I hate the things she has been through, you wouldn’t wish them on anyone, and yet, she is who she is today because of it all.

amazing woman.

Saucery · 17/05/2025 17:38

Thank you so much for the share token. I’m not a reader of her fiction, but a huge admirer and supporter of her philanthropic work. The millions she has quietly donated! ❤️

334bu · 17/05/2025 17:33

A truly inspirational woman

MounjaroMounjaro · 17/05/2025 17:32

Absolutely incredible woman. We're so lucky to have her representing us.
