@Vegemiteandhoneyontoast what do you think? 😜

The TV series are still available on BBC i-player, if you're in the UK

I've not read the books (or anything by JKR), but I did chug through these a while back.

I'm guessing you sighed heavily, muttered profanities under your breath and went in search of sane people.

If I were the 🦊 murderer I'd be talking to a lawyer rn. And not one of the mythical "wisest KCs" who tell him exactly what he needs to hear for his engagement farming on social media.
Unlike JoMo, I don't think JKR tweets out made up shit so I'm guessing that this is already generating billable hours for someone. Lol

Oh that pleased me no end @DrudgeJedd 🥰

Delicious. Absolutely delicious. You love to see it!

In my head I see serried ranks of well fed, well paid Rowling employees licking their pencils and jotting stuff down in notebooks. Occasionally chewing the ends and thumbing through vast tomes of legal precedent.

(All in the 1940s, of course. And a very pleasant tea lady, in an apron, ambling up and down the rows asking if they want one lump or two, and this week it's cherry cake.)

Does JKR bother sueing the idiots defaming her? So far she seems to have laughed at them, sat back and let them get on with digging themselves into holes showcasing their own idiocy and repellent ideology.

Sounds like a benevolent Ministry of Magic, Datun.

The thing is that Mr Nobody ranting on Twitter/X/BlueSky that "JKR is a transphobic bitch" isn't really worth bothering about. It doesn't really damage her reputation.

A KC such as the fox batterer, though... he'd better be watching his step.

I wonder if her imagination extends to the office?

Wouldn't that be brilliant!

I don't remember her taking many, if any cases to court since the big privacy case in 2008 involving paparazzi photos of her son. Which has been pretty influential in case law around privacy.

But there have been quite a few cases of online personalities defaming her, and then issuing a grovelling apology a few days later, sometimes accompanied by a donation to charity. I think we can assume there was a legal letter involved.

So she's got very good lawyers, and a good strategic sense of when it's time to bring the hammer down.

Actually what happened to Imane Khelif suing JK?

Sounds like Miss Climpson and 'The Cattery' from the Peter Wimsey series.

Just looked it up. Nothing has been heard about his supposed lawsuit since the middle of last year.

And sometimes, when I am at work, dolefully looking at my dire packed lunch (which seemed like a good idea at the time) or rifling through my bag in a desperate search for anything sweet but finding only an elderly and squished Murray Mint, I think longingly of a strong hot coffee in a china cup and a slice of really good cherry cake off the (non existent) tea trolley.

(I might need to go and have a rummage for my copy of 'Cherry Cake and Ginger Beer' this afternoon)

Thanks for this tweet, I never go on twitter any more but should check just for her!
I thought it was pointed that she referenced family as well as society when quote tweeting him

I’m not on X either, but you can access tweets on nitter.net

I read at the time that it’s a common occurrence in French law that you can start legal action against absolutely anyone, and then they just sit there and nothing happens. It’s not in his interest to pursue it because it would become clear that he is in fact, a man.

Yeah I think it's called the Bobera Streisand effect.

Bobera 😆

JKR's not standing for any nonsense, that's for sure. That last paragraph is absolutely savage.

I've been off in an afternoon reverie about food in fiction. It would make a wonderful book in itself.

The feasts in the Great Hall in Harry Potter and other children's books with their midnight feasts and picnics.

The wonderful sounding food cooked by the incomparable Anatole in PG Wodhouse and the sideboards at country houses simply groaning with breakfast dishes.

The cocktails in Christie and Sayers and the various dinners at Clubs.

I'm sure there's more but I'm just dreaming of breakfast kedgeree in an enormous serving platter, after my morning tea in bed.

(I'll point out at this point that my ancestors were either down the pit, in service or at a loom so the likelihood of me ever having had a chance at this historically are slim to none!)

I have contacted him. Again. I do wonder if someone in his office was filtering out the GC emails so
It is great Sex Matters template asks for a response.

Edited to say I thought JKs tweets would show but they haven’t. The last sentence of her tweet, made me howl with laughter.
