It always makes me laugh when they censor her name. Isn’t there a very famous book series about fear of the name increasing the fear of the thing itself?
Yes, I like to read hp fan fiction and some writers leave a note that says they don’t support JKR’s and her terf ways…the mental gymnastics is sometimes painful with these ones, not to mention those heartfelt tumblr post, that HP belongs to the fans and not to R*wling…her bank account would probably think differentlyIt always makes me laugh when they censor her name.

I've heard of people getting rid of their HP collections because they 'understand how problematic' JK is and they don't agree with her views. The only things they have now is a single copy of every book (including the books set in the world) and HP merch given to them as presents as they personally didn't spend money on said merchYes, I like to read hp fan fiction and some writers leave a note that says they don’t support JKR’s and her terf ways…the mental gymnastics is sometimes painful with these ones, not to mention those heartfelt tumblr post, that HP belongs to the fans and not to R*wling…her bank account would probably think differently
Strike Series 1 adaptation for The Cuckoo's Calling was good, I liked the characters, looking forward to seeing the next one after reading the book. Understandably the tv adaptation chopped and condensed some of the book to fit into 3 episodes but my husband also enjoyed it despite not reading the book.
I don't usually read crime detective books but I can see the Strike series getting me into the genre more.

I think the reality is that they are actually old enough to know better"Too old to know better?" Depressing
Again, it's not even so much that they spoke up, it's how they did it. They threw JK Rowling under a bus, Watson in particular
Dating Philip Green’s son, looking like a twit at the Earthshot Prize and she wouldn’t be doing either (with a fat bank balance) if it wasn’t for JK.So faux feminist Emma 'up her arse' Watson is now dating billionaire Sir Philip Green's son yes thats right the bastard who cost this country billions, stole pensions and didn't pay tax. A thief and a crook.
That dress is hideous. To be fair Emma has a good figure but that outfit does her no favours at all.Dating Philip Green’s son, looking like a twit at the Earthshot Prize and she wouldn’t be doing either (with a fat bank balance) if it wasn’t for JK.
I'm on the last one and simultaneously don't want it to end and can't wait to find out what happens!I love JKR and the Strike series is amazing, hope she writes 10 more!
Emma Watson is apparently vile by all accounts, she has had sooooo many boyfriends she obviously has a personality that’s hard to deal with long term.
Are you suggesting authors can write from perspectives other than those of their own 'lived experience'? I am shocked.I loved reading all the Strike books. I was just looking into when the next one was released and was just thinking how ironic it is that the trans movement want to cancel JK Rowling!
She wrote her first Harry Potter novels under a non gendered name, JK Rowling could be either masculine or feminine, and she recreated herself as a writer using a male name of Robert Galbraith!
So she is openly publicising the idea of people not needing to worry about being male or female to succeed!
Of course it could also be to do with the fact that male authors traditionally do better than female....but......
I’ve done this a few times! They stand up to multiple listens, I always notice something different each time. JK is a genius.I’m thinking of listening to the Strike audiobooks again from the start - I wish there was a new Strike book to read!
I just saw this and thought this was a joke, or photoshopped, so I searched for the video myself. (Spoiler: It isn’t a joke and it’s not photoshopped)
