J.K Rowling has been killing it on Twitter recently and now her fans are tweeting at her about when she eventually dies. Jo though is having none of it.
The most recent in J.K Rowling and her Twitter news is actually quite funny. The Harry Potter author has been getting in a lot of debates with fans and those criticizing her for her commentary on the American election.
But now it seems that she is getting different tweets sent to her. Like this one from a fan who tagged her in a post that said something about J.K Rowling dying. The meme states “One day, in the middle of my life, the news headlines will be, ‘J.K Rowling Died Today.’ My children won’t fully understand why I left the room crying, or why I picked up a book titled, “Harry Potter”. Millions will pull out old toy wands, cloaks, and round rimmed glasses will be dusted off. Wands lit they will take to the streets, holding them high. From speakers and phones, “Hedwig’s Theme”. Hogwarts will come back to life as a new generation is introduced to “The Boy Who Lived”.”
This is very sweet, but I won't be offended if you untag me when making plans for my death. pic.twitter.com/LfLSTuTxQO

While this is insane to send to a person who is still living, the best part about it is that we won’t share Harry Potter with our children before Rowling dies. Or that the series will be completely over and we’ll seem to have forgotten it existed until this point.

So don’t tag Rowling in your death posts. And don’t wait to share the series with your kids until she’s dead. A world where people have forgotten Harry Potter has existed is not a world I want to see. So keep the magic alive while Rowling is still alive. It’s the least we can do.
