J.K. Rowling responding to Harry Potter fans coping with depression is just magical
By Callum Gunn
Author J.K. Rowling reached out to comfort a fan who uses Harry Potter to cope with depression.
Depression sucks. Let’s just get that out there. It sucks. It sucks that little bit less when the creator of the Wizarding World J.K. Rowling reaches out to talk to you.
That’s exactly what happened when a Twitter user expressed how she was going through a bout of depression and was reading the Harry Potter novels to help her through it. Rowling responded to her directly telling her to keep her Patronus Strong.

You might think the creator of the Wizarding World wouldn’t have time to do such things. With seven books and eight movies in the Harry Potter series, the Fantastic Beats series and the Cursed Child stage production. J.K. Rowling certainly has her hands full. We won’t even go into the theme parks, charity events, the Cormoran Strike series and other organization she is involved in.
It’s great to see that, despite all of Rowling’s success, fame and busy lifestyle, she takes the time to reach out to others; especially those who need it the most and, if anything else, just want to be heard sometimes.
Those stories saved their author, too. Nothing makes me happier than to think that they went out into the world to do the same for other people. Keep that Patronus powerful ✨ https://t.co/d9ByD4WtCo

This isn’t the only time Rowling has reached out like this. Rowling is an active user on Twitter, where she regularly tweets about more than just Harry Potter.
I grew up with your stories and they’ve always helped me through tough times, but besides the stories of your own making, I can’t help but to wonder which ones you turned to when going through a tough time yourself.
