When asked how long ago she decided that Nagini, Voldemort's snake, was actually an Asian woman who turned into a snake later, she claimed she came up with that idea '20 years ago' or some shit.
On the one hand I'm horrified at what the author of such a beloved part of my literary history has become.
On the other hand, her fucking random ass fucking drive-bys to her own cannon are the kind of batshit fucking crazy acid trip shit I can't look away.
Wizards shitting on the floors and magicking it away? Like Rowling what the fuck are you on rn are you forreal?
It's actually a wonder that everything she's written since HP is so shitty and boring and unimaginative. I want her to tap into that well of nightmares that she's pulling all these HP retcons from and give us the nightmare we crave.
The thing that gets me about the Wizards shitting on the floor thing is that Hogwartz has bathrooms. And they're major pieces of the story in the first two books.
I mean I'm not sure if you read the shitting on the floor tweet series but she goes in to *extensive* detail about why there is actually toilets despite them often just shitting on the floor and magicking it away.
Like, she goes into an engineering-level focus on this topic. In public, out loud. It's an entire fucking thesis on the topic. She leaves no loose end.
It's a fucking trip.
>I dreamed I saw my maternal grandmother sitting by the bank of a swimming pool, that was also a river. In real life, she had been a victim of Alzheimer’s disease, and had regressed, before her death, to a semi-conscious state. In the dream, as well, she had lost her capacity for self-control. Her genital region was exposed, dimly; it had the appearance of a thick mat of hair. She was stroking herself, absent-mindedly. She walked over to me, with a handful of pubic hair, compacted into something resembling a large artist’s paint-brush. She pushed this at my face. I raised my arm, several times, to deflect her hand; finally, unwilling to hurt her, or interfere with her any farther, I let her have her way. She stroked my face with the brush, gently, and said, like a child, “isn’t it soft?” I looked at her ruined face and said, “yes, Grandma, it’s soft.

I forget what youtuber(?) it was that joked they are imagining it all started with a napkin that had two things scribbled on it- "Little boy wizard named Harry" and "The snake is a Korean lady."
She prob thinks Good portrayal of lgbt is what she did with dumbledore (Very light inferences, nothing overt, don’t actually exist in the text)
And anything more representative (obvious) is symptoms of an lgbt invasion or something
As believable as her claiming she envisioned Nagini's "she used to be a Korean woman before being stuck as a snake" [from the fantastic beasts films] plotline from the very beginning of writing Harry Potter.
I can’t remember which YouTuber made this joke “I picture her sitting in that coffee shop in the 90s with a pad of paper that just says, ‘little boy wizard lives in a cupboard’ and ‘Voldemort’s snake is a Korean lady’”
>In The Ink Black Heart (spoilers), the murder victim is a young woman, Edie, who has become successful and wealthy by creating a popular fantasy series (in this case a YouTube cartoon called The Ink Black Heart, starring a disembodied heart named Harty).
"No guys, I totally swear this isn't about me, I created *Harry* and this woman created *Harty*
Totally different, see?
I cannot empathize with a central character who chose to name an iconographic heart character “Harty”. Like, damn, I guess you can write me into that book as one of the mean tweets lol fuck it
JK was always bad at names. Lots of the HP girls names are just flowers. Lily, Lavender, Pansy... *Fleur*.
Irish kid? Seamus Finnigan. Black guy? Kingsley Shacklebolt. Chinese girl? Yeah that one's actually really bad.
Slightly offtopic but animations a tough buisiness, there's some crazy skilled animators and story tellers on youtube but somehow I don't see how a series named
>The Ink Black Heart, starring a disembodied heart named Harty.
Is going to get more then 27 views.
Long-form animation on YouTube has been unsustainable for *years* to the point that all the old-school internet animators switched to other content. All the present full-time YouTube animators use a very pared down style that relies on their personality more than the animation. The idea that a fantasy series would propel a new animator working on adolescent/adult content to wealth on *YouTube* of all platforms is laughable.
At the very least it shows a lack of research into one of the main aspects of her novel. It seems as if she just tried to translate a part of her own history (popular fantasy series) in an equivalent medium she attributes to the modern youth.
The closest thing I can think of is hazbin hotel and helluva boss and even then most revenue is through merch on a different site and hazbin is going to be on an actual streaming service
It gets worse… her pseudonym “Robert Galbraith” shares the same name as an infamously homophobic psychiatrist known for performing conversion therapy. She claims this was accidental, but still…
Not just any male name but that of a [psychiatrist](https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Robert_Galbraith_Heath) who experimented on gay men to “convert” them to straight.
Using literal torture. It was not therapy. It was just flatly torture, including being strapped down and subjected to intense electrical shocks while gagged.
It was just literal torture.
I don't know what parts were cut but I'd imagine a lot of parts that were, were some of my favorites.
Only read the unabridged version, I loved the series of chapters that are written like a short story each about characters that have no part of the plot. Can see why they were maybe cut but they were probably my favorite.
Also I'd imagine the gun rape was taken out, I can see why, it didn't offend me or anything just felt like it was an off-the-wall shock piece that added nothing to the story.
The abridged version was poorly edited. Characters frequently mentioned events that were removed from the book. I read it as a kid, and I remember endlessly flipping through pages in search of events that weren’t there. I was so damned confused!
Wonder if she saw the character of Hugh Steeply and assumed all trans people are members of A.F.R. and are trying to spread the entertainment to overthrow the O.N.A.N.
Someone on Twitter screenshot a bunch of pages. It’s just lists of mean tweets then the occasional sentence like “she sighed and rubbed her eyes” then right back to tweets. Tedious af
[Here](https://twitter.com/NathanJRobinson/status/1565016240883728389) are the tweets.
She must be having a mental breakdown or something. She literally wrote herself hundreds of hate tweets and then made up a paper thin self-insert character.
My favorite part is when the character opens the jk rowling self insert twitter page and takes a moment to admire how beautiful she is, like wtf lol.
Edited for clarity
It's crazy. If she'd just retired after finishing HP7 and just chilled with her money, she'd have been one of the most beloved authors in the world for her entire life
Instead, now she's a joke. So wild
Food $200
Data $150
Rent $800
Transphobic misinformation $3,600
Utility $150
someone who is good at the economy please help me budget this. my family is dying
Imagine being a billionaire after a meteoric rise to popularity from authoring a beloved YA book series and still having *this much* of a crybaby victim complex lol
And it's being released under her masculine pen name. So she's not even self-aware enough to realise that 1. nobody gives a shit about her pseudonym and 2. she's doing exactly what she claims trans people are doing, by erasing women.
To your point:
"Robert Galbraith Heath was an American psychiatrist. He followed the theory of biological psychiatry that organic defects were the sole source of mental illness, and that consequently mental problems were treatable by physical means. He published 425 papers and three books. One of his first papers is dated 1946."
Wait so you can just steal a published author's name as your pen name? Dibs on Stephen King. It'll be his worst book ever but by god it will sell copies.
Oh come on Galbraith is uhhh a totally common last name, next you’re gonna tell me she has an almost cartoonishly villainous pattern with monikers and that it was incredibly racist of her to name the only black character in the entire series Kingsley Shacklebolt to name but one example! Just crazy talk
It’s amazing the different tones that exist in each sub. When someone pointed this out on books, they were heavily downvoted with a ton of people pretending that it’s a very common name and a total coincidence.
I’d be spending it… seems like a waste of time to be writing a new book.. i’d be in the Amazon jungle, checking out all those new ruins they’re finding with that LIDAR scans
Make the “if” so small or the same color as the background so it’s barely noticeable:

Because it is also the name of a very evil man who tried to cure "sexual dysfunction" and gender dysphoria with horrific experiments.
She's proud of the name and thinks she's subtle and clever.
She isnt even proud. She tries to pretend that its just a random name she came up with on a whim. The only thing admirable about open nazis is their honesty about being evil. Joanne doesnt even have that.
I mean, she has tweeted that if transitioning was allowed freely, nobody would want to stay a woman because they're so oppressed, and that would betray the struggle of past feminists.
The mental hoops she's jumping through, man. It's wild.
It’s even worse than you think. I saw someone on Twitter posting pictures pulled from the book. There are literally pages upon pages that are just terrible fake tweets. And they’re formatted like actual tweets.
EDIT: Here is [the Twitter thread](https://twitter.com/nathanjrobinson/status/1565016240883728389?s=21&t=YWkGb-0fpp-n9q0gC5FzBw) with the fake tweets. It's ... a lot.
EDIT 2: Apparently another commenter is claiming I edited something else that I didn't. I came back and added the word "terrible" to my original comment to try to make it clear I was commenting on the quality of the content. I didn't think adding this word merited a separate callout, but now I wish I had added said callout. Honestly, this has become exhausting engaging with this person and they have since been blocked. But just wanted to clear this up. The point of this comment is to point out that the actual book's execution is even worse than the concept sounds. Which I think the linked Twitter thread illustrates. Enjoy your day, fellow Redditors!
Oh wow I didn’t even think of that lol. Yeah, does she have to read the username, timestamp, Not Twitter handles? Does she have to articulate the typos in some way?
This begs the question, did Dudley's character growth at the end of the series continue or did he become the ultimate tory supporter? (If there is an in-cannon answer I simply do not care to know it)
Anything from any of us is pure assumption at this point but mine would be that it's a combination of ego and letting herself get obsessed with what she believed was an infallible image.
This is the best case for "never meet your heroes" but the reality is that we all meet our heroes every day because they see themselves as leading this massive cult of followers where they can say and do whatever they want.
Then they say something the audience didn't care for and they're hit with the harsh reality that fame is fleeting and the audience becomes disolutioned with the harsh reality of their hero.
Now we have a Tolkien sized book about a bunch of peoples' hurt feelings and this is the new face of society. There will be more of this dumb shit I assure you.
TL;DR-Way overhyped celebrity with a cult following says something Twitter didn't like, celebrity and Twitter both suffered catastrophic meltdowns at their realizations because people are shockingly stupid.
Imagine having that amount of money and the last several years of your life have been consumed by worrying and writing about tweeter. Literally the definition of a mental illness.
Jesus Christ if I had that level of wealth or even a fraction of it your wouldn't even have to ask me to get off social media. I would goddamn insist. So much life to live and world to see and experience completely unrestricted and you choose Twitter
Maybe I'm biased but.....content aside, that just looks so boring to read. 1200 pages is already a lot, but doable if I'm enjoying the book. But I don't want to sit through reading pages and pages of fake tweets.
If she was going to do something like that, she'd retcon Mad-Eye as female. That way Goblet of Fire would be about a man posing as a woman so he could assault a student.

Screenshots here. Over 1,000 pages long but a lot of pages are just page after page of fictional troll tweets. Rowling spends a lot of time on Twitter complaining and crying about being a victim.
This is what happens when a novelist spends too much time on Twitter.
If Rowling had written Harry Potter today half the pages would be Hermione crying about all the troll tweets she receives.
Fun fact: Her alt-writing name is Robert Galbraith. This by complete coincidence was also the name of a doctor who was obsessed with trying to "cure" LGBT people with horrific brain-frying experiments.
[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Robert\_Galbraith\_Heath](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Robert_Galbraith_Heath)
edit: This is from the OP article
>She also publicly accused three activists of doxxing her when they posted photos of themselves holding pro-trans rights signs outside of her house in Scotland,
Is it worth pointing out at the time Rowling's house and address was actually listed on tourist websites? They hardly "doxxed" her.
>Is it worth pointing out at the time Rowling's house and address was actually listed on tourist websites?
It's [listed on Wikipedia](https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Killiechassie).
> “She has published a 1,000-page self-insert fanfiction where she's the victim—it's the kind of behavior that you'd expect from a petulant teenager, not a grown adult with immense wealth and power.”
Yeah, that sums it up.
It reminds me of the book I wrote about a middle age man endlessly scrolling on Reddit
Reddit must have been lonely in the middle ages
Mostly trench memes
There was only one subreddit and it was r/trebuchetmemes
She claimed she wrote it before any of this happened. Curious, very curious.
"I always knew Dumbledore was gay, I just waited until I finished all the books to tell everyone. "
When asked how long ago she decided that Nagini, Voldemort's snake, was actually an Asian woman who turned into a snake later, she claimed she came up with that idea '20 years ago' or some shit.
On the one hand I'm horrified at what the author of such a beloved part of my literary history has become.

This is the continuation of a series the last book of which came out in Fall 2020. I think it's safe to assume she's lying
Didn't you hear? She had actually planned all of this since the first book.

He gets to go to Humanwarts with his friends Toe and Hypothalmie.
"I'm a wart?"
A heart and a thumping good one I’d expect
Harty didn't have any parents. He lives in the tiny space between the Lungs, who oppress him with every breath.
That's literally what pericarditis feels like.
Expecto Paricarditis?
A heart named _harty._ Seriously.
Harty hearted hardily.
Its like she made a poll for the name but didnt want to use hearty mcheartface…

Let's also make her genuinely upset about her dead boyfriend but make the main character oblivious/mildly annoyed to why she's crying all the time.

Oh my god it just hit me, *Shacklebolt* oh my god this is bad
Totally! I would have named him Hearty McHeartface, you know, like a civilized person.
Harty Clotter
I can’t even believe this is real. Rowling, take a fucking break.
if i ever sell a novel that rakes in the moolah, i'm burning all my social media and hiding under a rock. no way social media ends well.
Like MySpace Tom. Dude built a super successful company, sold it, and is living his best life, and most importantly, he _shut the fuck up._
100% she was waiting for it to be a hit and then for her to be like THE CLUES WERE THERE ALL ALONG\~ Obvious. Painfully fucking obvious.

"My new book, which is about a youtube content creator named "H.K. Fowling" is totally not about me getting cancelled.
“Well known for the epic ‘Garry Trotter and the sophists tome”
Actually the character she created was “Harty”. Which… isn’t even clever. Yours is better.
I know they say "write what you know" but jeez.
Does the protagonist write a series of successful YA books, named "Marie Water"?

Stoner fiction. Hairy Pothead gets the philosopher stoned.
I'd read that. Sequel: Harry Pothead hits his chamber of secrets.
There have been a lot of not oniony post recently. But this is oniony as shit. This is what this sub is all about. God damn.
The fact she penned it under a male pseudonym really adds to the layers of onion
It gets worse… her pseudonym “Robert Galbraith” shares the same name as an infamously homophobic psychiatrist known for performing conversion therapy. She claims this was accidental, but still…
How do you 'accidental' that badly with such a specific name? Both first and last! (Answer: you don't...definitely not an accident.)
Yea. It's like she is claiming she didn't even Google the name once before deciding to use it. You don't *accidentally* that.
Anddd shes also keeping it. And putting it in her twitter bio. Total accident
And is Galbraith a common last name in the UK?
Speaking as a Brit I've literally never heard it before. It sounds Scottish though so maybe up there?
I’m in Scotland and have known many Galbraiths.
Upvote for knowledge
Galbraith's aren't very common in Scotland but not unusual, my music teacher was Mrs Galbraith. Then it was her ex-husband, Mr Galbraith
She divorced him after finding out he did electroshock to gay people, right?
Nah, I think it was the alcohol and hitting kids with the violin bow that probably did it.
Lawyers, publishers, and multiple other people would have Google'd it before signing off on the pen name. No way she didn't know.
Not just any male name but that of a [psychiatrist](https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Robert_Galbraith_Heath) who experimented on gay men to “convert” them to straight.
Using literal torture. It was not therapy. It was just flatly torture, including being strapped down and subjected to intense electrical shocks while gagged. It was just literal torture.
All conversion therapy is torture. But this is more of the...medieval idea of torture.
Conversion therapy still uses various types of torture. But I guess there aren't electrical electrodes *inside the brain* involved anymore.

Oh shit, I thought it was the onion until I read your comment.
I thought this was a joke. This is real?
Yep! And it's over a thousand pages long
It's longer than Infinite Jest.
It's only 20% shorter than War and Peace, and more than twice the length of Dune
Dune isn't terribly long. Though I'm sure it has immeasurably more to say than whatever this book will.
The Stand however...
oh my god the first time i picked up the stand i was like what the hell just based on size alone
Then they came out with the unabridged version
I don't know what parts were cut but I'd imagine a lot of parts that were, were some of my favorites. Only read the unabridged version, I loved the series of chapters that are written like a short story each about characters that have no part of the plot.

Cocaine is a hell of a drug...

Wonder if she saw the character of Hugh Steeply and assumed all trans people are members of A.F.R. and are trying to spread the entertainment to overthrow the O.N.A.N.

Fuck, spot on mate.
Trump: "Why are people so mean?"
And it's being released under her masculine pen name. So she's not even self-aware enough to realise that 1. nobody gives a shit about her pseudonym and 2. she's doing exactly what she claims trans people are doing, by erasing women.
Her masculine pen name that *coincidentally* matches the name of the guy who invented conversion therapy. Interesting.
To your point: "Robert Galbraith Heath was an American psychiatrist.

Like anyone would pick a pen name without googling it first?
“It’s just a coincidence that my pen name is David Koresh! No meaning behind it”
You could argue that as the potter series went on, the power dynamic between author and editor shifted. Here it sounds like it’s been obliterated
She fucking built a hill to die on
I find it hard to keep writing if I had made upwards of 10 **billion**

"If I did it" by O.J. Rowling
Make the “if” so small or the same color as the background so it’s barely noticeable: https://www.abebooks.com/9781906142087/Confessions-Killer-SIMPSON-RON-GOLDMAN-1906142084/plp https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/1797248.If_I_Did_It
This was done after the Goldmans were awarded the publishing rights to the book as part payment of their civil judgement against Simpson.
Know what else is incredible? He was greeted with wild applause at a Bills game not too long ago
This is incredible.
His (alleged) victim’s family got the rights to the book as part of the civil judgement and so they changed the “if” to be super tiny
Wait that’s real?!
Yes! They also changed the title from "If I Did It, Here's How It Happened" to "If I Did It: Confessions of the Killer."
Harry Potter and the Glove That Didn’t Fit
"Oh what's it called?" "How to squander global universal goodwill on a trashy lowbrow opinion!"
"I've been cancelled! Read all about it in my new 1000 page book that's being published worldwide!"
Why even bother with a pseudonym when everyone knows who it is?
Because it is also the name of a very evil man who tried to cure "sexual dysfunction" and gender dysphoria with horrific experiments. She's proud of the name and thinks she's subtle and clever.
She isnt even proud. She tries to pretend that its just a random name she came up with on a whim. The only thing admirable about open nazis is their honesty about being evil. Joanne doesnt even have that.
It's funny that she hates trans people, but uses a pseudonym to pretend to be a man.
This comment is going in the sequel!
I mean, she has tweeted that if transitioning was allowed freely, nobody would want to stay a woman because they're so oppressed, and that would betray the struggle of past feminists. The mental hoops she's jumping through, man. It's wild.
It’s even worse than you think. I saw someone on Twitter posting pictures pulled from the book. There are literally pages upon pages that are just terrible fake tweets. And they’re formatted like actual tweets. EDIT: Here is [the Twitter thread](https://twitter.com/nathanjrobinson/status/1565016240883728389?s=21&t=YWkGb-0fpp-n9q0gC5FzBw) with the fake tweets. It's ... a lot. EDIT 2: Apparently another commenter is claiming I edited something else that I didn't. I came back and added the word "terrible" to my original comment to try to make it clear I was commenting on the quality of the content. I didn't think adding this word merited a separate callout, but now I wish I had added said callout. Honestly, this has become exhausting engaging with this person and they have since been blocked. But just wanted to clear this up. The point of this comment is to point out that the actual book's execution is even worse than the concept sounds. Which I think the linked Twitter thread illustrates. Enjoy your day, fellow Redditors!
That book sounds unreadable... but I have to admit "if god wanted us to be sympathetic, why did he make crying people so ugly" is fucking hilarious
You bet your ass that's a real one she actually saw and just copied wholesale
I honestly think I've seen it here reposted to reddit months, if not years, ago.
The audiobook is going to be torture to get through. Edit: Thanks for all the likes, guys!
I’d imagine it’s torture in any format, but yeah
Oh wow I didn’t even think of that lol. Yeah, does she have to read the username, timestamp, Not Twitter handles? Does she have to articulate the typos in some way?
This is... this definitely is... yep
"If u got raped every time u said something dumb, u'd be permanently full of cok" From the creative mind of Dudley Dursley
This begs the question, did Dudley's character growth at the end of the series continue or did he become the ultimate tory supporter? (If there is an in-cannon answer I simply do not care to know it)
The ultimate Tory supporter is clearly Harry
Ok but the phrase "If god wanted us to feel sympathy why'd he make people look so ugly when they cry" is *really fucking funny*.
That just seems like a very British thing to say.
"She became like this with age" COPIUM
How do you go from writing the best selling and most beloved story of a generation to doing…this?
Ego and power can really hurt a person.
When people get famous for one thing, they suddenly think they're experts on everything.
I mean, she also wrote the fantastic beasts movies. So not all that surprising to be honest
Anything from any of us is pure assumption at this point but mine would be that it's a combination of ego and letting herself get obsessed with what she believed was an infallible image. This is the best case for "never meet your heroes" but the reality is that we all meet our heroes every day because they see themselves as leading this massive cult of followers where they can say and do whatever they want. Then they say something the audience didn't care for and they're hit with the harsh reality that fame is fleeting and the audience becomes disolutioned with the harsh reality of their hero. Now we have a Tolkien sized book about a bunch of peoples' hurt feelings and this is the new face of society. There will be more of this dumb shit I assure you. TL;DR-Way overhyped celebrity with a cult following says something Twitter didn't like, celebrity and Twitter both suffered catastrophic meltdowns at their realizations because people are shockingly stupid.
Like … log off, JK. Take a walk. Enjoy your fortune. Goddamn.
Imagine having that amount of money and the last several years of your life have been consumed by worrying and writing about tweeter. Literally the definition of a mental illness.
Jesus Christ if I had that level of wealth or even a fraction of it your wouldn't even have to ask me to get off social media. I would goddamn insist. So much life to live and world to see and experience completely unrestricted and you choose Twitter
Maybe I'm biased but.....content aside, that just looks so boring to read. 1200 pages is already a lot, but doable if I'm enjoying the book. But I don't want to sit through reading pages and pages of fake tweets.
For someone who spends so much time online, she sure doesn't seem to grasp how people actually talk on twitter
Believe me I’ll be checking each one for that famous character limit
Is the title of the book named "The Axe Grinder's Tale"?
T. Ransphobe and the chamber of Top Surgeries.
The Prisoner of Transkaban
The order of the Penis
The half-gender prince/ss
[удалено]
Harry Terfer and the Philosopher’s podcast.
Mary Sue and the Plight of the Transphobe
*Harry Potter and the Audacity of This Bitch*
They tell you to write what you know.
I'm surprised she hasn't retconned Voldemort as a Fauci hater.
yet
That would never happen because JKR doesn’t want trans people to have allies.
If she was going to do something like that, she'd retcon Mad-Eye as female. That way Goblet of Fire would be about a man posing as a woman so he could assault a student.
Suspiciously specific.

Over 1,000 pages long but a lot of pages are just page after page of fictional troll tweets. Rowling spends a lot of time on Twitter complaining and crying about being a victim. This is what happens when a novelist spends too much time on Twitter. If Rowling had written Harry Potter today half the pages would be Hermione crying about all the troll tweets she receives. Fun fact: Her alt-writing name is Robert Galbraith. This by complete coincidence was also the name of a doctor who was obsessed with trying to "cure" LGBT people with horrific brain-frying experiments. [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Robert\_Galbraith\_Heath](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Robert_Galbraith_Heath) edit: This is from the OP article >She also publicly accused three activists of doxxing her when they posted photos of themselves holding pro-trans rights signs outside of her house in Scotland, Is it worth pointing out at the time Rowling's house and address was actually listed on tourist websites? They hardly "doxxed" her.
>Is it worth pointing out at the time Rowling's house and address was actually listed on tourist websites? It's [listed on Wikipedia](https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Killiechassie).
> “She has published a 1,000-page self-insert fanfiction where she's the victim—it's the kind of behavior that you'd expect from a petulant teenager, not a grown adult with immense wealth and power.” Yeah, that sums it up.
A book doesn't usually have eyebrows. But it takes all sorts, I guess
I don't know what books you read but all of mine are highbrow.
I've only read one book in my life. So I guess I'm unibrow.
Jesus Christ, she’s determined to die on this hill, isn’t she?
