To Ryan- If Potter fans were Every Flavor Beans, you would be cheesecake (who doesn’t love cheesecake?) Magically Yours~ Jo

To Gryffin Bradley (My one month old son)

May you grow with the ambition of a Slytherin, the intellect of a Ravenclaw, the acceptance of a Hufflepuff, and the bravery of a Gryffindor. Jo Rowling

To Ann-

When the dementors of life get you down,
Don’t be afraid to stand your ground.

Nasty muggles are everywhere,
Grab your wand and don’t despair.

Laughter and tears are part of the game,
After reading these pages you won’t be the same.

Love,
J.K. Rowling

Dear Prenz,
Climb every mountain, cross every stream,
Keep moving ahead, till you achieve your dream.
Hope is what Harry had, when he was eleven years old, he lived through it, and made it because of it. Don’t ever let go of it!
Best wishes,
J.K. Rowling

Dear Janelle,

May you “pull a Weasley” on all the Umbridges in your life that try to stop
you from achieving your goals. Only you can stop you from going where you
want to go.

Love, Jo.

To Ramey — Never forget that love and friendship will always triumph over hate and enmity. Amor Vincit Omnia! — J.K. Rowling

Katie –

Youth is like a pot of leprechaun gold – enjoy it before it disappears!

All the best, Jo.

Madeline – Remember it is our choices, not our actions that define us. Our actions can either lead to a road of greatness or failure. If you fail get back on your feet and don’t give up. Remember, even Harry was once stuck in a broom cupboard! Love, J.K. Rowling

To Jenny:
I realize that you think I said ‘please move in with me and my family’, but I truly didn’t. Remember, hearing voices no one else can hear isn’t a good sign, even in the wizarding world. Kindly remove your sleeping bag and tent from my front gate.

Love from,
Jo

Dear Sophie,

Thanks so much for ghost writing. I really needed that holiday. Your money is in the brown paper bag under the table. I’ll email you about our next collaboration.

Love Jo.

Yes, Helga Hufflepuff imprisoned the house elves, no the sorting hat doesn’t smell like rotting dandruff, I don’t know if the goat would have done that even without inappropriate charms…God I need a firewhiskey…I’m sorry, I didn’t mean to write this in your book. What was your name again?

Shawn-
I’m sorry for all of the injuries you’ve acquired trying to run through platform barriers and jumping into fires and shouting locations. But I do hope you can stop trying to find the “real” wizarding world long enough to read the fictional one I have written.
Love, J.K Rowling

Dear Sarah,

It’s all real!

Yours truly,

J.K. Rowling

Laura Kremer,
You’re as clever as Hermione, as entertaining as Ron, clumsy as Neville and
as spunky as Ginny. Keep the twinkle of Dumbledore and always try to be as
brave as Harry. Remember whenever you are blue, there will always be
someone to send you a toilet seat.
Jo

May your children always be your reason to write,
never an excuse to still your pen,
and may words always serve you well,
even when you’ve not a Knut left in Gringotts.

For Love and its scars,
Jo
