Our Top 25 favourite J.K. Rowling tweets!

Recently, J.K. Rowling took to Twitter to give us the news that there will not be a Harry Potter TV show, nor will there be a ‘Potter-on-Ice’. But rather than crushing our dreams (well, it did a little, if we’re honest), the hilarious ‘image of Ice Voldemort performing the triple salchow’ perfectly depicts Jo’s mastery of Twitter.

She sure knows how to use those 140 characters; thankfully, her early Twitter days of saying ‘you won’t be hearing from me very often’ didn’t last long. Her social media presence has become prevalent and powerful. She tweets for any occasion and cause, but most importantly, just to connect with her fans. As she answers fans’ questions, or stands up for what she believes in, Jo’s humour never fails to draw media and fans’ attention, love, and favouritism.

Without further ado, here are 25 of our favourite (and most hilarious) J.K. Rowling twitter moments – enjoy! (click to enlarge pictures)

1) Her continued rage at desktop printers:

2) The time we had no idea what was going on:

Maybe a reference to Stephen Hawking’s ‘Zayn Malik in a parallel universe’ theory, but either way, it’s brilliant.

3) When #AddGoatRuinAQuote was used and responded to perfectly:

Ah, of course, the wise words of Aberforth Dumbledore, the goat charmer.

4) When she ‘Can’t decide whether touched or scared’ by our loyalty:

5) Behold, the flugly owl:

The perfect gift for a Hogwarts first year. If it can actually carry letters and fly.

6) The time Jo cleared up that issue with the names of Harry Potter’s kids:

7) Proof that Jo is, indeed, hardcore:

8) We thought she’d never answer this question… 

…And she didn’t, until very recently:

9) And this question, well:

10) In a parallel universe, Harry Potter doesn’t exist. Not because Jo is Zayn Malik, but because she’s an otter-weigher: 

11) We can all agree on this one:

12) Jo may not kill off as many characters as George R.R Martin, but she still feels bad about the ones she does kill:

13) The only way to celebrate Ireland’s victory:

14) Followed by the only way for such a brilliant author to slam the haters:

15) This is possibly our favourite burn of all time: 

Especially seeing as Jo seems to be one of the biggest Serena Williams fans out there:

16) Then there was that time that the world nearly broke her:

Harry Potter and the Cursed Child is set to come out next year, and is most definitely not a prequel. You can find more information on the play’s website, and read more from playwright Jack Thorne here.

17) Perfect use of sarcasm:

We also think that #fideliuscharm has got to be one of the best hashtags around.

18) The time Matthew Lewis (aka, Neville Longbottom) appeared on the cover of Attitude magazine, and was too hot for Jo to handle:

19) Sometimes Tumblr knows her answers: 

20) But, let’s face it: at the end of the day, Jo Rowling knows all:

21) … Even if she can’t play tennis: 

22) This one got us wondering just how many of these budgies she sees: 

Almost as cute as these Potter-themed dogs:

23) NOBODY TWEETS IN CAPITAL LETTERS AND GETS AWAY WITH IT.

24) We’ve decided that pseudonyms work best when J.K. Rowling uses them:

And we definitely have to agree with Chris Rankin (aka Percy Weasley) on this one!

Insulting your literal other half isn’t fair, Jo!

This recent one gave us a laugh – we can only imagine the struggle of faux-quarrels with your writing partner:

25) And finally, the reason we’re all here after all. 

Not only has J.K. Rowling (and Robert Galbraith, of course!) given us books and films we know and love, but her sense of humour is absolutely spot on. Harry had to get his sass from somewhere!

Make sure you give her Twitter page a visit, if you haven’t already!
