J.K. Rowling Threatens ‘Harry Potter’ Fan Page Alleging She Has Estranged Child And Grandchild
J.K. Rowling is threatening to take legal action against a 'Harry Potter' fan on social media.

Rowling, 58, is fighting disturbing claims that she has an estranged daughter and grandchild. The fantasy writer isn't taking the rumor lightly, quickly rejecting the claim and firing back.

Aside from being known for her magical book series, that has since been turned into blockbuster movies, she is often reported for offensive rhetoric.
She recently criticized Sky News on X following their recent report of a trans person who was jailed for murder known as the "cat killer," for referring to them as a "woman" without clarifying that the person was transgender.
