J.K. Rowling, a British fantasy fiction author, rose to popularity between 1997 and 2007 when she released several volumes of the Harry Potter children’s fantasy series. The literary franchise was quickly translated into a mega-successful film adaption by Warner Bros. Studio, which has since been in charge of the production and distribution of Harry Potter universe films.
The creator of the renowned Harry Potter franchise appears continuously in controversy on Twitter. However, it might be challenging to keep track of what people are furious about. To put it simply, many critics have called Rowling a “transphobe” due to her frequently voiced views on s*x and gender, as well as her support for feminists who oppose the notion that being a man or woman is a state of mind. However, what has she done this time?
J.K. Rowling flaunts her riches on Twitter
J.K. Rowling is the self-made author of one of the most popular, adored, and famous fantasy novels. She overcame personal issues and a traumatic beginning to win the hearts of millions.
However, what began as a safe haven for children and inspiration for mothers all around the world quickly turned into a cautionary tale. With the ability to inspire and captivate the attention of many, every word spoken by the person carries a significant burden of accountability.
The Harry Potter author’s recent controversy started with a fan tweeting the author, “How do you sleep at night knowing you’ve lost a whole audience from buying your books?” To which the author replied, which quickly tormented a lot of people over Twitter.

Rowling found herself in heated air a few months ago after expressing a controversial statement about transgender individuals, which prompted various celebrities, authors, and others to condemn her belief. She passionately disputed the use of the phrase “people who menstruate,” prompting a Twitter mob to demand her cancellation after labeling her transphobic.
Fans trolling J.K. Rowling for her controversial tweet
The writer has already had her fair share of issues in recent years. J.K. Rowling grew to prominence amongst fans as well as the film industry as one of the most creative minds, but she was involved in multiple problems after openly voicing transphobic remarks. Her actions were harshly denounced on social media and throughout the profession.
With her recent controversy of bragging about her riches on Twitter, fans have started trolling the Fantastic Beast writer once again.

My late husband adored your writing. He would loathe what you’ve become. Cling to your royalties. “On those cold winter nights you can snuggle up to your cash register, it’s a little lumpy but it rings,” As Dolly Levi once said.

It genuinely hurts how uncaring you’ve become that your words and actions are causing so much pain to a group of people who once idolized you. But I guess money is the only thing that really matters to you know; and that is just sad.

I love Harry Potter but I find this statement so awful, so disrespectful. You have made your points and stance clear. People have disagreed with you, felt insulted and hurt, and some have stopped supporting you. And you dismiss them by flaunting your riches? Wow. ❌❌❌

The main character in your opus is wealthy with a poverty stricken best friend he chooses to not help.
Which makes a lot of sense in retrospect.

The Harry Potter author has constantly dug in her heels, irrespective of who favors or rejects her. What are your thoughts on this?
