Harry Potter fan asks J.K. Rowling for advice on depression, gets a great response

Tony Cuddihy

J.K. Rowling shows that she truly cares about people.

Harry Potter author J.K. Rowling has shown her caring side before, from her message to one of the Berkeley victims to her defence of racial minorities in the face of Donald Trump’s bigoted views.

This time, she has responded to a plea for help from a fan suffering from depression.

Replying just ten minutes after the initial tweet was sent, Rowling responded in the most caring and least patronising way possible.

Well done to her.
