Fans were waiting to see who she would pay tribute to today but she once again surprised us all with her kindness and generosity.

J.K. Rowling Donates £1 Million to Charity

Do to the pandemic taking over the world, J.K. Rowling stated on Twitter she felt it inappropriate to talk about fictional deaths when so many people are losing loved ones in the real world. If that’s not all she went on to say that’s she’s going to be donating £1 million split between two charities.


The first half will be going to Crisis.org.uk for the homeless during the pandemic and the second half will be going to Refuge.org.uk for the increased domestic violence during lockdown.

J.K. Rowling has given large amounts  to charity in the past and continues to set great examples. Her books continue to inspire and bring hope to those who need it. So in honor of the great wizarding world victory she’s donating and thinking about our own heroes that are out there today. The essential workers and everyone trying to help during these though times. So if you’re feeling down during this lockdown celebrate today, International Harry Potter Day and remember that Hogwarts will always be there to welcome you home. Thank you to J.K. Rowling and everyone who continues to do there part.
