JK Rowling is now a Twitter user!
The author of the Harry Potter books has an official Twitter account!A visitor to our friends at Leaky reported the verified Twitter account and they confirmed with Jo's reps that it's legitimate.
Jo created the account to put an end to all the fake ones. She also wrote this first (and only) message:
I am told that people have been twittering on my behalf, so I thought a brief visit was in order just to prevent any more confusion! However, I should flag up now that although I could twitter endlessly, I’m afraid you won’t be hearing from me very often, as pen and paper is my priority at the moment
Pen and paper are Jo's priorities at the moment? Hmmmm?! You can follow MuggleNet's official account right here. To follow all the Potter stars from the films, simply click here and follow the easy instructions!

So she is working on the HP encyclopedia?
It's what everyone has wanted. I literally screamed with excitement when I saw this. Her follower numbers are going to be reaching world records by the end if the day. We all adore her so we should all be celebrating!
OF COURSE Andrew would me the number one to report this story. LMAO.
You know how awesome this is! ".............as pen and paper is my priority at the moment" that means she is writing, right? Oh, and she just got like 1000 new followers in a few minutes. YAY!
It had to be Andrew that posted it. Seeing that Andrew posted it just made my day!
Oh... god... conflicting thoughts... do I get a Twitter, no matter how much I hate it, just to follow Jo?!? I can't *not*! *Get's a twitter*. Frak me.
She's working on something then?!? I'm excited!
I don't want a twitter account, myself. But, how come she can't update her website? I mean besides just posting birthdays. I hope she is writing more stories, either HP book related, like the encyclopedia or anyother story. Once a writer, always a writer.

AWESOME!!!!! I'm so going to follow her!
I think hoping for an eighth Harry Potter book is insane but really it's what we fans hope for day and night... Sigh...
yes i'm following jk now wooo
Ahh She is writing the Political book she was gonna write (Political fairytale - sort of animal farm?) and the Encyclopedia (HP). 16,040 Follower = me lol :) 15th Comment :P
First i find out amy lee from evanescence has twitter and now this :O!! woo!
19,999th follower and the number jumped to 20,208 a minute later. This is great news.
hey! maybe I'll finally get a Twitter account now :) BUT OH MY GOODNESS THAT IS SO EXCITING THAT SHE IS WRITING! Please, please, please, Jo, just publish another book already!
i don't know why everyone polled that she was working on a childrens book, she is obviously working on the scottish book!!!!
Following........ NOW! :D
Twitter is distracting me these days but I just have to follow our beloved Jo...
thats great news
That is indeed great news, but somehow I don't think Jo's working on the Encyclipedia... that would just be too good to be true! Well, I just hope that her next book, whatever it is, will be as good as the HP saga!
Yay I'm following her now :) Great to hear she is writing something! And her followers are still going up.
Yey excitement for new material!!!!
i really hope she is not just teasing us! i would love for her to publish anything--absolutely anything--and soon, and i know i would just love whatever it is. her writing style and imagination could make anything interesting, and i hope she writes many more things to come.
OMG, this is so awesooooome :D I'm follower 39, 461 :D
Oh. My. God. I NEVER thought I'd see this. I guess I just sort of thought that this sort of thing was against her moral principles or something. I think I'm going into shock. I haven't been on MN since Thursday because I went out of town and I first saw "JK Rowling" next to "Twitter" on the poll and and I literally felt my jaw drop. I just caught it out of the corner of my eye and I completely flipped. I thought it was a joke! I really did! And now I'm very conflicted. Because I always thought this sort of thing was just absolute rubbish, but now my all-time idol is on Twitter and now I don't know what to think. Well, very cool that it sounds like she's definitely working on something, probably the Scottish Book!! Can't wait!! Oh, I just actually took the poll and it seems that most of you think the same thing. I really REALLY hope we're right!
This really is cool, but I wish I was old enough to get Twitter! :( It's REALLY not fair!!!!!!
as much as i love j.k. rowling i have hatred for her......for some odd reason....it might even be the fact that she apporoved half-blood prince which was a big mistake.....but i still love her.....i think pen and paper is a better way!!!
Her account used to say Verified, when this story first went up, but now it doesn't. I wonder why.
THIS IS SOOO COOL yayyy
