Meanwhile, J.K. Rowling walked us through her whole thought process of what constitutes good tea. All of which got started in response to a low ball bribe for Fantastic Beasts.

First interview question: are you American? I say this with love, but I cannot trust an American to make me tea. https://t.co/m067KtXCPU

.@AndreaEllenP Interview question two: has your teabag got a string on it?

When greeted with a less than ideal response involving both a microwave and a string, her reaction was pure gold.
You poor child. Were you raised by wolves? https://t.co/oBTRWY68u1

Except making tea. Tea takes skill, not nerve. Tea is not to be made recklessly. https://t.co/EPvlQ1lqS5

She also challenged us on the sequential addition of milk. For which a suitable answer was finally found.
@jk_rowling Milk after. One bag per person and one for the pot!

Curiously, does all this talk of tea point to something more sinister?
I would never, ever have a Horcrux. They are evil objects created through despicable means! (Possibly a teabag). https://t.co/jcPttBaZuX

No. And this sadly wasn’t the only rumor she shut down.

Dare to dream.
To all those begging for Potter-on-Ice: the image of Ice Voldemort performing the triple salchow will haunt my dreams tonight. #sick
