JK Rowling would like fans to stop 'making plans' for her death, thanks very much
HARRY POTTER and the Philosopher’s Stone, the first book in the Harry Potter series, is 20 years old this year. Twenty! And it will surely be popular for at least 20 more.

Author JK Rowling appreciates all the love she gets for creating the series, but she has asked fans to kindly stop making memes about her death. Please.
Rowling made the request after this awkwardly-worded and rather morose picture started being shared a good bit on Twitter:

“Hogwarts will come back to life as a new generation is introduced to The Boy Who Lived,” it concludes.
Nice sentiment and all… But Rowling would prefer if everyone stopped planning what will happen when she dies. And tagging her in these plans. She is only 51, after all.
One fan didn’t quite get the message… And well, they got told.

Did you hear that, Potterheads? Stop getting ahead of yourselves. She’s going to be around for a while yet.
