1. J.K. Rowling is the undisputed queen of Twitter.
'What would you like to be if you weren't a writer?' An otter weigher.
2. She's outspoken.
.@sjosiah0 The Internet doesn’t just offer opportunities for misogynistic abuse, you know. Penis enlargers can also be bought discreetly.
3. Full of revelations.
.@acciowandspells It's a pine marten.
4. And is pretty damn hilarious.
@ginnyweaslettpo It's changed me a bit, to be honest. I don't cut my own hair any more.
5. She uses it to perfectly slam internet trolls.
.@diegtristan8 "she is built like a man". Yeah, my husband looks just like this in a dress. You're an idiot.
6. Especially when it comes to LGBT rights.
.@anakocovic21 Maybe because gay people just look like... people?
7. Whether it's confirming Hogwarts was a safe place for LGBT students.
.@claraoswiin But of course.
8. Celebrating Ireland's same-sex marriage ruling.
.@justaoifethings 💚🍀🌈💚 Then they could get married IN IRELAND! 💚🍀🌈💚
9. Or calling out anti-gay activist group Westboro Baptist Church.
.@WBCsigns Alas, the sheer awesomeness of such a union in such a place would blow your tiny bigoted minds out of your thick sloping skulls.
10. She's constantly awesome at social networking.
.@aboymadeofsky No, Jonathan, I've never made a single decision in my life on the basis of whether it was cool.
11. Especially when it comes to communicating with her Harry Potter cast.
@Evy_Lynch XXX can't do emoticons XXX
12. Whether it's praising Emma Watson's #HeForShe campaign.
.@wastsons She'd be extremely proud. Emma's speech was incredible. #HeForShe
13. Or commenting on Neville Longbottom's photo shoots.
.@Mattdavelewis Not as bad as watching Dan in Equus, but close. Warn me next time, for God's sake. https://t.co/r8EUd1GKqT
.@Mattdavelewis I will always support you whatever you want to do, Matthew. Now go put some clothes on.
Which gives us an excuse to show you it again. 😋
14. She also always takes care of her Potter family.
15. And has many wise words when it comes to body image.
16. But she's also pretty awesome with her fans.
If @jk_rowling answers my question I'll get her face tattooed on my forehead
.@sirius_birthday That is a truly grotesque thought. I can never answer you now.
17. And connects with them constantly.
.@UTG_manchester I remember you vividly. You left without ever telling me why. Still hurts.
18. Whatever house they may be.
Happy pride day to all Slytherins, you devious little serpents, you.
19. She happily answers their questions.
.@McPottah Ah, the question I've been waiting for all my life. The answer, of course, is no. I am poikilothermic.
20. And gives them good advice.
If you're waiting for universal popularity, you'll be on Twitter a VERY long time. xxxx
21. And tweets funny comments to Stephen King like it's NBD.
@StephenKing I thought I'd written something pretty frightening today. Then I saw this and got some perspective.
22. But even with all of the above she can be incredibly self-deprecating.
I can't say I consider myself a 'world leader' though. Maybe of worlds inside my head? In the real world I can barely lead my dog.
23. And hilarious as she's doing so.
24. She also shares a birthday with Harry Potter.
So to J.K. and to Harry, we wish you a very happy birthday!
