…finally, yawning, he inched sideways over into the empty seat beside him, and laboriously pulled himself up into a standing position in the aisle, so he could access the holdall in the luggage rack overhead. Beside his holdall sat a Waitrose bag, because he’d made a detour into the supermarket on the way to Paddington station, where he’d grabbed three Easter eggs for his nephews, or rather, three chocolate hedgehogs (“Woodland Friends”) because they were relatively compact. Now, groping in his holdall for The Demon of Paradise Park, he accidentally knocked over the carrier bag containing the chocolate. The uppermost hedgehog fell out: in his attempt to catch it, he accidentally batted it up into the air; the box bounced off the back of the elderly woman’s seat, causing her to squeak in surprise, and the box hit the floor. —— “Mine’s all broken,” said Luke, shaking the box. “That’s a shame,” said Strike, and Lucy shot him a sharp look. #TroubledBlood

@That_N8 There are some parts that really worked for me - mainly everything McGonagall but everything Voldemort was pretty terrible and is so well written and crafted in the book. Not trusting the audience with the complexities of wand lore was also a huge mistake.

I think I developed a strong dislike for Deathly Hallows: Part 2 over time. I wasn’t ever in love with it but the dislike has surely grown over time. I hate so many of the choice they made in the adaptation of that book, which is my second favourite in the series.

@KeruboSk All the time!

Are there women who leave the house completely barefaced? With no makeup at all. Just embracing their natural look. Curious...What’s that like for you?

Three Easters ago I decided it was time for Cardboard Corm to confront his past and visit #Norfolk. He agreed, on condition he travelled there blindfolded in the boot of my car until we got to a pub. "He never went voluntarily into Norfolk and in fact had a slight prejudice against the whole county, because the worst of all the many places to which Strike’s novelty-chasing, peripatetic mother had taken her son and daughter to live had been a Norfolk commune, a place Strike sincerely hoped no longer existed." Ch 48 "Strike put his mobile down beside the bloody handkerchief and set off for the Tuesday Market Place, the cut over his left eye still smarting. The large square he entered a few minutes later was bordered on all sides with many fine buildings, including banks and hotels. There was no market there today, and the central space was full of parked cars. The Maids Head, a squat pub of dark brick, stood right beside the larger and grander Duke’s Head."

Swans have one off the coolest landing technique ever.. 😊

@IrisThinksMeh @jk_rowling @RobBenjaminPaul @oglex25 @DuncanHenry78 @bencooper Couldn’t help but say yes - no negative energy on this one

@jk_rowling @RobBenjaminPaul @oglex25 @DuncanHenry78 @bencooper Have you written that kiss yet?

I fear this might be my most controversial take ever, but I agreed to put it to a vote so here we are. Hoodies should only be worn by men young enough not to look silly carrying a skateboard.

If you're the mother who was reading Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone aloud to your child on the LNER train from London to Edinburgh yesterday, one of my grown up children was listening and says you did the voices brilliantly❤️🥹

@lmf3b I’m on 115!

fartingsofafaculty.blogspot.com/2026/03/the-ha… #TheHallmarkedMan is drawing to a close. Short chapters and frequent phone interruptions accelerate the Pace as #RobinEllacott and Midge find the silver, and #CormoranStrike zeroes in on the killer.

@jk_rowling @LudicrousMonica I’m so happy that you’re happy. My household all got together to watch it and we cheered at this frame. It reminded me of my 10th birthday party at the Leicester Square preview when we cheered for you as children. Thank you for a lifetime of happy memories!

@LudicrousMonica It's going to be incredible. I'm so happy with it.

Hey @jk_rowling The trailer for the new Harry Potter looks bloody marvellous. I cannot wait, and as it seems to me, neither can the rest of the world❤️🪄

🎊Happy B'Day to Holliday Grainger! 🥰 Thank you for bringing Robin Ellacott to life & making us fall in love with you! 🥳 #HollidayGrainger #Robin

Started reading the series again, before my all-time favorite present comes. (Why is it taking so long?😓)

@badly_wired No it’s objectively completely enthralling!!!!

Am I too old to be thrilled by this image? 😂 I've been puzzling over the Hogwart's robes - are they like monks tunics? - and now I want this cape! 😍 #HarryPotter

#DenmarkStreet, on this day two years ago, filming #Strike & #Ellacott Series 6 #TheInkBlackHeart. One of my very favourite photos, thank you SN ❤️ @stephen_hagan as TLF Murphy made a very brief appearance on DS for the filming of #TheRunningGrave in January this year - I don't think the "paps" captured that scene. Nothing could top the excitement/annoyance of seeing him in costume for the first time, though. He was well aware that he was about to be a "hated" character and was very charming about it. 😅

Are you as excited as we are? 🤩 #Lumos
