Earlier this week J.K. Rowling relaunched her website with an all-new design and a new section titled “Rumors Debunked.”
Though the secret page currently sits empty (you’ll find a link hidden on her home page), Rowling promised in an introductory post that she’ll be updating this website with content more frequently than she did her previous website.
With this in mind, we hit up J.K. Rowling’s favorite place to talk Harry Potter, Twitter, to ask fans what they want the author to debunk or answer.
@JK_Rowling, listen up!
These are only the suggestions we received on Twitter. If your request for Jo is missing (and it probably is), then leave it in the comments!
Is she ever gonna write a character who's queer in the actual text and not revealed two years after the fact in an interview? https://t.co/lRtM8CrtuZ

why were there no explicitly queer characters in her books? why were there little to no POC in them? https://t.co/pW7OzlpPoo

When will we get a PoC main character? When will we get an explicitly queer main character? Will she do any research before she writes them? https://t.co/hTenykgxdK

White Harlem in FBWTFT is covered, so why hasn't she apologized to the Native communities for that #MagicInNorthAmerica nonsense? @Hypable

@Hypable How much/little does CC resemble the 8/9/10th books that you said you could write on Oprah in 2010? ?
