On Friday night, J. K. Rowling changed her Twitter (currently called X) header from the view of York Minster cathedral to a stock image of a tree house. Its fair to assume this is too late to be Hallmarked Man related, but could this be Strike-Ellacott 9 related? All of J. K. Rowling’s Twitter (currently known as X) headers can be found here. Let me know what you think in the comments!
It has been two weeks since the publication of Sunrise on the Reaping and almost all posts here at Hogwarts Professor have been about the second prequel novel of Suzanne Collins, her fifth Hunger Games effort.
What has happened in the world of J. K. Rowling, also known as Robert Galbraith, in that time?
Judging from her twitter feed, not very much — except for victory laps and scalp taking in the Trans Wars, as that conflict winds down. Her Gender Critical views, once considered radioactive and the height of bigotry, are now sweeping the Public Square. There has been little to no news about Harry Potter or Cormoran Strike for weeks but there have been tweet after tweet about the remnant resistance to “Reality Based” medicine, especially on the political left, about abuse of women in Islamic countries (not to include ‘Asian’ grooming gangs in the UK), and even a little support for Ukraine in response to the United States telling Zelensky the free ride is over (TDS? Check).
There is good news in this. The best of that good news is Rowling’s claim on 3 March (above) that her activity on Twixter is a very, very small part of her day’s labors, 90% of which is dedicated to writing her novels.
The almost as good news in her communication this month with her 14 million+ followers is that her battle with Gender Theory Extremists has largely been won, in no small part due to her sacrificial efforts of resistance to the nightmare that was “transgenderism” at its peak. Her tweets on this subject are now bold, brassy, and largely unforgiving with respect to those who rode the wave of popular opinion and scientistic propaganda.
One tweet that touched on friends from the Potter franchise who threw her under the Knight Bus in conformity with the TWAW Herd caused a grand kerfuffle: Read More “Meanwhile Back in the Rowling Universe”
A representative of the Gender Ideology camp responded with snark, straight up:
Rowling replied by posting without comment a relatively current survey of British public opinion about “transgender rights,” almost all of which TRA talking points are marked as “Majority Disagree,” i.e., “the whole world” if anything seems to reject the claims of those who insist a thinking person (TM) must never “conflate” sex and gender.
Her implicit message to the TRAs and Gender Ideologues? The facts are now well known, the charade is now over, and “transgender women” are hereafter best described as “trans-identifying men.”

In a series of tweets today, Rowling called out those Trans Rights Activists who are now trying to re-write the history of their attacks on those who resisted Trans Mania, 2019-2024. A follower echoed that sentiment in support of that opinion which could have become a piling-on event. Rowling intervened, however, and said there are distinctions to be made between the TRA leaders and witless followers, which may seem as if she is willing to forgive and forget the Cancellation Campaigns led by Wizarding World franchise actors and Harry Potter fandom leaders.
Let’s review those tweets and contrast them with what Rowling said in January this year about the possibility of reconciliation with TRAs in Hollywood and Harry Potter fancon producers, podcasters, and website owners: Read More “Rowling Offers Olive Branch to Harry Potter Actors and Fandom Leaders?”
On Valentine’s day, Lindsey, one of the hosts of the Strike and Ellacott Files podcast, shared a very appropriate video short from inside York Minster. With the cathedral featuring in J. K. Rowling’s latest Twitter header, fans are hoping this is a good omen for the next installment.
Thanks to @cikadina for showing me this video on Instagram because OMG!!!! 😍😍 https://t.co/o4DcQZkm9K
