J.K. Rowling’s CONTROVERSIAL New Book Raises Eyebrows.. Welcome back to Recap Central. Although J.K. ROWLING’S Harry Potter series was rooted in fantasy and make-believe, the author seems to be drawing inspiration from something a little more realistic for her latest book: her own life. Rowling’s new novel, The Ink Black Heart — part of her crime-thriller series Cormoran Strike and penned under the pseudonym Robert Galbraith — involves a storyline that appears to mirror Rowling’s public downfall after she continually made statements that have been widely condemned as transphobic. In her new book, Rowling introduces readers to Edie Ledwell, a creator of a popular YouTube cartoon who sees internet trolls and her own fandom turn on her after the cartoon was criticized as being racist and ableist, as well as transphobic for a bit about a hermaphrodite worm. But despite the clear similarities to her own life, Rowling claimed to Graham Norton that it’s all just a big coincidence. Meanwhile, JK Rowling speaks up against online bullying in a podcast interview and called social media “a boon” for online trolls. #JKRowling #TheInkBlackHeart #Transphobia Related Videos: JK Rowling's New Book Features Character That is Doxxed Due to Controversial Views • JK Rowling's New Book Features Character T...
