J.K. Rowling Empowers Writer To Turn Haterade Into Ammunition

Advice taken.

J.K. Rowling recently offered a fan some magical words that we can all take to heart. 

One of the "Harry Potter" author's fans, Twitter user Hagar E. El-Saeed  took to the social media site this past Saturday and told Rowling about some issues she faced as a writer in Egypt. 

"You inspired me to write," the fan tweeted. "However, in Egypt, girls can't do anything freely as boys. They laugh at me when I say I am a writer." 

J.K. Rowling , being the absolute wizard that she is, responded in the most kickass way possible. 

"Don't you dare let their laughter extinguish your ambition," Rowling wrote. "Turn it into fuel! Big hugs from one writer to another x." 

Translation: Haters gonna hate, but who run the world

Of course, the tweet left a huge impression on fan.  

Rowling has been known to be a source of comfort for her fans. Earlier this year, a Twitter user tweeted at the author, asking what she would say to someone who "failed to find meaning and wants to finally give up. " The writer answered flawlessly, sending the Twitter user a beautiful message. 

"I'd say, the world is full of wonderful things you haven't seen yet," she wrote. "Don't ever give up on the chance of seeing them."
