JK Rowling has sent a touching letter to a Harry Potter fan who suffered bullying.
The 49-year-old author wrote a heartwarming letter to a fan, named Johnnie Blue, who told her how Harry had inspired him through a difficult time in his life.
As reported by Buzzfeed, Rowling responded by writing to him: "What you say about Harry helping you through what was clearly a dreadful time in your life means more to me than I can easily express.
"I freely confess that I loathe bullying and the way it is so often 'handled' in schools."
She continued: "Your experience is shocking and disturbing and that you turned out to be a compassionate, moral, highly motivated person is high testimony to your courage.
"Gryffindor for you, my lad…"
