Celebrated author J.K. Rowling just bestowed one of her devoted readers the gift of magic in the form of specially inscribed Harry Potter books and other special paraphernalia.

Rowling's generosity was in response to a heartfelt letter written by Kulsum, a 12-year-old student from the northern Indian state of Jammu and Kashmir, who was inspired by the author's life and achievements.



The school's director, Sabbah Haji, shared the girl's essay on Twitter and tagged Rowling in the hopes the British author would be moved by the young girl's words.




Not only did Rowling read the letter, she responded and asked for Kulsum's address so she could "send her something."




And the author delivered on her promise.


The contents in the package included a personalized handwritten note along with other Potter merchandise for Kulsum. But Rowling sent other Potter goodies to Kulsum's classmates as well.

Twitter was charmed by Rowling's act of kindness.






People were moved by the wonderful Twitter interaction and the surprise that made Kulsum's day.


The benevolent scribe checked in and was relieved to hear her special delivery was a success. (Did she not enlist the services of the Owl Post?)

It's pretty well known that Rowling adores her fans and often makes their day by sending them special gifts.

Just recently, she responded to a single father who explained that reading Harry Potter together with his daughter brought them closer together.



Rowling proves that even muggles like herself are capable of great magic.

Trump Dragged After Making Ridiculous Claim About Randomly Finding Billions On The 'Tariff Shelf'

President Donald Trump was criticized after he claimed to reporters this week that officials in his administration suddenly found $30 billion they "never knew existed"—located on what Trump referred to as the "tariff shelf."

Tariffs are a tax on imported goods, usually calculated as a percentage of the purchase price. While tariffs can shield domestic manufacturers by making foreign products more expensive, they are also used as a tool to penalize countries engaged in unfair trade practices, such as government subsidies or dumping goods below market value.

Bride's Friends Surprise Her With Montage Video Of All Her Exes At Bachelorette Party—And People Are Mortified

While Jenny Han's novel To All the Boys I've Loved Before was a major hit, and even became a great film success in 2018, not everyone's married to the idea of reconnecting with their exes after the relationships end.

It might be nice to imagine staying friends after the relationships, imagining our exes missing us or regretting losing us, or even giving us an apology for the things they did wrong. But most of us pine for this for a little while, realize it's all a fairy tale, and push past it to better things and new love.
