Rowling](http://time.com/4723729/j-k-rowling-trump-tweets/) is undeniably one of the most popular authors on Twitter. And thanks to her commitment to [engaging with fans](http://time.com/4832670/harry-potter-j-k-rowling-20th-anniversary-tweet/), revealing new details about her beloved [_Harry Potter_](http://time.com/4824047/harry-potter-20th-anniversary/) series and dishing out candid political commentary, it’s likely to stay that way.
