This Thanksgiving, I’m thankful for J.K. Rowling. She continues to be one of the most wonderful and sincerest authors of our time. Even though Harry Potter ended nine years ago, she’s still providing not just the Harry Potter community, but the world at large, stories within the wizarding world that expand on what came before in interesting and cool ways. J.K. Rowling gave us Harry Potter and the Cursed Child this year, which I adored for its humor and willingness to be a bit silly while also telling a genuine story. She also bridged the gap between my two loves – books and film – by writing the script for Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them. Though the film had its issues, the magic was alive and well. Thank you, J.K. Rowling, for continuing this world of wizards and witches and magic. It’s good to be back. – Katey Stoetzel
