The internet gets carried away by JK Rowling-inspired predictive text game

Frustration towards JK Rowling has been on the rise ever since the author revealed that Dumbledore and Grindelwald of the Harry Potter universe were sexually involved in their youth.

Fans and haters alike seem to agree that Rowling’s revelations are rather eccentric, as she creates new and increasingly sexual backstories for her characters.

On Thursday morning, 9GAG took advantage of the writer’s habits and posted a “predictive text” game on Twitter and Instagram, resulting in the author’s name trending once more.

“Type ‘JK Rowling reveals that you’ and tap the centre predictive word until it forms a sentence,” the tweet read.

The internet rose to the occasion, of course.

Others were just genuinely worried that Rowling had released another piece of unsolicited backstory.

According to my device, “JK Rowling reveals that you will die in your own way by the bus.”
