Since the door closed on jkrowling.com, Jo has taken to Twitter to update fans on the latest news from the Wizarding World. From the casting of Fantastic Beasts to her silence on Lavender Brown, her commentary has created controversy. Is it good for JK Rowling to continue to touch on the story that canonically wrapped up in 2011 in real time, or should she step away from the platform and let our imagination fill in the blanks?
