J.K. Rowling might be just as magical in real life as she is within the pages of 'Harry Potter.' When a single father wrote to Rowling about his experience reading the series to his young daughter, the famed author met him with the perfect response.
Matt Burke took to Twitter to thank the world-renowned author.
@jk_rowling I’m a single parent, broke as can be, and reading the Harry Potter series together has become one of the biggest sources of bonding for us.

Along with the heartfelt tweet, Burke attached an article where he went into detail about raising his daughter in a creative environment. Burke explained that though he was initially hesitant to read 'Harry Potter,' he has fallen in love with the series.
Just a few hours after the post was sent, Rowling responded:
.@mattburkephoto The gifts you’re giving your daughter are priceless and I’m truly honoured that Harry & co are playing a part. DM me your address for a set of signed Potters x https://t.co/EAcIKvwJwb

J.K Rowling is no stranger to the struggles that Burke is facing. In 2013, the author told the Daily Mail, about her experience as a single parent working with a low-income, "I was as poor as it's possible to be in this country," she said.
