Harry Potter author J.K. Rowling is mocking Vancouver’s parks and recreation board after its commissioners unanimously voted to apologize for hosting a Harry Potter event that is set to open in the city next month.

“To be honest, I didn’t even know Vancouver Parks and Recreations had avowed me, so the disavowal hasn’t been much of a blow,” Rowling said in an Oct. 9 X post. “Next time, send me a certificate of avowal, wait until I’ve proudly framed it, hung it over my PC and taken a selfie with it, THEN revoke it.”
