In order to help with the fundraising organized by Lumoth, Rowling auctioned off a handwritten and illustrated book of the Tales of Bard Pitto, a magical fairy tale book that appeared in Harry Potter - The Relic of Death, and Rowling made a total of 7 copies.

It was eventually won by the Amazon online bookstore for £1.95 million in 2007, making it the most expensive book of our time. "There are many desperate children waiting for help.

In May 2008, British bookseller Waterstones asked Rowling and 12 other writers to write a short essay or story on an A5 card for a charity auction in support of the Dyslexia Action and PEN England.

In addition, Rowling worked with Nelson Mandela, Al Gaul and Aaron Greensbane to write an introduction to former British Prime Minister Gordon Brown's collection of speeches, with proceeds donated to the Jennifer Brown Research Laboratory.

In 2008, on the eve of the Labour National Convention, Rowling announced a £1 million donation to the Labour Party to endorse former British Prime Minister Gordon Brown. She said:

“

I believe that poor and vulnerable families would be better off under Labour than under David Cameron's Conservative Party.

Gordon Brown has always been committed to saving children and families in need who do not have opportunities and choices.

The Labour government has long focused on child poverty and is a pioneer in the EU on this issue.

David Cameron's tax cuts for married couples, on the other hand, reminded me of the life of a poor single mother under the Conservative government.

This means that the Conservatives still believe in childless, double-income, but the policy of more financial assistance for married couples than families struggling with poverty puts these poor families at a disadvantage. ”

Rowling also expressed her views on the 2008 U.S. presidential election to the Spanish-language newspaper El País. She said she was very concerned about the outcome of the U.S. election because it would have a significant impact on the world in the future.

In 2008, she called Barack Obama and Hillary Clinton extraordinary if they were in the White House. In some interviews, she mentions that her hero is former U.S. Attorney General Robert F. Kennedy.

In April 2010, Rowling wrote in The Times criticised Cameron for offering married couples a £150 a year tax relief in order to encourage them to stay together.

“

People who are in poverty do not say things that are not about money, but about messages.

That's money when you've got a hole in your house and you can't afford a locksmith, when you're two pence short of baking beans and your child is hungry, that's money, and when you find yourself thinking about taking a nappy because you can't afford it.

If Mr. Cameron's only advice to poor women raising children on their own is 'find someone to marry, and we will reward you with £150,' it would be a blow to his ignorance of their true situation.

How many possible husbands did I meet when I was a single mother with children, no job, and barely able to make ends meet in my apartment every night?

Should I be with the young man who broke my kitchen window at 3 a.m.? Sending a message with £500,000 – it won't bring more economic benefits and won't get more people to give flowers to low-income married people. ”

As a resident of Scotland, Rowling was eligible to vote in the 2014 Scottish independence referendum. She supported Scotland's continued presence in the United Kingdom.

A few years ago, some religious people thought Rowling's book was a suspicion of witchcraft. Rowling clarified that she was a Christian, and that she attended the Church of Scotland when Harry Potter was written, and that her eldest daughter, Jessica, was baptized there.

"I go to church voluntarily," she said, "without fanatizing my religious responsibilities." She also said, "I believe in God, not in magic. She thinks that if readers know that she is a Christian, they will read about that faith in the books.

In a 2007 interview with the Dutch newspaper Le Le Pop, Rowling described her religious background as follows:

“

Officially, I was a Christian in the Anglican Church, but I was an outlier at home. We rarely talk about religion in our family. My father had no faith, and neither did my sister.

My mother would go to church occasionally, but mostly at Christmas. So I look special.

When I was 13 or 14 years old, I always went to church alone. I have a lot of interest in Him and I believe in Him. When I went to college, I became very critical, angry with complacent religious people, and went to church less and less.

Now I go back to the beginning: yes, I believe. And yes, I will go to church. It was a Protestant church in Edinburgh. My husband was also Protestant, but he came from a strict Scottish group where people were not allowed to sing or talk. ”
