Dear Jo,
your beautifully intricate plot has inspired me so much throughout my life. It has helped me find my friends who I will cherish forever. It has helped me find my voice as a writer. Without the Harry Potter series, I really would be a different person. It’s pretty crazy to think about. So I guess what I want to say is just thanks. Thank you so much. Also, happy birthday!

Dear Jo,
You probably have no idea how much I owe you. Thanks to you I had a lovely childhood, with Hogwarts being a place I could always come back to during difficult times. I spent every day playing scenes from the books, brewing portions and practicing spells. Now that I'm older, most of my drawings are inspired by what your wonderful imagination gave us, as well as my actions in life. You taught me what is good and what’s not and how to treat other people. I hope you’ll live a long and wonderful life!
All the best, Tabea

Dear Jo,
Love is a precious thing. Love binds people to each other and gives us strength and hope in the darkest of times. What is sad about this world today is that there isn’t enough love. In this world there is too much hate and not enough compassion. But you, Jo, have helped to bring people a little bit closer together. And as you wrote, “We may come from different places, and speak in different tongues, but our hearts beat as one.” Thank you for giving us our childhood and bringing magic into our lives.

Dear Jo,
In my imagination, I’m at Hogwarts every day, right beside Harry as he conquers evil. And every day, I feel I learn something new. When I was seven and I first cracked open these books, a world of magic spilled out around me and I was in pure fascination. I truly felt that I had found a soul mate in Harry. You’ve given me a world of valuable knowledge that I would not have found elsewhere, my personal favorite message being that love is always something worth fighting for. Happee Birthdae, Jo!
Always, Izzy

Dear Jo,
What you and Harry have meant to me over the years is impossible to fit into 100 words. On the other hand, I don’t think the amount of words matters – I wouldn’t be able to describe it anyway. I just want to say thank you (even though those words aren’t nearly enough) for writing the most amazing books ever, for teaching me so many important things and inspiring me so much, and for creating magic that will live on forever inside us Potterheads. I’m so happy to be a part of this wonderful fandom. THANK YOU. ?

Dear Jo,
And Happy Birthday!! I hope you'll have a wonderful and magical day with loads of laughter and birthday cake. I also want to take this oppertunity to say thank you. Thank you for the wonerful world you've created and thank you for making my childhood (and the rest of my life) magical. You've given me and so many others friends for life and I know that whenever I feel sad or lonely, Harry and his friends will always be there for me. I've learned so much from you and the characters about friendship, love, bravery and so on and I know that if I wouldn't have grown up with Harry Potter I'd be a totailly different person. So thank you so much for everything! You really and truly are our queen and I hope you know how much you mean to us and how much we love you. I'm forever grateful for everything you've done. Thank you!
Loads of birthday wishes,

Dear Jo,
Happy birthday!! I hope you have a magnificent day, but most importantly, a magical one. Thank you for bringing Harry Potter into our lives and making us part of the magic. I don’t know what my life would be like without it, specially since I wouldn’t have the opportunity of actually getting to know love, friendship, commitment, loyalty and many other values and feelings that the series transmit. I really love and enjoy the books, and I look forward for “The Casual Vacancy”.
With all my love, Marggie Dayan

My brother and I just want to express our feelings towards you and say how privileged we are to have been a part of the Harry Potter generation. We simply grew up with your series. While we were reading the first book we together with Harry entered the magical world on Platform 9 ¾ . In addition to your great and well-thought descriptions, we became closer friends with Harry, Hermione, Ron, Luna, Neville, Ginny, Draco…Thank you for our childhood and for filling our lives with magic, adventure, love, thrills… Thank you for making us the people we are today and thank you for being our Queen and idol. Happy Birthday! All the best!

Thank you. You are an inspiration and you gave us a home. Harry, Hogwarts, and you will be with us always in our hearts. I was an outcast and was bullied but Harry, Ron, and Hermione were always there to put a smile on my face and take me on another adventure. They were with me in my childhood and will continue on with me into the future. I hope that you have a wonderful birthday and many more to come.

Dear Jo,
Thank you for writing those wonderful books. You taught me so much about life and I have learnt to find magic in the most unexpected places. Thank you for making my childhood magical, the friends I made, the memories I share with everyone who has read your books. If times are rough I know Hogwarts will always be there to welcome me home. One more thing - should I ever come across a troll, I know how to defeat them! (although I'm pretty reliant on first-year Gryffindors...) Thank you for everything and may you have a magical birthday!

Dear Jo,
I'm going to start off by saying THANK YOU for writing Harry Potter. It made me who I am today. It has helped me through the tough times in life. For example in 2010 when my grandmother died of cancer, I simply read Harry Potter to get away from everything and try and make it not real – I suppose you could say that I 'escaped' to Hogwarts. Over the years I have laughed and cried (amongst other things) along with the trio; it has been an amazing journey. The power of words – no, the power of your words is phenomenal..
