LONDON -- When she's not busy delivering sick burns on social media, Twitter Queen J.K. Rowling occasionally likes to show her soft side.
On Tuesday, the Harry Potter author took a break from shutting down haters and turned her attention to the super-fans sharing adorable baby photos with her.

Then, one mother shared a picture of her daughter Sofia.

Rowling was quick to respond.
Well, I'm not going to apologise because I think she looks beautiful! https://t.co/phBSlo14ME— J.K. Rowling (@jk_rowling) February 23, 2016
Sofia will almost certainly be getting a Hogwarts letter in 11 or so years' time.
