J.K. Rowling doesn't spend all her time on Twitter dishing out sick burns.

When she's not busy roasting trolls, Donald Trump supporters, or Donald Trump himself, the Harry Potter author likes to take time out to give advice to her fans.

Take Dan Snow and his daughter, for instance. On Sunday, the podcaster shared the following image of his little girl clutching the complete set of Rowling's wizarding tales.

As always, Rowling's response was spot on.

She makes a good point, to be fair.

Based on how horrendously scarring everything gets from book four onwards, Dan, it might be worth pacing yourself...
