J.K. Rowling has close to 15 million Twitter followers, and gets tagged in tweets pretty much every single minute.

But that doesn't mean she ignores all of them.

Back in April Sabbah Haji Baji, the director of Haji Public School in Jammu and Kashmir, northern India, tweeted at Rowling with a request.

It only took an hour and a half for Rowling to respond.

Flash forward... two months later: Kulsum received a package in the post.

Yep, that's a whole bunch of Harry Potter goodies, accompanied by a hand-written note from Rowling herself.

Twitter may be a grim place sometimes, but every now and then it's downright magical.
