Former Speaker Wrote All Harry Potter Books, Sources Confirm

WASHINGTON—Following news that author J.K. Rowling had secretly authored the crime novelunder the pen name Robert Galbraith earlier this year, multiple reports confirmed today that Rowling, widely known as the author of the popular Harry Potter series of books, is actually the longtime pseudonym of former house speaker Newt Gingrich, who created the boy wizard and penned all seven of the bestselling novels.

“Assuming a fake identity really gave me a lot of freedom to build out the world of Hogwarts and flesh out the characters without drawing unwanted attention to myself or having the novels associated in any way with my political career,” Gingrich said in a statement, confirming reports he wrote the first four books in the fantasy series while still in office, but wrote the remainder before his 2012 presidential run.

Makes perfect’effing sense. I’m embarrassed I didn’t see that.

A swing and a miss on this one. Prioritizing the safety of girls/women doesn't make you an old conservative. If it does...the ground has definitely shifted.

He really tuned down his style, but I guess it was to break into the YA market.

Even in this world of insanity, you guys never let me down. Thanks for that.

I don't believe you. No-one in the world is named Newt. Not even a children's fantasy author

lmaooooo

Totally explains Newt Scamander.

Hope he (or she) doesn't get cancer. They will be looking for a new spouse.

What would we do without you

Lame... c'mon onion, you know better, trans cannot change their sex, they can only co-opt oppression

2013 holy shit

Wow. I thought it was actually JK Simmons the whole time.

Who had this in their 2020 apocalypse bingo!?

I FUCKING KNEW IT

Women's rights being for actual women is such a ridiculous idea.

Remember your 'grabblers video' I do... How fast are you going to delete it now?

Ouch

What a POS he is! Always was, always will be!

Kinda thought it was weird when he/she floated this as the new sorting hat.
