"With Love, JK Rowling" Author Sends Gifts To Jammu And Kashmir School

In April, we brought you the story of Kulsum, the schoolgirl from Jammu and Kashmir who wrote to Harry Potter author JK Rowling, saying she wanted to meet her someday. When the Class 7 student's sweet letter was tweeted by her English teacher at the Haji Public School, the author herself responded and said that she would love to send Kulsum something. Two days ago, Kulsum and her friends received a massive package from Ms Rowling, delivered to them at their school.

"These are for your classmates, friends or anyone you would like to give them to," wrote JK Rowling in a handwritten note that was sent along with the dozens of gifts.

"HELLO, WORLD. SO @jk_rowling SENT A HUGE GIFT BOX FOR KULSUM AND FRIENDS. HANDWRITTEN NOTE, INSCRIBED BOOK, AND THIS IS ALMOST TOO MUCH TO HANDLE," wrote the Director of Haji Public School, Sabbah Haji, on Twitter, her excitement evident.

She adds that the excitement of receiving the gifts even led to the cancellation of a practice exam that was scheduled that day.
