Ms. Rowling apologized to the boy and his family, but not to Mr. Trump. “Multiple sources have informed me that that was not a full or accurate representation of their interaction,” Ms. Rowling wrote on Twitter on Monday. Ms. Rowling added that she had subsequently deleted the original tweets, though screenshots of them survive online. Ms. Rowling, who may be the world’s most powerful author, has made clear that she is no fan of Mr. Trump, the world’s most powerful politician.
