Photo by Mike Marsland/WireImage Continuing her rampant desire to obliterate her reputation as the mastermind behind one of the most popular, beloved, and lucrative multimedia juggernauts there’s ever been, J.K. Rowling has offered a helpful reminder that she’s far too rich to care what people think about her.
