JK Rowling has criticised some social media users for “implying people are losers if they aren’t learning a new skill” while on lockdown during the coronavirus crisis.
Earlier this week, Rowling unveiled a new Harry Potter platform to help keep children entertained while on lockdown.
The author took to Twitter to accuse “life coaches” of “shaming” others, and argued that “endless distraction” cannot cure depression.
She wrote: “If you’re a ‘life coach’ who’s on here implying people are losers if they aren’t learning a new skill/building a brand while on lockdown, maybe stop.
