Famed author J.K. Rowling, who wrote the successful Harry Potter books and prequal stories, has shared her thoughts on one of the young children Hamas kidnapped, in an X post on October 16.
Rowling shared Israel’s X post about 12-year-old Noya, who was kidnapped by Hamas terrorists and is currently being held by Hamas terrorists.
“This beautiful 12 year old girl with autism was kidnapped from her home by Hamas terrorists and was taken to Gaza. Noya, is sensitive, kind, funny and a massive Harry Potter fan. @jk_rowling can you help us get her story out? Share this and help us bring Noya home #HamasisISIS,” Israel posted alongside a photo of Noya in her Hogwarts uniform.”

Rowling condemns the kidnapping of children
Rowling shared the post, writing that: “Kidnapping children is despicable and wholly unjustifiable. For obvious reasons, this picture has hit home with me. May Noya and all hostages taken by Hamas be returned soon, safely, to their families.”
