“J.K. Rowling ditched the black mold pic for whatever the f**k we have here,” one viral tweet read, racking up over 72,000 likes.

Another user sarcastically commented, “Rowling got upset at people pointing out the black mold…so she changed it to her sitting in front of a Furby with a rock-hard er*ction.”
