JK Rowling, being a legend once again.

JK Rowling is fond of answering fans' questions online and giving behind-the-scenes information and extra notes on the Harry Potter world. But now, she's outdone herself by trying to help out a PhD student in dire need. She tweeted earlier about a man who had left his laptop bag back of a taxi in Dublin. The major dilemma here, apart from losing a laptop, was that the bag contained his PhD notes, and the laptop itself has all his PhD files. He had been out celebrating his thesis corrections and after falling asleep in the taxi he left the bag behind. Nightmare! Rowling shared an image of his Facebook status saying: "One of my worst nightmares has happened to this poor man. RT to help!" https://twitter.com/jk_rowling/status/862592937678577664
