JK Rowling has spoken about how she wrote the first Harry Potter book while she was employed at Amnesty International and how much that experience influenced her writing, and how she learned “the power of human empathy” from working there.

Ummm. Ok.

News to me that she learned the power of human empathy

She learned how to better abuse her victims

Oh lol, she didn't learn to be empathetic. She learned how to use empathy to get rich.
