Harry Potter author JK Rowling made good on her promise to drop in on a Scottish book club - after the fan behind it backed her over her views on gender issues.
The writer, 56, was hailed as "brilliant, brave, and hilarious" after sharing Tunnock's Teacakes and laughs at the group.
She promised to attend JKR's Barmy Book Army after the woman behind it, book club organiser Woman for Women, revealed she'd walked out on her own reading club.
The reader decided to set up her own club after butting heads with other members who had attacked JK Rowling during their meetings.
It came after the author was targeted by trolls with countless death threats for airing her controversial opinions on gender issues on social media.
And this week, JK has made good on her promise, which we revealed earlier this year.
The book group Tweeted: "THE TERF WHO CAME TO TEA
"This weekend the brilliant, brave, and hilarious @jk_rowling hit up Barmy Book Club HQ.
"We laughed until we cried and smiled until our faces hurt. We ate Tunnock’s teacakes. We drank a lot of tea. And we talked about EVERYTHING.
"All you women, fighting your private and public fights, and all of you who are suffering as a result of this ideology, rest assured: this woman is with you. She’s listening and watching and thinking deeply. And she has a cracking signature.
"Thank you for everything, Jo. We love you. We’re glad you exist."
SNP MP for Edinburgh South West, Queen's Counsel and Feminist Joanna Cherry QC said she was overjoyed at the news.
She Tweeted: "Delighted for my friends at @JKRsBarmyBooks that their book club had such a distinguished visitor & delighted that they were reading & discussing my number one favourite novel The Sea, The Sea by @IrisMurdoch."
