Twitter has verified it's hers.

According to Mugglenet & TLC she did it just because there were fake JK Rowlings on Twitter & she wanted to shut them down. Nobody expects her to actually use it.

I doubt she will, but you never know. But I'm sure she's being honest when she says it's mostly to get the fake JKRs to stop impersonating.

My question is... who has time to pretend to be a celebrity anyway? :P

You don't spend much time on Twitter? :D

There are too many of them, the poseurs. It's just bizarre, I think, but that whole "I have more followers than you" race is compelling. To some people. Even if the followers are actually following who they're pretending to be.
