The Harry Potter author was celebrated by Time magazine, which asked the Potter films’ stars to say something nice on her big day. Here’s what they had to say:

Alan Rickman, who played Severus Snape in the series, said: “The Happiest of Birthdays, Jo. A breeze for the supreme Time-traveler.”

Robbie Coltrane, who played Hagrid, said, jokingly, “You don’t look a day over 40. …Perhaps you could celebrate your half century by writing a hilarious film. Perhaps, starring, I don’t know, a large Scottish man.”

Matthew Lewis, who played Neville in the series, said, “I would like to thank Jo for changing MY life …That’s not even to mention her generosity and loyalty when it has come to supporting everything that I have done in the years since Harry Potter.”

Other actors to send Rowling birthday wishes are Oliver and James Phelps, Imelda Staunton, Natalia Tena, David Thewlis, Jason Isaacs, Clemence Poesy, Chris Columbus, Katie Leung, Rupert Grint, Evanna Lynch, Sean Biggerstaff, Frances de la Tour, Mark Williams and Bonnie Wright.
