J.K. Rowling filled with a 'God-shaped vacuum'

Joanne Kathleen “J.K.” Rowling has said she has a “God-shaped vacuum” inside her.

In a post on X, the Harry Potter author wrote: “I've struggled with religious faith since my mid-teens. I appear to have a God-shaped vacuum inside me but I never seem quite able to make up my mind what to do about it.”

Rowling’s statement might remind us of these words from Ecclesiastes 3v11: “He has also set eternity in the human heart.”
