Emily Kaht holds the Guinness World Record for the “fastest half marathon time while dressed as a witch.” Now comes the backlash.
But despite her controversial stances, support for Rowling’s popular characters has not suffered much, with the latest Harry Potter video game,, becoming Warner Bros. Games’ biggest video game launch to date. Despite this continued success, many longtime readers have distanced themselves from the author herself.
One woman, however, is making her support for Rowling so public that she now holds a Guinness World Record for it., whose real name is Emily Kaht, has gone viral after sharing that she is now a Guinness World Record holder. Her accomplishment? She now holds the record for the “fastest half marathon time while dressed as a witch,” which she set at the Madison Half Marathon on November 13, 2022.
Kaht posted an image of her record-winning look to Twitter and added the following message. “Inspired by @jk_rowling, I ran with a special message wrapped around my broomstick. #ThisWitchDoesntBurn #IStandWithJKRowling,” the caption read., Kaht says she ran the race “in protest of witch hunts and in honor of those, past and present, who have been victims of them. After all these centuries, ‘witch’ is still the epithet hurled at women who have the audacity to stand up for themselves.
Unsurprisingly, Kaht’s new record has caused backlash on Twitter. Her tweet has amassed nearly 2,000 replies and over 2,600 quote tweets—many of which are not exactly praising Ka at the time of this publishing.
