On Thursday, while appearing at a press conference for her new film, the Potter spinoff Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them 'Harry Potter' author J.K. Rowling acknowledged that things in the world ?bleak? at the moment in light of recent events, but added that she doesn't ?want to say anything more specifically about anything right now."
