J.K. Rowling, the author of the Harry Potter books and a resident of Scotland, gave 1 million pounds ($1.7 million) to the campaign to keep the country in the U.K. ahead of a referendum on independence.
The Better Together group confirmed the size of the donation, which Rowling said in a letter on her website was “substantial” after weighing the arguments before the Sept. 18 vote.
