Harry Potter and the Methods of Rationality is a popular Harry Potter fan-fiction that has attracted strong critical and fan reactions, both positive and negative. It's possible more widely read than any other HP fan-fiction, besides perhaps the Draco Trilogy by Cassandra Clare or My Immortal.
I've seen various assertions online that J.K. Rowling expressed approval of this work in some way. For instance, here, on Goodreads's Pinterest:
A JK Rowling approved fan-rewrite of the Harry Potter novels. Complex
concepts of philosophy and logic are introduced in a humorous, fun to
read, easy to understand, format contained in the well-beloved Harry
Potter universe.
Is this true? Has J.K. Rowling explicitly given approval of this work, or even just said something positive about it?

Thank you for asking this; I've heard it for a long time, but never seen anything more than the HPMOR quote from chapter 7 to support it. Now, if we can just get Slytherincess...err... I mean JK Rowling to come answer it.. :)

"approve" in the case of HP fan-fic probably means more along the lines of "chooses not to sue into oblivion" vs "yeah...this is good - carry on"..although....the "yeah this is good" imprimatur from JKR and Cursed Child now raises some questions.... ;)

The note at the top of HPMOR Chapter 7 is probably the source of these comments:
Whoa. A spokesman for Rowling's literary agent said that Rowling is
okay with the existence of fanfiction as long as no one charges for it
and everyone's clear that the original copyrights belong to her?
That's really cool of her. So thank you, JKR, and thine is the
kingdom!

JKR approves of fan-fiction.
The spokesman for the Christopher Little literary agency said: "JK Rowling's reaction is that she is very flattered by the fact there is such great interest in her Harry Potter series and that people take the time to write their own stories."
- Rowling backs Potter fan fiction - BBC News
It's said that she does have some concerns though...
"Her concern would be to make sure that it remains a non-commercial activity to ensure fans are not exploited and it is not being published in the strict sense of traditional print publishing."
He said writers had to ensure that the stories were not obscene and were credited to the author and not to JK Rowling.
He said: "The books may be getting older, but they are still aimed at young children.
"If young children were to stumble on Harry Potter in a an x-rated story, that would be a problem."
Fan fiction is a genuine online phenomenon, but its roots go back decades.

So concidering all of this, it's likely that she approves of HPMoR.
