JK Rowling has been in the news of late for various reasons. The play Harry Potter and the Cursed Child was a sell-out as Harry Potter fans thronged the theatre, though there was a sense of disappointment as several critics thought the play did not quite have the magic expected. Then came the news of the script of her eighth book being published. The author did indeed clarify it was the “script” which was not strictly written by her. She and the play's director John Tiffany collaborated with playwright Jack Thorne, and he was the one who brought her story to the stage. Nevertheless, it angered her enthusiastic fans who felt they had ended up with a play instead of a book.
