Harry Potter creator JK Rowling has written stories
featuring their famous characters in aid of Comic Relief. J K Rowling
has produced Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them, which is the
book junior wizard Harry bought to prepare him for Hogwarts school.
She has also written Quidditch Through The Ages, a library book that
Harry uses to learn the rules of the school's signature sporting activity,
which involves teams playing ball on broomsticks. JK Rowling received
an OBE earlier this month from Prince Charles. "When Comic Relief
asked me to write something I thought I would just love to write the
two books," Ms Rowling told the BBC. "I did two because I had two
in my head and I couldn't really decide between Quidditch and Fantastic
Beasts, so I decided to do them both." Comic Relief founder Richard
Curtis approached J K Rowling to write a story saying he was sure
she would not be able to but he would still love her books regardless.
"It was a very clever way of asking somebody to do something, though
I didn't really need much persuading" JK Rowling told the BBC.
