GOOD grief, Harry Potter writer J K Rowling earns a Lottery win every week.
A list of the best- selling authors who have made the most money in the past year placed Ms Rowling at the top with a massive £160m.
That’s £3m a week.
By heck, missus, but that’s magic.
If I’d only thought of penning the antics of a schoolboy in glasses instead of writing for the Examiner, that could have been me.
But enough of idle speculation of what might have been. You’ll have to excuse me now, as I get back to my new novel: Harry Blotter and the Half Wood Prince.
Harry, a pupil at Bogwarts School of Flushing and Lavatory Science, tries to save Prince Oak from the vices of evil Lord Nasalwart, a carpenter of the black arts who wants to turn him into a Queen Anne chair. Oh, the ignominy.
Will romance blossom between Prince Oak and Princess Willow for whom he pines? Or will the dastardly Lord Nasalwart chop off his acorns and turn him into an item of dining room furniture?
Never fear. Harry has a secret plan involving a rubber plunger and the blotting paper for which he is famous.
Watch here for details of book signings, film rights and my first million.
Now that would be magic.
