Best-selling author JK Rowling has spoken of her regret that she never told her mother about her world-famous creation, Harry Potter.
She began work on her tales of the apprentice wizard six months before her mother Anne, who had multiple sclerosis, died at the age of 45.
Rowling’s comments came in a BBC Scotland programme about the degenerative disease.
The writer expressed frustration about a lack of funding for MS research.
Recalling her mother, the Edinburgh-based author said: “I started writing Harry six months before she died. That’s obviously a real regret, because I never told her I was even writing it.
“She never knew anything about Harry Potter at all.”
