Speaking tot he Daily Record, a man named Mark confessed: “I’m not a JK Rowling fan. I’ve not read any Harry Potter.

“I just managed to get hold of a ticket so that I can get a book signed. Her signed Harry Potter books go for thousands and she’s signing a lot fewer books than she used to.

“My book will go on eBay. I’m here for that really.”

The novel, from the woman behind the Harry Potter franchise, has already sold 2.6 million copies on pre-order alone.
