Kobe Bryant – LA Lakers guard, who is already an Olympic gold medallist and 14-time pick in the NBA’s end-of-season all star team, has always described himself as the biggest fan of the British writer Joanne K. Rwoling and her boy wizard creation – Harry Potter.
American Olympic basketball star Kobe Bryant said : ‘ I’m a huge Harry Potter fan and a huge Joanne K. Rowling fan. I’m a fan of everything she does and I’ve read all the books. ‘

This is not the first time that Kobe Bryant has referred to his passion for the works of British novelist Joanne K. Rowling.
In some interview last year, Kobe Bryant likened the experience of going to the Beijing 2008 Olympic village to being ‘ like Harry Potter going to Hogwarts ‘, and in 2008 when the Lakers lost the NBA play-offs to the Boston Celtics, he said how he had read the stories to Bryant’s daughters to escape the pressure of the competition.
US basketball player Kobe Bryant said : ‘ Harry Potter had more problems with Voldemort than we have dealing with the media after a loss ‘.
Rowling’s first post-Harry Potter book : ‘ The Casual Vacancy ‘, will arrive the bookstores in September. It is also her first book written for an adult audience. The book’s publishers have described it as ‘ blackly comic, thought-provoking and constantly surprising. ‘
