Rowling denies ex-hubby inspired Harry Potter villain Lockhart

WASHINGTON: Author JK Rowling has dismissed reports that the character of Gilderoy Lockhart in the Harry Potter series was based on her ex-husband. Rowling has been accused of basing Lockhart, an overly vain wizard, on her former husband Jorge Arantes, who she married in 1992. However, she insists that the speculation is not true, and that none of the characters are based on him. She also said that she would never write anything negative about her ex as he was her elder daughter Jessicas father. “Whatever happened in our marriage, the truth is my ex-husband contributed 50 per cent to on one of the most beautiful things in my life, my eldest daughter,” Contactmusic quoted her, as saying.

That’s the message, in his own way, he’s trying to get out. Word about Justin continued to spread, and it wasn’t long before adults started coming up to meet him even before he spoke. All of a sudden, Justin knew how Harry Potter felt when Harry went to the Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry for the first time and discovered his reputation had arrived before he did. In the minivan on the drive home from Hagerstown, Justin is going through caverns, fighting beasts, looking for hidden treasure, trying to light two lighthouses because doing that will save the world. Nothing can distract him from this game, not even his baby sister, who does not readily fall asleep in the car despite the stereotype that all babies fall asleep in cars. Justin was excited to have a baby sister. So were his moms, who started trying to have a baby together two years ago.
