JKRowling claims ex-husband kept ‘HarryPotter’ manuscript as ‘hostage’
According to JK Rowling, her abusive ex-husband tried to prevent her from leaving him by hiding the first Harry Potter book’s manuscript. According to the author, she worried that Portuguese TV reporter Jorge Arantes might burn the pages of “Harry Potter and the Philosopher’s Stone” that he was holding as “hostage.”Rowling surreptitiously began photocopying a few pages every day after learning where the manuscript was to make sure her effort wouldn’t be lost.
Rowling said: “It was a horrible state of tension to live in because I had to act as though I wasn’t going and I don’t think I’m a very good actor. That’s a terrible way to live and yet the manuscript kept growing, I had continued to write.” “Gradually in a cupboard in the staff room, bit by bit, a photocopied manuscript grew and grew because I suspected that if I wasn’t able to get out with everything he would burn it or take it and hold it hostage. That manuscript meant so much to me and it was the thing that I prioritized saving.”
