Former TV reporter Jorge Arantes has claimed he helped her write the first book in the wake of her claims she feared he would have burned the manuscript if she had tried to walk out on their turbulent marriage.
JK Rowling’s husband has branded her “delirious” over claims he would have burned her Harry Potter manuscript – and claimed he helped her write it.
“I was surprised when I read about this. I deny it. It doesn’t make any sense. Why would I do something like that? Maybe you should ask her.” “The project was for seven books, and I was very involved with the first one and she knows that. She started writing it when we were together.”Multi-millionaire Rowling was married to Arantes from 1992 to 1995 and they had daughter Jessica, 27.
Rowling – now worth an estimated £850 million thanks to the Harry Potter book and film franchise – added: “That was his hostage.” Rowling has previously spoken about her stormy marriage to Arantes, who she met at a bar when she was teaching in his native Portugal, and she published details of their relationship in a personal essay published in 2020.
