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. ‘
