78-year-old Harry Potter from Bradenton, Florida, who is inundated with several calls a day whenever a new Potter book or movie is released, claimed to have received a call from none other than J.K. Rowling.

He said she was planning to hold a party for people named Harry Potter this December in either New York City or London.

However Scholastic have now confirmed that this is false and that Jo is planning no such event.

Thanks to Veritaserum for the correct information!
