Harry Potter author says she has already turned down peerage titles twice
J.K. Rowling made a surprising announcement.
On her account on the social network X, the writer stated that she had already twice refused the peerage offered to her.
Earlier, YouGov conducted a survey among UK residents about who should be given a peerage.
About 40% of Britons considered it possible to award the title to the author of the popular saga about the adventures of the boy wizard "Harry Potter".
The circulation of the saga exceeds 400 million copies, and the books themselves have been translated into 65 languages. The film adaptation of the novels brought the author of the saga enormous success and recognition throughout the world.
However, it turned out that J.K. Rowling had already received such an offer twice, and she considered it necessary to reject it.
Rowling stressed that she was offered the title at a time when the Labour Party was in power, and then the Tory Party.
She stressed that she would refuse this offer if the writer was approached with it again.
