A load of old hogwash! Or should that be Hogwarts?
Amused to see that the Media Muggles have obviously been on the Butterbeer again and created a story straight out of the Ministry of Magic!
Wonderful author JK Rowling was apparently offered a trip to space by parties unknown for £2m - which she understandably turned down.
As if by magic and maybe the wave or two of a wand, the story is now that the £2m spaceflight was offered by Virgin Galactic. Not true!
Happy to confirm that all of our 550 future Virgin Galactic Astronauts have paid a small fraction of that amount and that if JK Rowling ever fancies joining us, not only would she be extremely welcome, but she’ll save almost £1.9m!
