The Harry Potter author, who goes by the pen name Robert Galbraith for her stories about detective Cormoran Strike, features a young girl who imagines she is going out with singer Niall Horan.
It’s a whole new readers’ market that she’s trying to explore, as she’s claiming the One Direction’s fans attention to her books.
The former Disney star, who had a public on/off relationship with Justin Bieber, quashed rumours she has romantic feelings for the Mullingar native and said they are just really good friends.
Here’s the excerpt, which is nearly guaranteed to make you pick up a copy immediately. “Niall. Honestly”, Rowling writes.
It was reported earlier this week that Niall Horan is considering getting his first tattoo, during a hiatus One Direction are considering taking.
‘Sorry, ‘ said Strike, completely at sea.
“They’re a band that came third on The X Factor”, another character explains about the reference.
