Piers Morgan Hits Out At 'Ghastly' J.K. Rowling In Fresh Attack

Piers Morgan has launched a fresh attack on “ghastly” J.K. Rowling.

The ‘Good Morning Britain’ presenter branded the ‘Harry Potter’ author “smug and supercilious”, claiming she is “not even a good writer”.

Piers was giving his opinions on a variety of different celebrities in an interview with The Sun, when he was asked his for this thoughts on the best-selling writer, who he has had a number of public spats with over recent months.

He said: “Never read [Harry Potter], never watched a movie, think she’s utterly ghastly.

“A smug, supercilious, superior kind of person who thinks the only view that matters is hers because she wrote about some Hogwarts and wizards — do me a favour.”

Despite admitting two seconds earlier to not having read the books, Piers continued: “She’s not even a good writer. Good writers will tell you ‘Harry Potter’ is terrible in terms of literary quality.

“But she’s made billions of pounds out of conning the world that she’s a great writer. And as a result we’re apparently all expected to genuflect at the altar of J.K. Rowling. No thanks.”

The two recently engaged in a Twitter spat when the author admitted she’d loved watching him being told to “fuck off” on American television.

He later fell for an epic trick, when she tweeted out a piece of praise, suggesting it was a Valentine appealing to find the author.

“Could the writer let me know who he is? I’d love to thank him,” she said.
