"Could smell this one a mile off!"

New York - (Reuterus): Perrenial fantasy story rip-off artiste JK Rowling has filed a law suit alleging a forthcoming encylopaedia 'Ten Thousand Whopping Great Big Fibs About Harry Potter' contravenes her global status as the world's top exploiter of hoodwinked kids' fiction readers.

"I feel frustrated, wounded and belittled that somebody is challenging my right to get away with such a marvellously-crafted deception," the daughter of BBC TV gargoyle Anne Robinson and former KGB/Mossad double agent Robert Maxwell RIP told the press today.

"The scam has enriched me beyond my wildest dreams and talents," Rowling continued, wiping away a solitary tear with her literary agent's proferred onion-infused handkerchief.

Rowling's deposition states she feel aggrieved that despite marathon efforts to create the record breaking deception crediting her with the creation "of this literary world" fans of the Harry Potter books will now realise it has all been a massive hoax.

"Don't let them get away with it I beg you!" she sobbed piteously.

Meanwhile in a palatial mansion somewhere in central London's Pall Mall the real Harry Potter author's literary agents, attorneys and Interpol evidence dossier-holders cracked open a Magnum of the '96 Krug and relaxed in sweet anticipation.

The funny story above is a satire or parody. It is entirely fictitious.
