Rowling "angry" about epilogue leak

JK Rowling has admitted that she was furious when pages from the final Harry Potter novel were leaked online.

The best-selling author found herself feeling disappointed and "angry" when the epilogue of Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows was made available to fans before the book had been released.

"I felt angry. I knew it was about other people's egos," Rowling explained in an interview with USA Today. "The leak of the epilogue upset me most. I had been working towards that point for a long time. I did have a sense of humour failure when the epilogue went up."
