Finishing with Harry Potter was more painful than divorce, the author of the boy wizard blockbuster tales J.K. Rowling said Tuesday.

The billionaire author, who wrote her seventh and last Potter tome last year was tearful as she accepted an award for outstanding achievement in London.

“It has been the worst break-up of my life — far worse than splitting up with any man,” the 42-year-old told an audience at the Dorchester Hotel for the South Bank Show awards.

“But it has also been wonderful to stop and draw breath and think, ‘My God, look what’s happened with an idea I had 17 years ago on a train’.”
