JK, the beauty and the beast . . .

THERE’S no denying that Harry Potter creator J.K. Rowling is still on top of her game when it comes to conjuring up mythical wizardry — judging by this extraordinary image she has posted as her Twitter handle.

With her face half-covered in the mask of a black beast and single horn, Rowling, 53, seems to have created a devilish new creature. With Halloween approaching, the writer is clearly having fun with fantasy — either that, or she is researching a new character for a return to Hogwarts.
