...there is a persistent urban myth that the authoress herself was turned away from a sold-out Potted Potter performance at the Edinburgh Festival in 2006. Jeff sheds some light: “It was our last show, we were just packing up, and this front house girl, she was 17 or 18, she was crying. And we said, ‘No, this is exciting! We’ve finished, we can go get a Butter Beer.’ And it turns out, a lady had come by and asked for a ticket, and they told her it was sold out, and the house manager came back and said, ‘Was that JK Rowling you just spoke to?’ So they chased around, looking for her. We don’t know if it’s definite. But we now say, absolutely anywhere in the world, including Manila, we always leave one ticket not sold. So if she turns up, it’s there. Because if you do it once, it’s an accident, but if you do it again, it’s malicious.” philstar/arts-and-culture/2014/08/04/1353834/potted-potter-casts-another-spell-manila
