Harry Potter author sues assistant for stealing toys
Harry Potter series creator J.K. Rowling sued her former assistant Amanda Donaldson, accusing the latter of systematic theft. According to the British television channel BBC, it is not only about using the writer's funds for personal purposes, but also the theft of expensive toys related to her works. Donaldson collaborated with Rowling from 2014 to 2017. It is alleged that she had the writer's personal bank card at her disposal so that she could make the necessary purchases on her behalf. However, the assistant often used her for personal needs, for example, paying for expensive cosmetics, dining out in restaurants, or for "buying two cats." Moreover, she allegedly stole part of the funds from Rowling's personal safe, where foreign currency was kept. As for toys, the writer accused her assistant of stealing a working model of the Hogwarts Express, as well as several collectible sets. In total, Rowling estimated her damage from Amanda Donaldson's actions at 31 thousand dollars. The former assistant herself categorically denies her involvement in the disappearances.
