By Callum Gunn
Harry Potter is popular; there is no doubt about that, but J.K. Rowling Tweeted a hilarious caption showing just how popular Harry Potter has actually become.
You know you have made it as an author when your books are used to promote other books. That is exactly what happened to J.K. Rowling when she spotted an advert for a selection of books in a local second-hand bookstore.
The Harry Potter and Fantastic Beasts author shared the advert via her official Twitter account. Showcasing a selection of second-hand books for sale, the little advert below them alluded to how these are the books you buy before re-reading Harry Potter.

A compliment every author would love to get about their books but one that J.K. Rowling has probably received many times considering the amazing success the books about the boy who lived have been.
Rowling was supposedly in Alaska when this happened according to one source who recognized the book shelve from the photo. However, nobody recognized her during the visit, as Rowling explained via Twitter.
