J. K.
Rowling, The author of World fame fantasy novel Harry Potter is all set to
release her new book “The Ickabog” in November 2020. The idea of this book came
to her when she was still writing Harry Potter and she intended to publish it
after finishing the renowned novel but Rowling ended up keeping its first draft
in her attic where it remained for quite some time. This story is different
from Harry Potter and there is no magic in it. It talks about the truth and the
abuse of power. Considering the current pandemic situation the author decided
