JK Rowling has been defended by Warner Bros after a question about her was blocked at a Harry Potter event.
TheHarry Potter writer, 56, was supported by the studio after a Sky News reporter was stopped from asking actor Tom Felton about Rowling on the 25th anniversary of Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone.
Felton, 34, who played Draco Malfoy in the Harry Potter films, stayed silent as a third-party publicist said off screen "next question please" when asked about the Rowling's absence from the anniversary celebrations.
After being questioned on why the line of inquiry was cut short, the PR team said: "JK Rowling is not connected to Warner or Tom Felton, the team felt it was not relevant to the piece."
