Fasting Muslim 'Harry Potter' fan receives 'birthday gift' from JK Rowling

Washington: A Muslim 'Harry Potter' got the best surprise when none other than creator of the magical world, JK Rowling, responded to his tweet, that too on his birthday.

Mujtaba Alvi, a 21-year-old resident of Toronto, who was fasting during Ramadan, was rereading 'Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix,' when he tweeted that the food descriptions in the book was making his mouth water.

Rowling, who likes to keep in touch with her fans, responded writing that he should try the seventh book 'Harry Potter and the Deathly Hollows,' as the wizards Harry, Ron and Hermione don't get to eat too much in that.

According to Time, Alvi, who claims to be a 'true Potterhead,' thought that Rowling's response was dreamlike and happily wrote back "you replied to me on my birthday! :D greatest gift ever."
