HARRY POTTER - ROWLING A WIZARD AT MINESWEEPER

HARRY POTTER author JK ROWLING likes to relax following a hard day's writing by playing computer game MINESWEEPER - and she's so accomplished at it she's seconds away from being in the game's top 100 world players.

The 38-year-old needs to complete the first three levels in under 95 seconds to become a member of the global gaming elite.

But her current best time is 101 seconds, which is six seconds too long for the champion Minesweeper title she so craves.

Rowling says, "I now like to escape the complexities of the latest Harry Potter plot by playing a quick game of Minesweeper."
