Following Fenerbahce forward Luigi Datome’s tweet asking to meet famous author JK Rowling, the Harry Potter creator responded to the Italian today.
Datome was pelted with coins and lighters following Fenerbahce’s Istanbul derby win against Galatasaray over the weekend.
The image on Datome’s Facebook came up of the former NBA player showing a deep cut that resembled Harry Potter.
Datome saw the funny side and as he is a book buff, he took to social media asking to to meet Rowling.
Guys, please tag me and @jk_rowling with the picture, it's the only chance I have to know her. #letstakeadvantageofit

The Italian’s wishes were then made true. But he didn’t need an excuse.
.@GigiDatome Just seen this! For the record, nobody needs a lightning-shaped cut to the head to meet me. Get well soon x #donttrythisathome https://t.co/22VoQkUErv
