When I came out of Leicester Square Theatre," she continued, "there was just a big queue of people dressed in cloaks with Harry Potter wands which is funny because (Janey's daughter) Ashley did Tanya Potter - a Scottish Harry Potter - and it got 16 million hits online. That made me laugh. Ashley was getting recognised in the street in Glasgow as the Harry Potter girl. Lots of people were dressed as Tanya Potter for Halloween in a shell suit wi' a stick wi' a zigzag on their cheek as a scar."
