"Yeah," said Janey, "I'm a Harry Potter kebab is what I am. 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.
