Author JK Rowling has been given an outstanding achievement prize for her success with the Harry Potter books at the South Bank Show awards.
Accepting the prize, the 42-year-old told the audience that saying goodbye to Harry Potter in her final book was more painful than the ending of a relationship.
The awards will be broadcast on 3 February on ITV1 at 2240 GMT.
