Harry Potter creator is (almost) magically delicious

Our beloved JK Rowling almost became the victim of some dark arts when a rogue wizard thrust his wand into the air and cast Exposium (ex-POZ-ee-um, "show them to me") in an attempt to reveal more of the author than she intended when she dressed for the evening's events. The spell's usual effect exposes hidden items and is most often used to cause "wardrobe malfunctions."

But the billionaire authoress travels with her own private wizard bodyguard who promptly countered the spell with Modesto! and saved our revered (and modest) Potter mum with a quick cover-up. Note how the caster's hand needs to be in contact with the fleshy bits to be effective.

Look how satisfied she is. Personal bodyguard wizards are expensive, but given this recent example, well worth every penny. The offending wizard would have been destroyed, had he not disappeared into a puff of smoke.
