Obama asks for JK Rowling's moniker

US President Barack Obama reportedly asked Harry Potter author JK Rowling for her autograph.

The President has apparently read all the books to his daughter Malia and both are said to be big fans of the boy wizard and his gang.

So when he met Rowling at a Downing Street party this week, he played the good dad card and got her signature to take home.

Meanwhile, Harry Potter actress Emma Watson is being courted by environmental campaign group Greenpeace to be a global ambassador.

The 18-year-old was apparently approached by the organisation after she said "I cannot not be green".

Watson, who plays Hermione Granger in the Harry Potter series, has previously revealed that her end of school project was on global warming and Hurricane Katrina.

She's also a keen recycler and prefers to take public transport.

The actress, who studied at Headington School in Oxford, has also said she is prepared to turn her back on Hollywood to go to university after getting three A-grades in her A levels.
