Jason Isaacs compares Harry Potter books to crack cocaine
Harry Potter actor Jason Isaacs has sparked controversy by comparing the books to crack cocaine.
Isaacs, who plays evil Lucius Malfoy in the movies, said: "I hadn’t read them and I wondered why all my friends were being slightly backward and reading children’s literature.
"I was offered these books and I read them. They were like crack. I could not put them down.
"I got the first four and I was up all night. I finished them and was exhausted but desperate for more, so I understand why people are so addicted to the books and the films."
When the audience gasped at his drug comment, he added: "So I’ve heard."
Isaacs gave the interview on ITV2’s The Justin Lee Collins Show.
