ST. PETERSBURG, June 16. /TASS/. Bloggers Vladimir Kuznetsov and Alexey Stolyarov called the author of the famous Harry Potter series, introducing themselves as Ukraine’s president.

Vovan and Lexus, as the bloggers are also known, presented the video of a conversation with Joanne Rowling at the St. Petersburg International Economic Forum on Thursday.

President Vladimir Zelensky has been constantly on the phone to western leaders lately, so his call should hardly come as a surprise, the prankers explained.

"We called Joanne Rowling, talked to her about canceling [Russian] culture and her stand on Russia," Stolyarov said, speaking at a SPIEF session.

Rowling said she was in favor of putting pressure on Russia "culturally and economically," and supported "much tougher sanctions against Russia", according to the prankers.

The bloggers humorously suggested she should think about doing something about Harry Potter’s scar, which is Z-shaped, as this Latin letter is a symbol of Russian troops, fighting in Ukraine, and Rowling promised to "think about it.".
