account of the event for the
CBBC. The report includes pictures from the event and of the winner.
Quote:
"I couldn't believe it when I won the Newsround competition to go and see JK Rowling at the Edinburgh Festival.*
The Harry Potter books are my all-time favourite and she is my favourite writer.*
I told some of my friends about it and they were really excited for me too!"
Quote:
JK seemed really nice, I did not really get to meet her personally but she seemed very friendly.
Quote:
And why didn't Dumbledore try to kill Voldemort in that scene at the end of book five?*
I'm not really sure what they mean yet. I have wondered if Dumbledore won't kill Voldemort because it means it would hurt Harry aswell but I'm not sure.*
Quote:
I got my copy of Order of the Phoenix signed - she wrote: 'To Alice, well done! and signed it.*
Quote:
Me and mum took some photos to remember the event too, we got one of me with JK while she signed my book.
