 I got to meet Jo Rowling at the Edinburgh Festival - a press packer reports for CBBC Summary:
Another fan report has emerged, this time from an official CBBC press packer who attended the Edinburgh Festival and also got to meet the author. Article: I got to meet Jo Rowling at the Edinburgh Festival
Press Packer, Alice, who is 15 and from Suffolk, was one of the lucky fans to attend the Edinburgh Book Festival through winning tickets in a ballot - only 500 people were allowed to attend. She has written her 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. Source: CBBC Newsround.  | |

That's awesome.. that's such a cool experience. I hope she had actually finished the book, though. ::glares at the idiots who entered the contest and hadn't even finished OotP::

WOW. That would have been really an amazing experience to be able to meet her, or even to go! Or to get your booked signed! She must have been one happy girl!
