| | |  J.K. Rowling visits Royal Opera House to read Tales of Beedle the Bard (UPDATE #3)
Early this morning we reported that J.K. Rowling was to do a reading at the Royal Opera house in London, England, today. J.K. Rowling has now arrived at the venue where she will be reading from the Tales of Beedle the Bard. Michelle Obama and Sarah Brown, wife to the Prime Minister Gordon Brown, are also at the event which will feature ballet and opera performances.
Footage of Jo arriving at the event can be seen here.
We will have photos when they are made available.
Source: The Leaky Cauldron UPDATE: A photo of Jo being greeted by Mrs. Brown can be seen here.   UPDATE #2: More information has come out about Jo's visit to the dinner and opera house. It can be read here: Quote:
Miss Rowling then received a second presidential seal of approval for the boy wizard from Russia's President Medvedev and his wife Svetlana, who not only admitted to having read the Harry Potter books but also asked for her autograph.
Quote:
J K Rowling, who wore a pale pink shift dress, read extracts from her latest book, The Tales Of Beedle The Bard which was a best-seller last year.
UPDATE #3: The event was apparently recorded by the British Vogue. They also state they were given permission to take exclusive portrait shots of the guests. We will post their coverage when it is available.  | |
