After yesterday afternoon's children's tea party where J.K. Rowling read from The Tales of Beedle the Bard to several lucky contest winners, the author held an evening reading of The Fountain of Fair Fortune at the National Library of Scotland to thank her various publishers and editors. Evanna Lynch (Luna), Devon Murray (Seamus) and Matthew Lewis (Neville) also were in attendance.

Quote:

[Evanna] told me that the event was amazing and "it's always so nice to hear her reading."

She said that it was more personal to hear Jo reading her own work, and that she was "really impressed with the fairy tales."

You can read the full report here on Mugglenet. Below is a shot of the cover of Barry Cunningham's Beedle the Bard book.

Thanks to Andrew for e-mailing!

UPDATE: We now have a photo of Evanna from after the reading, which can be seen here:

Evanna is quite right. It's more special when the author reads her own work. Glad she had a chance to hear JK read it. Really wished I were there to experience it.
