| | |  Scholastic's Sorcerer's Stone readathon live webcast (UPDATE #2)
Today the tenth anniversary edition of Sorcerer's Stone has gone on sale in the United States. To celebrate the day, Scholastic have put on a readathon where fans are reading from the book in New York. You can watch the action live online here.
Source: The Leaky Cauldron UPDATE: The webcast is now over but Scholastic have kindly sent us some photos from the day, which can be viewed below; UPDATE #2: A video news report is now online, wherein fans are interviewed about the experience. Quote:
The first to read was series co-editor Arthur Levine.
"It starts with just an author I love and a book that I love," he said. "And here it has reached the largest potential audience it could possibly reach," he said.

I am in America and i won't get to see it unless I want to blow alot of cash to fly up there and pay through the nose for a hotel! It is the New Yorkers that are lucky, in this particular case....

The audio was a little whacked but I assumed that was to do with traffic. Quote:

Not likely, I don't think. This was to commemorate the start of a fandom.
