| | |  J.K.Rowling to attend Queen's Birthday Bash
J.K.Rowling is to attend a children's literature themed party at Buckingham Palace on June 25th for the Queen's 80th birthday.
3000 tickets are available to the public in a ballot. Children entering must be between the ages of 4 - 14 and, if they win, they will be able to take a friend and an adult along with them to the party.
Many British books and characters are to be celebrated also with the aim of promoting reading amongst children. Events will include a play based on Roald Dahl's BFG. Quote:
'I can think of no better way to mark the Queen's 80th birthday than with a party for children at the Palace with some of the best loved characters from children's literature. Harry and I are very much looking forward to attending, particularly as we understand that, despite his alleged membership of the aristocracy, Lord Voldemort has not been invited.'
JK Rowling
Quote:
At 6pm, a specially written show will be staged in the Garden, lasting around an hour and a half. The show is being broadcast live on BBC1. CBBC will also be at the Party to go behind the scenes and bring you all the best bits.
For a chance to win tickets, go to this page. Terms and Conditions can be found here and here - you have to be British to apply for tickets. The draw closes on February 28th.
In the name of nostalgia, pictures from the announcement of the plans, featuring much-loved children's characters, can be seen here. UPDATE: Apparently Dan Radcliffe is NOT going to be attending the event.  | |

They say that Dan may not be able to make it, due to his schedule! His name has been removed from the BBC story.

You know, I was wondering about that! HPANA didn't have it up and DR.com never put it up... and I thought too that June had to be a conflicting time for Dan.
