| | JKR Deathly Hallows reading to stream live + JKR Webchat July 30th In a recent press release, Bloomsbury has announced that the beloved J.K. Rowling will be hosting two live events which can be accessed from your very own computer.
We've all heard about the Midnight Reading (on July 20th/21st at midnight BST), in which Jo Rowling will be reading a portion of Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows for a certain group of people. It has now been announced that everyone everywhere can listen to the reading [which will take place at the Natural History Museum in London] by a live webstream at bloomsbury.com.
Also, J.K. Rowling and the Live Chat will take place, giving fans another chance to get a bit more Jo! During it, fans can submit questions to Jo in a web chat that will take place from 2-3 PM BST. This will happen on Monday, July 30th, and questions can be submitted one week in advance - or live - at the same time, and same site.
Thanks to Bloomsbury for e-mailing and letting us know! |

Anybody remember when Bloomsbury posted the first preview poster for Deathly Hallows? The Bloomsbury site couldn't even handle that load and that was a simple PDF file.
So far as streaming live... I doubt the site will be accessible for long once the event starts. You watch and see just how fast the lovely 404 screens take to start.
Then again, maybe they wised up and bought some more bandwidth?

| I agree that this could be really awesome, but I gotta go with tia_leoni - I'll believe this when I see {or hear} it. Still, it's nice of them to make this available to us! Here's hoping it works so we all can have the luxury of hearing JKR herself read it! |
