| | |  More reports from J.K.Rowling's trip to Romania
A Romanian newscast featured clips of J.K.Rowling arriving in Romania and briefly speaking to the press. The video can be watched here at around the 44:50 point.
Other written reports have emerged with details about the trip to Romania where JK was present as a part of the Children's High Level Group fighting to improve the conditions in which children live in Eastern European orphanages. Reports can be read at The Scotsman and The Herald. Quote:
"I firmly believe that every child deserves a secure and loving environment. I am keen to build on your success here and in the wider world," she said.
Quote:
"There is now widespread agreement among child health experts that irreparable long-term damage is caused to young children who are institutionalised without a parent."
Jo later attended a fundraising gala dinner, where some orphaned children played classical music and 10 signed copies of ' Half-Blood Prince' were auctioned off.
Further pictures from the trip can be seen here.
Thanks to The Leaky Cauldron for the information.  | |

they're gonna try and tell me this wasn't, that none of this happened,

We spent time here. We made friends here. That's a part of us.
Cause Hogwarts is bigger than any of us, of any of it's founders,
and it's going to be around long after we're gone.
Maybe we'll see our kids come here one day.
That's the thing about Hogwarts.
No matter how long you're away from it, there's always a way back. | |

I`m really loving that! To bring some magic to children, who can`t find it themselves....very good. Not every child gets what deserves, this is sad.
Agree with Jo completely.
"The photograph that ac-companied the article – of a very young boy staring through wire mesh at the camera – is still branded on my memory. In fact, it was so disturbing that when my eyes first fell on it my immediate instinct was to turn the page quickly so as not to have to look at it. However . . . I smoothed the newspaper out again and read the article from beginning to end.
