| | |  UPDATED: Who will interview J.K.Rowling?
We reported several weeks ago that ITV were holding a contest to determine which lucky British child would interview J.K.Rowling on National TV.
A quiz show called ' Harry Potter at the Castle: The Quest for the Ultimate Potter Fan' will feature four finalists from this competition. Those four fans will compete for the chance to interview Rowling.
The programme will be aired on ITV1 on Sunday July 10th at 5:15pm. Quote:
Four of JK Rowling's biggest fans test their knowledge of the best-selling saga. The young contestants must also prove their journalistic skills as the winner will get to interview the author in an exclusive one-to-one chat to mark the imminent publication of the sixth instalment, Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince. Presented by Ben Shephard.
A scan of a magazine article about the show can be seen here.
Thanks to Kaz for the tip!
Source: ITV UPDATE: An Irish news site has quoted the presenter of the show as saying: Quote:
"There's a lot at stake for the four contestants. To get this far is an amazing achievement but to be crowned the ultimate Harry Potter fan, to meet JK Rowling and attend the book launch is a chance in a lifetime."

That is neat! Well good luck to all of the contestants. I would be so nervous talking to her, lol. My palms always get all sweaty when I am around a famous person. I'm bad at getting in front of people too, lol. I envy their skills. Well good luck again, and thanks for the info!

True but I imagine most bookstores will put on their TV's for the live reading from JK. I'm going to have my mum record it just to be on the safe side. I think it's supposed to go worldwide. Quote:

No. But if they do, I'll let you know  | |

Grr...I think at that time it will be late night here. I hope they put up JK's reading online. I'll be still asleep when she reads it. Time zones suck!!  | |

Cause Hogwarts is bigger than any of us, of any of it's founders,

Maybe we'll see our kids come here one day.
That's the thing about Hogwarts.
