J.K. Rowling is currently reading from Sorcerer's Stone and answering fan questions as part of the Easter Egg Roll 2010 at the White House. You can watch below. We will post videos for those who miss it, later on;





UPDATE: Jo read the excerpt where Harry went to Ollivander's wand shop for the first time, and how he came to be owner of the holly wood wand, 11 inches and with a phoenix feather core. Jo also took questions from the young fans: she explained that sparks came out of Harry's holly wand when he first held it because the wand had chosen him as its owner; she gave a great deal of credit to the Harry Potter filmmakers, and especially the actors, on staying true to the movie - Jo insisted that the actors were just like the characters as she imagined them.

She said that Charms was her favourite subject because so much could go wrong; that she may consider re-entering's Harry's world to write something in 10 years; that she has no interest in owning a house-elf, despite how useful they may be; and that she plans to release something in the "not too distant future," but it will not focus on Harry or the wizarding world.

Deathly Hallows is Jo's favourite book; and of the character she missed the most, Jo said that after the trio, Dumbledore stuck out to her the most, but she also really enjoyed writing Snape, even if he wasn't a nice person. A few screencaps from the reading can be seen in our galleries.
