Ack! JK Rowling is currently at the Royal Albert Hall fielding questions from children. She's supposed to do a reading from the Order of the Phoenix as well. I'm seriously thinking of running over there to see if I can crash the party! Go see the live webcast!

In case you can't see it (in my case, I can't hear it because I've stupidly left my headphones at home), she's being interviewed by Stephen Fry right now (he looks a bit Harry Potterish but I don't think that's deliberate) and there's a huge mockup of a fireplace behind them. The Albert Hall is also packed to the gills with children. The questions are asked by children from all over the world (live video feeds) and I guess Stephen Fry's there to add some humour and to keep things going.
