Harry Potter author JK Rowling and children characters Paddington Bear, Mowgli from the Jungle Book and Winnie the Pooh will help Queen Elizabeth celebrate
her 80th birthday in June. The party celebrations will include three thousand children as guests and take place on Sunday, June 25th at Buckingham Palace.
Jo had to this to say about the invitation:
I can think of no better way to mark the Queen's 80th birthday than with a party for children at the Palace with some of the best loved characters from children's literature. Harry and I are very much looking forward to attending, particularly as we understand that, despite his alleged membership of the aristocracy, Lord Voldemort has not been invited.
Children between four and 14 in the UK can apply for tickets online at CBBC Newsround and those who win will get three tickets each so they can take a friend or sibling and an adult.

I just can't imagine why Lord Voldtmore was not invited. The children will love this. Happy Happy Birthday to Queen Elizabeth.
It's to bad that American children can't have something like this.

Harry and I are very much looking forward to attending, particularly as we understand that, despite his alleged membership of the aristocracy, Lord Voldemort has not been invited.
What a great comment. She is so brilliant!

Oh wow! The Queen's 80th birthday! That must really be something... I mean look at how much she's accomplished, being a single mother living with the basics in terms of money and now she's getting invited by the queen to her birthday!

Wow if I was her I would be nervouse! Though she is richer than the Queen so maybe the Queen will be the nervouse one.
