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.

Ha, that's funny. Lord Voldemort has not been invited. It's pretty sweet that the only person richer than the Queen of England will be attending.

That's really cool news. I can't believe the Queen is going to be 80 years old already. She certainly doesn't act that old. Anyway, JK's very lucky to be attending and participating :)

How fantastic. I would love an opportunity to see Buckingham Palace, much less celebrate the Queen's Birthday.

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!
JKR is richer than the Queen anyway!
